The Outcasts

The Outcasts are a ragtag group of superhumans from different multiverses. They are lead by the Guide, an all-powerful interdimensional being who experiences multiple realities at once. They have been called by him from their home dimensions to halt the menace known as MC HERO, and to do this, they travel from universe to universe, collecting artifacts that have all sorts of powers, ranging from resurrection, mind control, and many other things. They have a very dysfunctional group dynamic, with Rick recovering from being killed in his first appearance, Pro worrying about his stocks, Shift being disrespected by everyone,, which he returns to Pro, and the Guide's apathy towards the conditions he puts the group in and his frustrations with their failures. As a result, despite each member being very powerful, it normally takes them a lot of effort and at least a few tries to defeat their enemies and obtain the artifacts.

Guide (Leader)

Rick Diamond (Sub-commander, Weapons Specialist and Detective)

Pro (Pyrotechnics and Demolitions expert, Arsonist, and Rich Jerk)

Shift (Shapeshifter, Guinea Pig, punching bag)/Texplode (Alternate persona of Shift, Cowboy with a shotgun and combustion powers)

Character History

Outcasts: Episode 1

The Outcasts were formed shortly after the events of Into the Multiverse Part 3, after MC HERO obtained all 6 of the Hero souls. Guide called in 3 superhumans from different earths: Rick Diamond, the former Chief Detective at Silver City Police Department, King Pro, British CEO of Cat Toys, Dog Toilets, and Dasani Water, and Shift, a mysterious yet lazy shapeshifter. Guide explains to them that they have been assembled to gather Artifacts, tokens of immense power, in order to combat the Menace known as MC Hero. The 3 are still very confused, but Guide leaves them anyway. Soon, they are apporahced by Arbys CEO, who tricks Shift into wearing his mind-control glasses, and eventually gets Rick and Pro to wear them as well. A passage of 6 months is shown, in which the 3 are subjected to terrible conditions, working 40 hour shifts, no pay. Finally Rick has enough and stands up to the CEO, getting him shot. Pro then realizes that since Rick is in between worlds, he can't die. Rick then wrests his gun from the CEO and shoots him. They take the CEO's glasses and celebrate with a high five, before realizing that the CEO has escaped. Guide is then seen yelling at the CEO for his money.

Outcasts Ep 2. Multiverse Manhunt

The Outcasts arrive on earth -2, which takes place in Russia in 1952. Shift molds into an efficient cold-resistant model while Pro and Rick complain about the cold. They spend some time waiting for the Guide, who finally shows up and tells them their mission, to find the artifact, which is associated with the ex-KGB Agent known now as Snowblind, who still traverses the snowy landscape to this day. Guide then teleports to the Bahamas leaving the Outcasts to search for clues. Rick suggests they split up, and goes off, getting knocked out by an unseen enemy while Shift and Pro examine the abandoned Bunker. Pro finds himself unable to use his fire abilities, and the two are forced to abandon the bunker to avoid an incoming snowstorm. Shift suggests they start looking for Snowblind, but Pro struggles to keep up. Snowblind emerges from around a corner, and Shift, eager to get out of the cold, tries to take the artifact, which is in the form of Snowblind's blindfold. Snowblind, however, who doesn't go down easy, freezes Pro and blinds Shift, who quickly shifts himself a new set of eyes. Shift, noticing Snowblind has Rick's gun, demands the artifact and tells him to free Pro. Snowblind refuses and tosses an ice bomb at Shift, who gets distracted long enough for Snowblind to escape. Guide shows up to help free Pro, and sends the two off to find the the artifact.

The Final Crimes of MC HERO

Shift, as Texplode, thought dead in the last episode, is given a boost by Tumie which melds the squid with Texplode's hat, gets rid of his exploding powers, but gives him a shotgun. Texplode, now the last of the Outcasts, teams up with Dr. Factor, Showman, and Beta Cuck in a final last ditch effort to stop MC HERO once and for all. Texplode is killed by MC HERO during the first assault, and Tumie, now not strong enough to survive without a host, dies as well. The Outcasts would ultimately fail in their mission, as MC HERO succeeds in destroying the multiverse. As Showman and Villain are enveloped by the wave and destroyed, Guide is the last one seen, devastated as the world he knew is slowly turned into a dark, unfamiliar, and lonely landscape.
