What if Worm, but it's not a genre deconstruction? In a world without Browbeat, Taylor Hebert triggers as a tinker rather than a bug controller. Naturally, she still intends to become a hero, but getting started as a tech builder needs a lot more resources than collecting a bunch of spiders and waiting while they weave a costume, and she still wants to build a reputation for herself to build a strong negotiating position to join the Wards...

Taylor has a wonderful, terrible, awful idea, and so Captain Warhead is born, a pirate themed minor villain to have a lucrative but short career stealing cash that is well insured before being defeated in a dramatic battle by his nemesis, Payload, a heroic tinker with a much more refined aesthetic who insists her rocket specialty is completely different than his missiles. But, like I said, it's the Worm cast and backdrop, but not a deconstruction, and in superhero comics a popular villain never stays dead, even if it takes a thirty Xanatos pileup to reintroduce him.

Also includes punching an Endbringer in the face with a flying pirate ship, so don't miss out.
