Character: Victor Mancha
Series:
RunawaysCharacter Age: 2, but looks about 16
Canon: At more than one point in our lives, all of us have considered our parents to be the worst evil that's ever set foot on the earth: they set curfews, they ground you, and they even make you eat vegetables, ew. But what would you do if one day you found out that your parents are, in fact, supervillains who want to take over the world? If you answered "run away from home and try to stop their evil plans" give yourself a pat on the back, because that's what Runaways is all about!
Victor is a sexy Mexican cyborg who was programmed with strong Catholic beliefs, and a hard on for anything involving super-heroes. In an alternate future, he grows up to become the baddiest baddy that's ever baddied, but in this timeline, Vic is content with being a normal, geeky teenager who knows an inordinate amount of random (sometimes useless) facts, and enjoys sleeping naked. Except, of course, for the part where he also possesses super-human speed and strength, and l33t electromagnetic powers, among other computer-related abilities, but that's neither here nor there! Victor is kind, noble, and his affinity for super-heroes has given him a strong sense of justice. His alternate future self concerns him and he is constantly striving to prove his friends he would never betray them, which fortunately for him, is not so difficult a task once you realize how easy it is to top him (particularly if you are a tiny little girl).

Y'know, when I said I've always wanted to go to a summer camp, I didn't actually mean "I'd love to be at a summer camp right now, in the middle of March." How did that even happen, anyway? If I didn't know better, I'd say this is divine punishment for making too many "this one time, at band camp..." jokes.
Eeeexcept it would have to be zombie camp instead of band camp, right. Guess I just got lucky with this one, not bad for my first time, huh? The guys back at the Barrio would be jealous, I bet, it's not like you get to cook Louisiana Fried Undead every day. And it smells like real chicken and everything! The more you know.
But pointless PSA's aside, I'll be eternally grateful if someone could point me to the way out, por favor. I've already tried following the yellow brick road, and it just keeps taking me to the same place over, and over again. Hell, if you're gonna play with dimensional portals, at least make it interesting. Dropping people near ominous glowing lakes stopped being cool like ten years ago, you know? 'sides, everybody knows plutonium's not really green, gimme a break.
On the positive side, there's wireless internet here! Sure, having a Net Nanny inside your head can be real creepy, but I can totally get past that as long as it doesn't block Wikipedia or IMDB. Also, they really need to move all of their communities and journals to like, JournalFen or GreatestJournal. How can they live with all those freakin' database errors? And speaking of errors, what's that trying to break through my firewal--
Oh Dios mío. H-Hello there! Lemme guess, you're the giant squid from the Harry Potter books, aren't you? I knew all those nights reading to Mol would pay off eventually, I mean. Fancy meeting you here! I'd ask for an autograph, but you seem kinda busy trying to hook up with me and that's just Not Right. Animatronics these days! Do you even understand machine code? ...
