Prompts: Henry Danger

[argentum_ls]

The binge watch continues, and now I have questions and prompts. Show spoilers should be assumed.

• Henry instinctively uses a Kid Danger move or tool in a situation where he is completely and totally—and must remain--Henry Hart. What now?



• After seeing the news footage of Kid Danger out fighting crime way after a normal kid's bedtime, a group of Concerned Parents starts to ask questions about the legal and ethical issues of a 13 year old being a superhero sidekick.



• Not knowing that Henry is Kid Danger, a hero from another town asks Henry to be his/her new sidekick. Meanwhile, a different hero begins trying to court Kid Danger to be his/her new sidekick. Neither of them are willing to take 'no' for an answer.



• While going though Henry’s room, Piper gets her hands on one of Schwoz’s inventions that allows her to have some kind of temporary superpower, e.g. the ability to stop time, telepathy, flying, etc.



• AU where Jasper passes the secret-keeping test in the first season. How does Henry's reveal go this time?



• Ray routinely has random people in the Man Cave. Schwoz has a standing invitation to have his whole extended family visit the Man Cave.


• Why is Ray so insistent that Henry not tell his friends or family where it is or invite them down?


• How is location security maintained with all the people Ray and Schwoz have visit, given that wiping people's memories is total and some of the people who are shown visiting do so multiple times over the years, and obviously with their memories in tact.


• How is Ray or Henry's identity a secret at all with all these people coming and going?



• AU where Piper saw the firebreathing. Now what?



• AU in which Schwoz is unable to reverse the effects of the densitizer, leaving Henry both indestructible and fire-breathing. How does Henry deal with this?



• Prior to learning Henry's secret, Jasper had witnessed a lot of inexplicable behavior from his best friend, such as Henry turning into a beast boy (Henry the Man-Beast) and Henry removing a turkey pan from the hot oven with his bare hands and eating a fly (Twin Henrys). What did he think of all this? How does he re-understand them after learning the secret?



• A party game involves everyone trying on/wearing Kid Danger masks. Henry knows that if he puts one on, he'll be immediately outed. Since he doesn't view leaving the party as an option, what can he do?



• Piper Danger


• AU where Ray hired her instead


• time travel gone wrong ends up with her in the suit instead of Henry


• situation where she has to fill in for Henry


• situation where she finds the gumballs and takes advantage of the opportunity


• bodyswap



• While out and about and in a position where he can’t get a refill, Henry runs out of gumballs.



• Henry uses the same phone as himself and as Kid Danger. What problems does this cause?



• In "Hour of Power," it becomes clear that Ray and Schwoz had been planning on giving Henry superpowers for some time.


• Why did they wait until now?


• Why did they choose Hyper Motility as the power?


• Why not other powers, or more powers?


• Likewise, if conferring superpowers is so easy (and cheap), why hasn’t Ray arranged for more powers for himself?


• And why didn’t they also give Charlotte and/or Jasper powers?


• It doesn’t seem like Jasper was in the loop on Henry getting powers. (Watching Henry fight Drex may have been the first time he really saw Henry fight, too.) What did Jasper think of all this? Did he think Henry had been holding out on him again?



• After gaining his Hyper Motility, Henry has trouble adjusting to his new speed/reflexes in ways that are almost disastrous. So Charlotte and Jasper devise and implement a series of "training exercises" for him that are very nearly more disastrous.



• While Henry and Jasper are at summer camp, a situation arises that Kid Danger could solve. Only, there's no way to justify Kid Danger showing up to the camp, so Henry has to figure out how to solve it as himself.



• After a couple disastrous dates, Henry is forced to go to Ray for some dating advice because having superpowers and a secret identity both create unique dating/intimacy issues that he can't discuss with anyone else. Ray hates every second of this and does everything he can think of to avoid the conversation.



• Tired of hearing Ray lust after his mother, Henry goes on a search for some other MILF to hook Ray up with. What Henry didn’t consider is that someone being a mom means she has kids, and now he has “step-siblings” to work around too.



• Ray apparently dates some women as Ray and some women as Captain Man. How does he decide which version of himself to use? Has he ever told any of his dates (besides Gwen) about the other identity?



