💫Loonatics unleashed: Nextatics✨️
"Every generation needs heroes. Some just have to find their own path first."
The Nextatics are a young hero team operating alongside the Loonatics in Acmetropolis. Originally formed by a group of individuals struggling to find their place in the world, the Nextatics eventually became a recognized hero team in their own right.
Unlike the Loonatics, who are established heroes descended from legendary figures, the Nextatics are made up of heroes who often lived in someone else's shadow—whether that be family expectations, past mistakes, personal insecurities, or difficult histories.
Though they began as sidekicks and trainees, they eventually proved themselves worthy of standing beside their heroes rather than behind them.
Team Leader
Blaik Inkveil
The Ink Doctor
A former villain and brilliant scientist who once sought revenge against the world that abandoned him. After reconciling with his twin brother and confronting his past, Blaik slowly transformed into a hero.
Despite denying it repeatedly, Blaik naturally became the leader of the Nextatics. He listens to every member's opinions, puts the team's safety above his own, and takes responsibility whenever things go wrong.
His teammates often joke that he became a leader before realizing he was acting like one.

Lexi Bunny often acts as the team's emotional advisor.
Tech E. Coyote frequently exchanges scientific knowledge with Blaik.
Rev Runner treats the entire team like friends from day one.

Team Motto
"We aren't here to replace the heroes who came before us. We're here to become heroes in our own way."
