Muse is confused

Mun?

What are Kamen Riders?

And why are you creating an alternate universe where Mr. Wayne is one? And the others are too?

Oh boy, am I familiar with that.

Kamen means 'mask' in Japanese. In that context, it more or less means "Masked Rider". It's generally associated with a transforming armor state, maybe even a transforming motorcycle. And it is pretty much always a motorcycle.

Kind of, yeah. It's a kind of superhero alias, almost a legacy name like Blue Beetle.

I have my own bike and armor set.

That's the ticket. While each one usually has unique abilities, the motorcycle and a couple staple powers are kind of a common theme between them.

I'm ... yeah. In another reality from this one.

See? Someone who gets how cool superheroing is! Though technically, I'm only a superhero by virtue of newspaper headlines.

The group my wife is a part of are mostly cybernetic war vets, in a special police group known as Section 9. They deal with terrorism and extreme internal threats, and things too heavy duty for your standard beat cop. As good as I am, I'm only organic, and while I heal faster than the normal human, a .50 cal round can still ruin my day.

So I built a set of armor and a cycle to keep up, unaware of the Kamen Rider thing at the time. I built it to enhance my physical attributes, and also conceal my identity underneath from certain factions on that world that might want me taken care of.

The news caught footage of me helping out with some rogue construction robots and started calling me the Masked Rider: Kamen Rider.

Kind of, yeah. I work with Section 9; though I technically don't exist. I'm a big government secret there.

I'm from another reality. Their technology isn't at the level my home dimension's earth is at, and my alternate me died in their last world war.

Hence, I'm kept secret.

A Kamen Rider is a hero who fights for justice - someone who protects those in need, despite the cost to themselves, a person who fights to protect the smiles of regular people because they have the ability to do so.
thisclinchesit: (Heh.)

[personal profile] thisclinchesit 2012-02-04 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
In a manner of speaking, yes.

There's exceptions here and there, but in a general sense, superhero is a good term.
thisclinchesit: (How YOU doin'?)

[That gets a grin and an amused chuckled out of the man.]

Well, you never know - you may have met one before and not known it.
