“They’re lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal.”
Raptor chick concept art by Mark McCreery.
Do you think Metro Man could break a brainbot if he tried?
I think Metro Man could break the world if he tried. Or at least come very close.
Metro Man’s powers are terrifying. Megamind knows this, and builds his brainbots accordingly, designing them for optimum safety.
The glass braincases, which contain the organic and cybernetic brains, are as close to indestructible as Megamind can make them, while the limbs and jaws are designed to break off with relative ease. Metro Man can disable the bots relatively easily, so it’s not really worth the extra effort that actually destroying them would require. And the brainbots don’t feel pain. Which is also by design. So Megamind simply goes back after the battles and collects any injured bots, or has some of the other bots do so, takes them back to the Lair, then repairs them.
Which is why Megamind does throw the dynamite at them in the film; he still doesn’t like doing it it, but he knows they won’t be hurt or permanently damaged.
The thing with the bots’ limbs coming off easily is all part of the supervillain smoke and mirrors–Megamind actually does something like that for himself, too: his capes tear away from his mantle easily, so anyone grabbing hold of them during a fight ends up with with a cape and nothing else, and Megamind slips away.
Like with Titan, in the film–Titan is gripping The Black Mamba robes; Megamind needs to get away, so he presses the emergency eject button on the giant robot, which catapults him out of the robot–and Titan is left with nothing but empty robes in his hand.
you just took one look at megamind and went “hi this is mine now” and made it your own didnt you
LOLOL I fell in love with the movie and was like I’M GONNA NEED SOME MORE OF THIS
but when I ran out of official content THE CRAVING WAS NOT SATISFIED
and then I ran out of fan content and THE CRAVING WAS STILL NOT SATISFIED, so I was I was like
FINE OKAY I’LL WRITE JUST ONE FIC, JUST A ONE-SHOT, which–
And then it all just

“What self-respecting supervillain can’t play the electric guitar?” -Megamind, probably
Megamind, definitely!
I think this message might be what gave me the idea for that scene in Gravitational Equations For Falling, where Megamind is fidgeting in his prison chair, moving his hands like he’s going through guitar chords. I really like the idea of him being casually good at music!
Do you think Mega’s first Celebrity crush would be Bill Nye the science guy?
LOL I’m sure he admires him! I tend to base Megamind’s experiences of romance/sexuality on my own (ace spectrum) experiences, though, and I don’t really get celebrity crushes? At least in the way people usually describe celebrity crushes. Admiration, yes, enjoyment of watching them, yes, but–oh, I don’t know. Even fictional characters, the ones I like best, I’m more likely to fantasize about being them, rather than fantasizing about spending time with them myself.
Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful wonder that was your birthday month fics, and that I can’t wait to see what’s next. Not that I think you need more ideas or anything, but one popped into my head and your Stay (don’t stray) made me think you’d like it: Roxanne always calls Megamind sweetheart, but only off-camera when it’s just the two of them (and minion). He thinks it’s her trying to be the Temptress and get in his head, but after the movie events she reveals it’s not true.
Thank you so much! (it obviously took me a while to answer this lol but!) I really like this prompt, and I will for sure save it!
