Thank you!!!!! 🙂

I made a post idk how long ago but it explains that you would still have to choose between him and Phenomaman because since there is a gap in the team you can choose a file of a new villain or choose Phen based on who you'd rather take a chance with. If you ended up not choosing Waterboy he would stay in prison.

You would not have the chance to meet him either except through his file. If he knew that he was considered for the program and rejected he'd be depressed because he has to continue serving time so to not get his hopes up they don't let him know until he's accepted.

Like they vibe with each other because they are both evil divas but they quietly compete with each other a lot. Look at how Prism laughed loudly when golem and waterboy or malevola shield Robert 😭. I think she was the only other person who knew about his past with him and still did that because she was surprised he didn't kill Robert in the parking lot if I'm remembering correctly.

Or how quickly she flips on people like her being cool with coupé one minute and then calling her a butter knife bitch the next💀.

He knows of him. Knows he's huge and could kill him with his pinky finger, so he avoids him like he avoids any other hero (extra). He thinks SDN is a menace and the heroes that they deploy are pretty stupid, except the exceptionally powerful ones like Phenomeman and Blonde Blazer. Seeing billboards and advertisements of them everywhere annoys him and he gets a little paranoid like they can see the crimes he commits.

He works alone and in secret, so until he's eventually caught and imprisoned most of the z-team don't know about his existence except for massive puddles full of blood at crime scenes. He considers himself lucky not to come across them.

When he joins the Z-team and meets Phenomaman, he's nervous that he knows about his past and he'll treat him badly because of it. When Phenomaman doesn't, he's extremely relieved. He actually comes to spend time and enjoy him more than most of the other members because of how weird and genuine he is. Other people find waterboy odd (and he is) so he can relate. Phenomaman is puzzled at first by his actions and his strange behavior but accepts it as normal for humans. He even copies some of them thinking it will help him assimilate to humanity quicker, until Robert has the heart to tell him it's not and it's scaring people.

So, Waterboy goes along with it and has a little fun teasing him when he knows he won't understand what he means. They are somewhere between acquaintances and friends in the end and that works for Herman because he wants to get on the good side of a guy that's as powerful as he.

I didn't see this earlier! But yes... LET IT SPREAD 😈

Waterboy after Robert sends him on missions that have less than a 6 percent success rate and he still clutches:

(uncovered version below)

Knowing this it seems natural that Chase would fill in the spot left open by Robert's dad as his big brother. And even when Robert leaves and then re-enters his life, Chase just goes back to that same place like he never left. In a sense he's relieving those years again even if Robert is grown and doesn't need that much guidance anymore.

So, if you look at it in that light it makes a bit more sense why Chase is extremely wary of invisigal and is trying to protect Robert from the perceived threat.
