Gully/Beanie

She was the only one who spoke privately with the parents that dropped this thing off. A drone from a far species and a woman that didn't know an egg could come from whatever they were doing. They needed a way to remove it without killing her, and somehow they ended up at the Superhuman Child Services division. Luckily so. The drone that brought it had a hard shell, and claimed that their child would be even more resilient as long as they "didn't watch it". She runs some tests and finds the same opportunity Cecil trusts her enough to start up "Project: BoyInfinity". The creation of a weapon that could hopefully catch up to, outlast, and (at least) detain a viltrumite, something they were sure they could do with enhancements or drugs if nature wasn't enough. As well as the creation of a hero the public could gnaw on when their number one hero goes awry. An insane plan B is better than no plan at all.

In the main timeline, Edwin is an earth "vigilante" whose life doesn't intersect with invincible's (In some he even goes up against him.) . Part from some few other physical differences, Eddy differs from Edwin in that matter. Earth was taken over by the viltrumites and staying hidden was useless, so Eddy was found and eventually killed. Except he kept turning up. No matter how many times Stripe killed him, who killed him, or how quickly. The minute the body was out of sight, he would turn up again more resilient than the last. Instead of wasting time, the empire kept him as a soldier, taking advantage of his strange ability to take advantage of others' perception. In return they wouldn't torture him for the rest of eternity. Although, dying repetitively to conquer other planets sounds like the same shit. In the meantime he tried sucking up to the "Emperor" (Mark) with displays of violence.
