History FanFic / UltimateSleepwalker

* UnstoppableRage: Sleepwalker suffers from this whenever he fights Psyko. Although Psyko is much more powerful than Sleepwalker, the sheer anger and hatred Sleepwalker feels for the monster allows him allowing them to push his powers up a notch and take the kind of punishment you'd expect more from {{Wolverine}} or The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. It has a distinct downside in that Sleepwalker is typically so exhausted after such a battle that he can't emerge from Rick's mind for a few days until he recovers.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Ruckus, a member of the Nasty Boys, has this as his mutant power. Sleepwalker later fights Screaming Mimi, who's this trope turned UpToEleven. The Green Goblin has a case of Make Me Wanna Laugh, as the "lunatic laugh" employed by Phil Urich in the comics is used by Norman Osborn here.

** One of the thugs who [[spoiler:mugs Rick in issue #75]] gets this reaction when Sleepwalker emerges, traps him with his warp vision, and is completely unfazed by the thug's attempt to shoot him. It goes UpToEleven when Sleepwalker threatens to ''[[spoiler:peel the thug's flesh right off his bones with his warp vision.]]''

* FiveManBand: Rick and his friends have become this with [[spoiler:Cyrus's death]]:
** TheHero: Rick.

** TeamPet: Alyssa's dog Rambo.

Based on the [[ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}} Marvel Comics series of the same name]] created by Bob Budiansky, ''Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams'' is a FanFic series set on Earth-2706, an alternate take on the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. Written by [[Tropers/GordonSchumway JaredMilne1982]], this series is one of the very few on the whole Internet that focuses on this obscure but (in many minds) vastly underrated character.

* DisposableSexWorker: Sally Floyd (yes, ''[[Comicbook/CivilWar that]]'' [[Comicbook/CivilWar Sally Floyd]]) appears as a strung-out hooker who is easily murdered by UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.

* DwindlingParty: The X-Men fall victim to this trope when they and Sleepwalker penetrate Kevin [=MacTaggart=]'s nightmare reality. Jubilee and Gambit are killed by the Marauders, {{Wolverine}} and Colossus die when their minds are destroyed by their worst fears, Cyclops dies in a fight with one of the demonic creatures of the Mindscape, and Rogue performs a HeroicSacrifice to allow Jean Grey and Sleepwalker to reach the heart of the nightmare.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: According to WordOfGod, heroes like ComicBook/TheMightyThor, ComicBook/IronMan, Comicbook/DoctorStrange and ComicBook/TheAvengers are not based in New York City, which explains why they don't typically show up to deal with a lot of these threats. Another problem is the sheer number of supervillains as compared to the much smaller number of heroes, which means that most of the time every hero has his or her hands full with their own RoguesGallery.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: After 99 issues, eight Annuals and six Halloween Specials, this is bound to happen.

* AllAbusersAreMale: [[spoiler:'''NO. THEY. ARE. NOT.''' As a little boy, Bruce Banner was molested by his mother Rebecca. Readers of the original Hulk comics will know that in that version Rebecca was a victim and Brian Banner was the abuser. Since male on female domestic violence was already explored in Ultimate Spider-Woman, it was very deliberately inverted in this case to show that men can be victims of domestic violence too.]]

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: A male example of this trope occurs when [[spoiler:the MindRape Cyrus suffers at Cobweb's hands simply becomes too much for him to bear, and he's led to kill himself less than two days after Rick's birthday as a particularly depraved birthday present for Rick and Sleepwalker.]]

* LyricalSwap: When she sings her hypnotic concert to brainwash everyone who listens to it into her slaves, Lullaby uses Music/{{Britney Spears}}'s ''Hit Me Baby One More Time'' with some rewritten lyrics that centre around people obeying her.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In addition to being head of a worldwide crime syndicate, in this version the Kingpin is also head of the Roxxon corporation.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Mr. Hyde is a berserk homicidal lunatic with strength to match the Incredible Hulk, but he is always impeccably dressed in high-end gentleman's attire.
* BadGuyBar: The Bar With No Name is reimagined as a high-class establishment, open to both costumed supervillains and other sophisticated criminals, that doubles as a strip joint and brothel for flush criminals. The clientele know better than to cause trouble, since the Kingpin is the bar's owner.

