Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* OutsideContextProblem: What makes him stand out more when compared to Grandis or Chronicler is the fact like the two of them, Mirror M is this trope, but he's amplified UpToEleven about it because Mirror M has the distinction of being a HumanoidAbomination who is only truly an antagonist once, ends up undergoing a very gradual HeelFaceTurn in which he develops a protective behavior and fondness for Yumi's younger brother Hiroki, in which Mirror M goes through quite a few problems with his initial ReformedButNotTamed behavior around the other characters; by this point he's now technically a protagonist, but more along the lines of the TokenEvilTeammate at the time he first begins to undergo his HeelFaceTurn.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of the Indoraptor, and it's relation to Maisie from ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom''. Indoraptor was created to be a weapon but was not properly raised and thus developed psychotic, murderous behavior. Mirror M was created to be a weapon as well, but his surrogate father and mother grew too attached to him and proceeded to raise him in isolation with his sister in the Alps, thus causing Mirror M's psychotic tendencies that show up later simply being the result of him learning fairly early in his life that in the wilderness of the Alps, he is flat out an apex predator and often assists Franz with hunting and heavy lifting around the household to sustain the whole family. In the light of the results, Mirror M was raised in equality with Aelita, thus allowing them to have a loving brother and sister type of bond, but Indoraptor and Maisie never developed such a connection, as neither of them are related by blood even though both are the products of genetic engineering. When Indoraptor and Mirror M are fully matured and wind up awakening in response to their sibling later down the road, Indoraptor is flat out trying to kill Maisie, but Mirror M on the other hand is trying to protect Aelita. Also worth noting that Mirror M, even with the psychotic tendencies he develops, is vastly more civilized about it and keeps himself in check unlike the unhinged Indoraptor.

** Mirror M actually didn't start off this way. Sort of. He had ''small'' amounts of radiation immunity at first, but ever since he broke containment in TheFifties and was carpet bombed with 100 full power Tsar Bomba tier nuclear warheads, he went into a coma for about 10 years underneath the sea water, ice, and a crap ton of radiation keeping him down. Mirror M ''claims'' the only reason he didn't immediately get back up was because his ears were ringing to no end for the entirety of said 10 years, and that as his hearing was effectively destroyed for a good while, he had accidentally developed a gradual immunity to radiation completely in the time it took him to regain his hearing and realize he was even still alive in the first place.
** Radiation eventually became a way for him to heal from stronger wounds on his person as a whole because of this. According to urban legend he was drawn to Chernobyl like a moth to a flame upon the detection the creation of the immediate formation of the Elephant's Foot, that he dropped what he was doing and made a beeline straight for Chernobyl to investigate. After which he was photographed years after the fact as having been ''lying next to it'' in complete dormancy, apparently using it's highly radioactive nature to help him heal the wounds he still had from the Antarctica incident.

* BodyHorror: Elaborated in-depth below, but one thing across all forms is consistent; he has no tongue... or at least nothing that can be recognized as a tongue right away.
** Phase 1 is perhaps the most tame, aside from being the one form most associated with the aforementioned twitching. Much of the time, it's not too noticeable, but when Mirror M begins to lose control, he looks utterly ''psychotic'' even when he's not trying to be. Mirror M in this form, as well as his other forms, have jaws that can unhinge similar to a snake's except make his jaws appear to be like mandibles in shape. Mirror M has also been prone to tear out his own spines on his back to dislodge and use as makeshift throwing weapons.
** Phase 2 seems to be the most tame in appearance, considering it actually looks somewhat normal in appearance... until you get an even larger version of the aforementioned unhinging jaw that Mirror M has in all forms, which actually unhinges in such a way that actually exposes a ''second'' lower jaw underneath the exterior lower jaw. Phase 3 one ups this by having ''a third set of nested jaws.''
** Phase 3 is a muscular anatomy nightmare; his muscles are far too big in certain aspects of his body due to the belief that the experiments he's required for required impossibly buff arms to the point his torso appears too small to realistically hold them. Not that he can't also increase the size of his torso, but every time he's tried, the entire form crystallizes before suddenly shattering into a gigantic mass of blood and gore with Mirror M Phase 1 at the center of it passed out. Whatever it does to his heart when trying to increase the muscle mass on his torso is unknown, but Mirror M is actively panicking in the aftermath once he awakes.
** Phase 1 Mirror M can actually skip right to Phase 3 Mirror M, and in the process becomes a gigantic blob of self-expanding muscle, tissue, bone, among other particles, before rebuilding itself like a clay sculpture into the form of Phase 3 Mirror M, with his head generating itself as the last step. Often times some of his limbs are mismatched near the final touches, meaning his misplaced limbs forcefully spin around in ways that are otherwise impossible before the transformation is complete.

