anyways. my au. i've been thinking about it and i realized i could make it way worse. so, here it goes. what if i made 035 powerless a different way? this is going to be long, so bear with me.

the concept that attracts me more than the human au, gives him a slay design, and makes it so he's very recognizable! ignore the style change

so, basically, the concept is that about two weeks after the 035 sedition tapes, 035 convinces a junior researcher to put him on during the thing where they switch out the glass case (sorry grammar is not my strong suit) and a guard immediately smacks 035 over the head with the old glass case (roughly 20~ lbs. of glass). on the left side (035's left) of his head. he experiences a hairline fracture to his skull, an epidural hematoma, and a serious concussion after falling unconscious for a few minutes (3-ish minutes). oh, and a piece of the mask flies off. the trauma of the physical injury causes him to fuse to the host's face, and now he has a body! and no powers, because he's in survival mode. as a treat.

to save him, they perform emergency surgery, replace part of his skull with a titanium plate (hence the right side of his head (your right) having shorter, choppy hair) and put him on fluids and a feeding tube. he also still oozes the corrosive fluid, although now it doesn't burn his host. it does burn the people who touch it.
