Absolute zzz?
Just thought of a potentially fun thought experiment and wanted to hear what other people think? Basically, if you had to write an alt timeline for a character in the cast using the "take something previously foundational to the character away method" seem in the absolute lines of DC (I.e bruce Wayne didn't come from a wealthy background, Kal El spent years on krypton and watched it's destruction rather than just being sent to earth as a baby, Diana and wasn't raised by hypolita in themiscrya, but by circe in hell) what do you think would be the most interesting?
The first example of this that came to my mind that sparked the idea for this post was an Absolute Trigger. With the thing that is taken away being the death of her squad, but while they all managed to make it out alive, the rest of the squad was even more crippled than trigger was. The fact they lived meant the insurance payout from the military wasn't as large, so trigger, feeling a need to help her squad and their families, turns to being a hollow raider to bring in extra denny.
What you y'all think of this? Again, I'd also be interested in seeing what other ideas people might have for this method.
