Alright, jolly ranchers. It's 12 Creationz of Christmas time. And to start things off I'm resurrecting an oldie. For those of you who weren't keeping tabs on this blog a bazillion years ago, Marvel Earth 600 was a headcanon that I created and posted about in detail a total of 4 times. It's basically the Marvel Universe, but every character has been flipped on their respective head. Click on
this link if you want to dive into the depths of Archiveville and read those original four. But for now, without further ado, let's get into the Earth-600-ing of the character I promised all those eons ago that I would do next . . .
- Matt Murdock: after getting caught in the devistating crosshairs of a chemical spill, lawyer Matt Murdock was left blinded, burned, and teetering on the precipice of passing on. And given his moral choices so far, things weren't looking so good regarding where he'd be passing onto. But something shone upon him that day. A glorious, glowing being. It stood at the foot of his hospital bed, offering him a literally life-saving deal and a firm handshake to seal it. He accepted in a heartbeat. The only problem was, that being glowed red. And Matt Murdock had just given over his soul to a being known to some as Satan, to some as Mephisto, but who chooses to call himself "the Beast". Only unlike in the case of our pal Ghost Rider, Matt Murdock wasn't forced to run around settling scores on the devil's behalf. Instead, he was given two things: horns, and a watch. Two hideous horns, and a crimson-tinted watch that ticked and ticked and ticked down to the day he would 100% truly die. And every day Murdock continued living his newly restored life, those two things would remind him of what he had agreed to: that no matter what he did to change, once he finally passed on, his soul would contractually land in the hands of his putrid partner for eternity. There was nothing that ol' Matt could do at this point. So, luckily, he got some significant help. Taking pity on the poor lawyer and knowing the untapped potential that his soul was endowed with, an angelic being known soley as "Stick" was sent to recrute him into the earthly ranks of the "One-Above-All;" to allow him to fight alongside the angels against the fallen beings hat lurk among the living; to allow Murdock to maybe, just maybe find redemption and rid himself of the terrible debt he owes in the afterlife. So, just as desperate to reclaim his life as he had once been to save it, he said yes. Equipped a pair of battons embowed with holy energy, Murdock fights alongside Stick in the war against the dark spirits of Earth 600, as well as the Beast's human followers (known by the moniker of "the Hand")--and all the while working to once and for all save his soul. (Should I try to tie this post into Christmas? Should I make that connection? I dunno, it's past midnight and I'm too tired to function. You get the jist. Angels and all that good stuff.)