! Omega Platinum, the Mythical Warrior

A breathtakingly beautiful and immensely powerful Ultimorian Deity of the ancient past, preceding the creation of many of the modern day Ultimorian Deities by a long shot. A far cry from his mortal reincarnation of a clone, Omega Platinum's intelligence is unquestioned, but a different personality lies within Mirror M's cells from which Omega Platinum lies dormant. Originally having existed while the Earth was within the Hadean Era, a fierce battle against Ultima and Dragora Galaxia left Omega Platinum for dead and his blood spilt across the Sol system, and with it, the devastating results of his divine blood touching the still young planets in the system. Mercury's orbit would be rendered somewhat off, Venus' biosphere would be completely destroyed, and Earth's biosphere would actually be born in a violent mixture of a chaotic wasteland being forged from Omega Platinum's spilt blood. Remnants of Omega Platinum's blood survived as fossilized fragments, recently having been found inland across Antarctica, where a scientist known as "Franz" would discover them. Omega Platinum's consciousness had survived for billions of years without anyone even knowing, and used the last of his divine energy to gift Franz the knowledge of Enlightenment as a blessing upon seeing the nobility within Franz' soul.

Franz, both heartfelt and horrified by what he had discovered, began the creation of many things in his life that would reshape the entire world as everyone knew it. Franz was a nobody who couldn't fulfill his goal in life that any typical human man could ever accomplish; infertile, poor, and just being an errand boy for whomever is of greater power, Franz secretly began to work on a laboratory from which he intends to stay as far away from civilization as possible within France. In the process, Franz created a haven for beings like himself who have been blessed supernatural abilities through Omega Platinum's actions. Two specific creations would bare a blood relation to Omega Platinum. The first, and older, of the two would be Mirror M, reconstructed from various animal and human DNA samples based off of what Franz could understand of trying to recreate Omega Platinum's DNA sequence. The youngest, a young, pink haired girl known as "Aelita", who would serve as the daughter which Franz couldn't have had otherwise. The difference, though, is that Franz had to keep the existence of these two a secret; when Aelita had left the facility and was discovered, needless to say a turn for the worse began to happen.

Aelita's panic as Franz tried to calm her down during an intense confrontation with soldiers who wanted Franz' facility for themselves, Aelita's cells containing Omega Platinum's essence awoke and caused Mirror M to go ballistic, forcefully ascending him to the Omega Platinum form too early for his own good. Scared beyond all reason and confused like no tomorrow, Mirror M Phase 4 is born, and his outrage that his family is in danger unwittingly causes his incredible power to completely glass entire fractions of the whole European continent. Intense, powerful volcanism, earthquakes shifting the borders of the countries, and powerful, endless storms that plagued the entire side of the globe, ending in an implosion of Mirror M's own power being reabsorbed into himself all at once from each of these elements of chaos. In the process, Earth's orbit around the sun slowed, causing years to last 1.8 times longer than they did before, and Earth's axis tilt would alter so that all portions of the Earth would begin to experience seasons and snowfall. Even by the time of the [=2030s=], intense weather anomalies as a result of Omega Platinum's rebirth still occur and are no less as fierce as they were nearly 90 years ago.

Omega Platinum's second coming is due at some point in the inevitable future, though, as Grandis, Ultima, and Dragora Galaxia now occupy different portions of this particular universe, standing guard should the time arise where they will do battle against Omega Platinum once more. What none of them realize, however, is that even after having been effectively deceased for 4 billion years, Omega Platinum's intense power now eclipses all three of their own power combined, and none of them are any wiser about it due to [[Characters/CitadelOfTheHeartChronicler other concerns]] that have recently been discovered...

