BRAIN ATTACK Stringer

I’ve waited nine years for this moment…

For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.

Until today…

With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a customized electric guitar which emits powerful sound blasts when played. He has the Breakout speaker addons and a back-mounted speaker for maximum amplification. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.

I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets: - Melee weapons - Silver or Gunmetal secondary color - Transparent armor piece - Hero Core Clamp and Visor

This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!

Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.

Right after Robert leaves Sharon's bedroom, Rubberband Man (quickly reverting to his Stringer appearance via his powers) shows up to say goodbye to Sharon as he wants to leave town. Sharon counters that he could do the remaining few months so that he doesn't have to continually evade law enforcement. While her view can be viewed as naïve, Sharon isn't wrong that by leaving, Stringer would only be making any eventual consequences worse for himself, even if it's 'just' the increasing stress of waiting to be found out.

Stringer admits that he broke out because he received mistreatment in the prison due to his metahuman status. His line of "everyone's against you" might be implying that he faced challenges from both fellow inmates and prison staff. Though I'm wondering if he's holding back another reason for him to be singled out, or if the show hadn't thought of an upcoming plot thread at this point.

Yay, the landline's back in place! Ahem. Sharon calls her dad to get his help in figuring out a safer way for Stringer to turn himself in.

Robert is frazzled, to put it mildly, but agrees to help. Unfortunately, none of them are aware that Puff and Onyx have been eavesdropping in a van. Onyx says that they borrowed it, but I am concerned that Puff lied to him.

When Virgil and Richie show up unexpectedly, Rubberband Man turns into a vacuum because he and Sharon don't want to risk them calling the cops before Robert can set up the deal. Virgil tries to apologize but Sharon hastily leaves with the 'vacuum'. The two guys are bemused by this.

In the living room, Rubberband Man turns into a chair that Virgil sits in, which quickly results in Rubberband Man revealing himself. It probably would have helped if Sharon acknowledged that her help involved getting a peaceful turning in, but given Virgil's upset reaction I can get why she didn't go into detail before she was interrupted by the doorbell. A disguised Puff is there, and things rapidly get out of control as seen below.

I really hope Robert has excellent house insurance.

Amidst the climatic battle of "Bent Out of Shape", Sharon and Rubberband Man do have a cute moment about how she's his reason to be careful. This could rapidly turn into a concerning 'morality pet' situation depending on how the show handles their relationship, but it also isn't necessarily wrong to want to be better for someone as a starting point when someone doesn't see the point of being better for their own sake, which is where I suspect Stringer was. I'm also cutting him some slack because of what I know will be established about what his previous 'support network' was like and how that likely skewed his perspective on a lot of things. I was slightly tempted to use his 'real name' on this episode's posts, but I decided that'd be a bit too confusing as that hasn't been revealed yet either.

I do like how Static tricks Puff into destroying the support beams of some bleachers in order to defeat her. There's a reminder that Static and Rubberband Man still hold a grudge against each other before Sharon shows up, making them both agree to put it on 'pause' for the time being. Rubberband Man brings up digging out Puff and Onyx, with Static noting that's "how good guys do things".

The episode ends with Robert letting his kids know that Stringer will be going to a different prison and will be out in months if things go well. Again: this is a kids' show made in the early 2000s, I'm not expecting it to align with current perspectives.

James Wilby as Stringer in Film Consipracy(1989)

"....Conspiracy gives me something for the CV which shows the breadth of parts I'm capable of playing...I'd love to play all sorts of different roles, not just sensitive souls." -interview in March, 1990

[oscarwetnwilde]

Daily News - Thursday, 14 December 1989:

Wilby's new film, Conspiracy, tells a chilling story of political and sexual perversion. And it's a dramatic change of mood for the handsome young star last seen as Diana Rigg's darling son in Mother Love on BBC.

Wilby plays Stringer, a member of Britain's secret security forces, who's prepared to bribe policemen and murder politicians in order to preserve the British establishment.

"He's the nastiest character I've ever played," says Wilby. "In a way that was the attraction-I've never played anyone completely amoral before. Stringer's prepared to do anything which achieves what he's after."

And Wilby has a genuine commitment to the message of Conspiracy. "I hope people will be disturbed by the film and realise what may be going in Government. The film's set in ten year's time but it's a way of talking about what's happening now."
