Hello all, Bruce "Meta Hunter" Wallaby here, and once again I’m proud as a bloody proud thing that the fine people here at the World Paranormal Review have invited me to share yet another of my Meta Adventure Reports with you!
This week’s report is on that famed hacker and smasher, the absolutely Shocking Henry!
Here's old Henry in his ful battle gear! Fancy, eh?
Handsome fellah, eh? Now I first saw old Henry just under a year ago, when I, the Meta-Hunter himself, was a target of one of Henry’s schemes!
You see, Henry is a meta-mercenary, and not quite the type you may be used to! While other metahumans for hire tend to specialize in blowing things up or burning them down, Shocking Henry is an information thief for hire, and one of the best on the planet!
Now in July of 2004, I, your humble host, had managed to get some amazing photographs of the well known super-heroine Solaria, fighting the Sacred Brotherhood above the streets of
The very beautiful and mighty touchy Solaria, Mistress of the Solar Winds!
Now I, being a gentleman, assured Solaria that I’d never reveal those absolutely lovely pictures to the public! Remember kids, metahuman crime fighters deserve our support, especially the ones who are powerful enough to burn us to crisps if we should piss them off, eh?
Still, what should I see a few days later I returned to my studio than the amazing Shocking Henry, sitting in my lobby just as bold as you please, a smile on his face and energy crackling from his eyes. Now, your friend Bruce Wallaby is no newbie to the world of meta-espionage, but here was a chance for an interview, and I was going to take it! Me and Henry had a few drinks, talked, and had a fine time. I thought it would make for one wowser of a report! Then, low and behold, when I checked my computers, I found that all of my copies of the Solaria pick had been deleted, along with my back-ups! This despite the best data security money could buy! Let me tell you, that Shocking Henry is one fine hacker, and I don’t mind saying so!
As to what I learned about Henry, here’s the skinny! Shocking Henry claims to be from a parallel Earth, one with no metahumans at all! Says that he found a strange machine, an inter-dimensional thing-a-me-bob, and ended up getting stranded in our world!
When he found himself here, he also found himself in that amazing metal-man form of his, leaving him stronger, faster, and much tougher than any normal human! Add to that his incredible power to control machines and almost any form of energy, and Shocking Henry may be one of the most powerful metahumans in the game! I felt quite privileged to be targeted by him.
So, if you see a silver man smiling in your lobby, buy the bloke a drink! He’s a hell of a guy! Just check your data afterwards, eh?
Thank you one and all! Until next time, this is Bruce Wallaby, the Meta-Hunter! Be seeing you!