• For a school assignment, Henry has to write a resume. The problem is: "superhero sidekick" isn't a job he can list, and his official job at Junk-N-Stuff never really had official duties.



• Alternative to above: Prompted by a school assignment, Henry writes a resume for Kid Danger and is impressed by all the skills he's learned as a sidekick--right up until he realizes that he can't brag about or capitalize on any of them because he has no way to explain where he learned them. Oh, and then he accidentally turns Kid Danger's resume in with his name on it.



• Something gets messed up with Ray's memory and he starts to believe that Jasper is Kid Danger. Now Jasper has to figure out how to fill the role and keep Ray's delusion from breaking while the others try to figure out how to fix the problem.



• AU wherein Henry and Ray are unable to stop Henry's dad from getting his new job in Bordertown, which results in the whole Hart family needing to move. What now?



• In "Broken Armed and Dangerous," Schwoz lets slip that Henry's parents have had their memories wiped at some point. What were the circumstances of this? Was Piper's memory also wiped? And why doesn't Henry know about it?



• AU where after "Broken Armed and Dangerous," Piper isn’t so quick to accept Henry’s "confession," so she sets out to find proof one way or the other.



• In light of learning her brother's secret, Piper re-evaluates whether she wants to stay president of the Man Fans.



• Piper continues to insist on being Henry's new superhero sidekick, so he makes a point of showing her all the unglamorous parts of the job. In the process, they learn some things about each other.



• Henry’s latest match on Rumblr is ... Bianca?



• AU where Henry accepts the Neighborville Mayor's offer to become their superhero.


• Does he change his name? He's not exactly Kid Danger anymore.


• What exactly is the function of the cheerleaders? What does Henry do with these four roommates?


• Do Charlotte, Jasper, and/or Piper change their plans to go with him? Why or why not?


• What kind of relationship does he form with Lil Dynomite? Is it anything like his relationship with Ray?


• What happens to his relationship with Ray?


• Does Kyle also move to Neighborville?



• How did Ray, Charlotte, and/or Jasper learn that Henry survived the blimp crash?



• Henry gets the chance to re-try all the powers he's ever had, one at a time, and decide which one, if any, he wants to keep. What does he choose, and why?



• Both Henry's dad and Ray get stupider as the show goes on. Why?



• Ray initiated purchase of the fake school so that "when Henry returns and begs for his job back..." what? He didn't know the four kids were going to acquire superpowers and require training, so what was his original intention for the school and for Henry?



• After 5 years of being a superhero comedy, the show ends with Henry, Charlotte, and Jasper going full cyberpunk.


• What adjustments to the genre do they have to make? What genre surprises do they run into?


• How do they crimefight without Ray's resources and Schwoz's brains? Where do they get their resources from? How do they fund/supply themselves?


• What are their new team dynamics and the realities of their new lives?


• Since they apparently eschew masks, does this mean they don't have "regular" lives? How does this work?


• Where did Charlotte get her cybernetic implants from and why did she choose to get them?



• Now that she's at college on her own and away from Swellview, Piper discovers that her brief time as part of superhero team has changed her perspective on a lot of things.


• If Tallahassee has a resident superhero, does Piper try to track him/her down to join that team? Does she succeed?


• If Tallahassee doesn't have a resident superhero, does Piper ever consider stepping up to the job? Why or why not?


• Do people know of Captain Man and Kid Danger here? What kind of reputations do they have? How does Piper deal with that?


• Does she suspect/accuse people of having secret identities because she's become overly sensitized to certain suspicious behaviors? Is she ever right?


• Does Tallahassee experience any of the same weirdnesses that Swellview does? How does Piper deal with the people whose weird-meter isn't as sensitized as hers is?



• Do Charlotte and Jasper's families know what their kids are doing in Dystopia? What do they think of their kids becoming superheroes, seemingly out of the blue?



• AU where after Henry quits being Kid Danger he settles into a life of being Henry Hart full time. When he thinks about it all, he considers growing up as a superhero sidekick to be a set of stories that are too bizarre to share with anyone. X amount of years later, something happens that forces him to face his past and consider how it shaped who he's become, and whom he will be.



• While Ray's indisposed for a few days, someone has to take over being Captain Man. That someone is Henry.
