Liam transmigrates into the American superhero world, joins S.H.I.E.L.D., and actually tries to play by the rules. Unfortunately, “don’t beat supervillains half to death” is apparently a policy. One over-the-top takedown later, he’s fired for “excessive force” and escorted out with a cardboard box and a pissed-off attitude. And that’s when his system finally kicks in. Villain Achievement: Ten Thousand Times Critical Hit System activated. Translation? Helping bad guys makes him stupidly powerful. He casually helps Sandman slip out of Spider-Man’s grip—boom, reward. Gives Loki just enough backup to smack Thor around—boom, bigger reward. Shields Vulture from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s harassment so the guy can tinker with salvaged Chitauri junk—massive reward. Every time a villain wins, Liam levels the hell up. Black Widow corners him, fuming. “You’re the asshole who helped my sister beat me?” Iron Man kneels in the rubble after getting absolutely wrecked by an absurdly overpowered Whiplash. “That’s… that’s not how physics works.” Meanwhile, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. stares at a classified file in disbelief. “We fired you… and now you’re a senior executive in S.H.I.E.L.D.—why does this say Hydra?” Liam didn’t go evil. He just realized something hilarious. If the heroes won’t appreciate him… the villains sure as hell will.