* SixStudentClique: It's scary how much Jared followed this trope when he first wrote up Rick and his supporting cast. Rick is the "main character", Alyssa is "the pretty one", Julia is the "smart one", Red is "the muscle", Cyrus is "the quirk", while Kenny borrows elements from both "the wild one" and "the quirk", given his Cloudcuckoolander tendencies.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: The series heavily plays up Moon Knight as Marvel Comics' answer to Batman, emphasizing Moon Knight's AwesomenessByAnalysis skills and BadassNormal status. He's even known as the White Knight Detective.

* The CommissionerGordon: Captain George Stacy, head of the NYPD Organized Crime Unit, functions as this when Sleepwalker passes on useful information to the police that they can act on, but he can't.

This series was started in September 2006, and ended in December 2016 over a decade later. You can the complete series [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4628492/1/Ultimate_Sleepwalker_The_New_Dreams here]]. At 115 chapters, including 100 issues, eight Annuals, six Halloween Specials and one crossover, it'll take a significant a chunk of time to catch up-- but it's worth it for a well realised take on a cult character.

* BattleInTheCentreOfTheMind: [[spoiler:Sleepwalker and Sh'mballah fight within the mind of The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk]].

* LimitedSocialCircle: Rick mostly hangs out with his friends from high school, all of whom have also gone to Empire State University. Later averted as he becomes friends with [[SpiderMan Peter Parker]] and [[TheGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]].

* SeinfeldianConversation: The characters have several of these over the course of the series. Topics include everything from Series/{{Roseanne}}'s disastrous attempt at singing the national anthem at a baseball game to [[SpiderMan Peter Parker]]'s admiration of the Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev to Kenny and Rick describing just how much [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]] and Creator/JohnKricfalusi both suck.

* BattleInTheCentreOfTheMind: [[spoiler:Sleepwalker and Sh'mballah fight within the mind of TheIncredibleHulk]].

* CurbStompBattle: Sleepwalker ends up fighting TheIncredibleHulk in the third Halloween Special. No prizes for guessing who curbstomps who.

* EnergyAbsorption: Hellrazor has the power to absorb almost any kind of energy and use it to increase his strength and stamina. He can absorb everything from Sleepwalker's warp beams to the punches of the IncredibleHulk without being harmed.

* EvilCounterpart: Psyko is this to Sleepwalker, obviously. Sleepwalker also ends up fighting not only [[spoiler:TheIncredibleHulk, but the ''Hulk's'' Evil Counterpart, Mr. Hyde.]] Carrion arguably counts too, since he is part of a race of extradimensional creatures and have similar attires to the Sleepwalkers.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Denton Phelps was just a nobody, an insignificant nothing, when he volunteered for the Hellrazor Project. He became a nigh-invulnerable ImplacableMan who became one of the world's most deadly hired killers, even battling TheIncredibleHulk to a standstill.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Sleepwalker does this ''twice'', once to [[spoiler:TheIncredibleHulk and then again to Mr. Hyde. They both survive the experience.]]

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: TheIncredibleHulk, of course. An evil example is Mr. Hyde, whose already-frightening strength increases with his bloodlust, much as the Hulk's strength increases with his anger. Oh, and since he's naturally AxCrazy, Hyde is a machine of destruction who lacks what little restraint the Hulk has.

* ThematicRoguesGallery: Sleepwalker's rogues gallery doesn't really count as this trope, but the IncredibleHulk's does. Bruce Banner was forcibly turned into a monster against his will, but his enemies are people who voluntarily ''chose'' to become monsters.

* UnstoppableRage: Sleepwalker suffers from this whenever he fights Psyko. Although Psyko is much more powerful than Sleepwalker, the sheer anger and hatred Sleepwalker feels for the monster allows him allowing them to push his powers UpToEleven and take the kind of punishment you'd expect more from {{Wolverine}} or TheIncredibleHulk. It has a distinct downside in that Sleepwalker is typically so exhausted after such a battle that he can't emerge from Rick's mind for a few days until he recovers.
