History Fanfic / MaverickSolutions

* MythologyGag: Two of the weapons that War Machine and Ash use against [[spoiler:the Wild Sentinels]] are taken from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.

* BadassNormal: Ash has no superpowers, instead relying on various pieces of advanced tech or her [[PoweredArmor Crimson Dynamo Suit]].

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Ash puts everything she has into stopping the Wild Sentinel from reaching Genosha, even sacrificing her armor to sink it and just barely making it to shore... and the last thing she sees before passing out is its mangled but working form emerging from the sea, with nothing left between it and mutant genocide.]]

** Ash buys a [=StarkTech=]™ Model 2™ Mail Security System for Maverick Solutions, which scans, detects and disinfects mail placed in it, though unlike the Baxter Custom version, it won't say what was detected. Ash bought it in case of mind-controllers like the Mandrill, and soon comes to appreciate the security when she goes up against the Purple Man.

* ReedRichardsIsUseless:
** This fic provides a justification for the man himself; Reed Richards may design a lot of world-changing inventions, but he's also such a perfectionist that he personally product-tests all of his inventions until they're 200% safe before they even reach the mass production stage. In addition, he takes planned obsolescence as a personal insult, so he makes sure everything he produces lasts, and while this makes them a lot more expensive than [=StarkTech=], they're also magnitudes ahead in quality and lifespan. Also, Richards apparently takes bribes from the automotive industry to not mass-produce the Fantasticar and put them out of business... but also collaborates with smaller car companies in poorer regions to produce effective, affordable vehicles.
* ReformedCriminal: Most of Ash's employees are either supervillains or {{mooks}} who want to turn to go legit for one reason or another.

* WhamEpisode: Issue #15, [[spoiler:where Cassandra Nova launches her Wild Sentinels to enact the Genosha Massacre and despite the combined efforts of herself, War Machine, Ms. Marvel, The Vision and SWORD, Ash is [[InSpiteOfANail unable to stop them]], handing Ash her first major failure.]]

Ashling "Ash" Anderson is a perfectly ordinary woman from Earth-616. She's not a Mutant, or an Inhuman, or a secret Eternal, or a Half-Skrull, or anything like that. Her only real claim to fame? She's actually from another Earth entirely, and has been placed into the body of her much younger Marvel self with seemingly no cause. So, when placed in this world of Heroes and Villains, what does she do?

Her first recruits? Long-Time Franchise/SpiderMan foes Rhino and Shocker

** The same applies to The Shocker, who, outside of his suit and gauntlets, is just a [[GadgeteerGenius skilled engineer]]

** [[ComicBook/JessicaJones Zebidiah Killgrave]] aka [[SelfDemonstrating/PurpleMan The Purple Man]] is an utterly deranged Mind Controller with absolutely no moral qualms about using his powers for whatever he wants. Every time he's brought up after [[spoiler:his [[BoomHeadshot death at Ash's hands]]]], it just reinforces how much of an awful person he was.
* HeroicLineage: Ash Anderson is the granddaughter of Phineas Horton, who is the creator of the WWII Human Torch (Jim Hammond), who in turn is legally Ash's uncle. She is also the sister of Victoria Anderson, who only appears in the limited series ''Avengers Icons: The Vision''.
* InSpiteOfANail: [[spoiler:Despite Ash's best efforts to stop the Wild Sentinels, the Genosha Massacre still occurs, though more people do survive.]]

* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Shocker calls in Spider-Man's ''entire'' rogues gallery (aka the Sinister Syndicate) to gang up on Morlun to stop him from killing Spider-Man.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Norman Osborn was caught by the authorities due to Spider-Man while he was hiding in Europe, thus leaving the Kingpin to extend his reach to Europe's criminal underworld by allying with the Brotherhood of the Scriers.

* MythologyGag: Two of the weapons that War Machine and Ash using against [[spoiler:the Wild Sentinels]] are taken from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.

* BadassNormal: Ash has no superpowers, instead relying on various pieces of supertech or her [[{{Powered Armor}} Crimson Dynamo Suit]].
** The same applies to The Shocker, who, outside of his suit and gauntlets, is just a [[{{GadgeteerGenius}} skilled engineer]]

** A certain [[{{Franchise/GIJoe}} Old Snake]] is mentioned by Kingpin as being up for hire.
** While they haven't shown up on screen, there have been blatant references to the presence of the [[{{Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles}} TMNT]], with an AOL User In-Universe referencing [[{{WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003}} Stocktronics and the MOUSERs]] specifically.

* GoldfishPoopGang: The "Fearsome Five" are a team of would-be Supervillains who act as Maverick Solutions' [[StarterVillain first foes]] when they attack the F.E.A.S.T. Shelter in an attempt to find a stash of mafia cash, only to be handily defeated. Later on, they show up again doing the same thing at a Bodega close to the Maverick Offices. They include:
** Toastmaster, the team leader, who uses an AIM [[{{PlasmaCannon}} Rifle]] he jury-rigged, which explodes after it's first use, before upgrading to a more generic gun of similar type
** Droid-Man, an overly cocky bruiser wearing an outdated suit of [[{{PoweredArmor}} Mandroid Armor]]
** Odachi, the sole female member of the team, who uses an [[{{KatanasAreJustBetter}} Energized Katana]] she bought via mail order
** Jerry the Breaker, the somewhat [[{{DumbMuscle}} Dim-Witted]] and hammer-wielding muscle with some kind of [[{{SuperStrength}} enhanced strength and durability]]
** Mister Roboto, a generic [[{{MechaMooks}} humanoid robot]] who has a bad habit of [[{{AnArmAndALeg}} losing his limbs during fights]]

** [[ComicBook/JessicaJones Zebidiah Killgrave]] aka [[SelfDemonstrating/PurpleMan The Purple Man]] is an utterly deranged Mind Controller with absolutely no moral qualms about using his powers for whatever he wants. Every time he's brought up after his [[BoomHeadshot death at Ash's hands]], it just reinforces how much of an awful person he was.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: Ash's Crimson Dynamo armor is made out of Carbonadium Matrix Alloy, a material almost as tough as Adamantium, which also puts off radiation that [[PowerNullifier negates]] {{Healing Factor}}s. However, it has its limits, as shown in [[spoiler:her fight with [[ImplacableMan Morlun]]]] , since it can only prevent biological healing factors, not more esoteric ones.

* RetiredMonster: [[spoiler:Ronald Ryan, father and manager of Becky Ryan, turns out to have formerly been heavily involved in the Maggia, specifically the Nefaria Family's Human Trafficking Business.]]

* JokerImmunity: Discussed. Ash’s personal justification for not killing Carnage, despite really wanting to, is that A-list villains like him never stay dead. If she killed him, it’s simply be a matter of when he’d come back rather than if. At least with him in prison she’ll be able to know the exact instant he escapes.

* CanonWelding: The author have selected certain properties published by Marvel into the story:

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Absolutely nobody in the entire world who is sad about [[spoiler:Kilgrave’s]] death with the general opinion being “Thank God he’s dead”. After his death Ash’s office gets flooded with gift baskets from people thanking her for getting rid of him.

Why, open a business of course! A business that happens to offer legitimate jobs to Supervillains who want to get legitimate paying work, so long as they haven't attempted genocide, mass murder, or destruction of the planet while not under duress.