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:He visits Suguha's apartment complex with Keiko, with Mirror M inexplicably in Phase 2 form since the last chapter with him in Phase 1 instead. Why is this? Because Mirror M ''feels outright intimidated'' by the impending arrival of Ultima and Dragora, and he's using his less expressive and perpetually hostile looking Phase 2 form to hide his current fears.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Hiroki, which at first seems out of place considering his status as a living weapon of mass destruction, but then you consider the fact that [[spoiler:he's Aelita's significantly older brother who originated from Franz's experiments to create life, and that both he and Aelita share some of Franz's DNA with each other. Speaking of Aelita, part of the entire reason Mirror M breaks containment and initiates the mass breakout? He could sense that Aelita was being abused since Aelita was attempting to telepathically stir Mirror M for help.]]



* {{Expy}}: Of Zilla in Phase 2 form. In fact, the overall anatomical structure uses Zilla as a reference point, except going for a much, much more robust leg and arm structure, especially with the arms being modeled after gorilla arms. His Phase 1 form seems to take heavy amounts of cues from Goliath from ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'', whom Mirror M as a whole is a direct {{Homage}} to.

** Some friends of the author had made comparisons between Mirror M Phase 2 and [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP-682]], primarily in regards to the fact they're both reptilian creatures with a beluga skull type of head and having a large mane. However, WordOfGod states that this comparison was purely accidental in nature.


Added DiffLines:

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:By proxy due to being one of Franz's creations and sharing some of Franz's DNA, he is Aelita's older brother, as Aelita was created under similar circumstances with part of Franz's DNA as well.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Some have made the comparison of Mirror M Phase 2 being a ShoutOut to SCP-682 due to the shape of his head and the mane, but the author only considers it accidental, considering while the two do have a lot of similarities, Mirror M was never intended to have a role in the story anywhere near as similar to SCP-682's own role.

* AnimalMotif: Take your pick, he's got quite a few.
** Monkeys for the overall basis of his Phase 1 form, but monstrous reptilian {{Kaiju}} for his later forms.
** In contrast to Diatrex, the two are often compared to lions and hyenas, in that they're both Apex Predators whose territories overlap with each other to the point frequent competition occurs between the two, with varying degrees of {{Curb Stomp Cushion}}s happening in fierce combat. Mirror M personally compares himself to a hyena between the two animals, and he compares the Diatrex to a lion.




to:

* ZigZaggingTrope: His ability to speak is often put into question when in the proximity of specific characters. When confronting Stormcloud in Chapter 24 of ''Sword Art Online: Special Edition'', he can speak perfectly fine, and when confronting Ken even earlier, he appears to be speaking, but it's actually the result of Ken having the same universal translator as Grandis. Then cue Mirror M being in the same room as Kazuto and Asuna, and Mirror M's dialogue is replaced with various grunts and odd vocalizations that replace his usual dialogue, but otherwise give the impression he's still speaking on his end. To Kazuto and Asuna, he sounds like he's speaking gibberish, which is apparently what any normal person would hear upon Mirror M attempting to speak; anybody with any form of variety of universal translator instead hears actual dialogue from him.

** When it came to redesigning Mirror M from his original ''Bomberman'' OC design, the character [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Venom]] was constantly on the mind when it came to the gradual shift in Mirror M's mouth becoming significantly more monstrous looking as the redesigns continued to be worked on.

* SquareCubeLaw: In real-life, nothing remotely close to his Phase 2 form could logically exist. [[spoiler:In the context of the fics, the SquareCubeLaw as it exists in real-life doesn't truly exist at all; it's human misinterpretation of how things actually work, and therefor the law only applies to anything humans have been able to study and apply it to, [[TropesAreTools with Mirror M displaying abilities that flat out break the laws of physics to the point that's part of what makes him so horrifying to begin with.]]]]

* StarterVillain: He's the BigBad of the first arc of ''Reflection Code'', but is only due to only looking out for himself during the events of the breakout, and just trying to survive. Unfortunately, as a highly dangerous carnivorous monstrosity that feeds on just about any source of meat, even humans, and having an highly volatile HairTriggerTemper, he's a threat to everyone even if he's technically a neutral party in the entire conflict at first.
