Last Son of Alcatraz

The **Last of Alcatraz** is one of the main characters of *The Nixonverse* spin-off series. A kind and noble protector, the Last Son is a charismatic superhero who possesses a strong sense of justice, which sustains and guides him through all manner of shaking uncertainties.

## Personality

The Last Son is very kind by nature and an extremely moral person, believing it immoral to kill anyone under any circumstances, and will do whatever he can to avoid it. He exhibits a great deal of determination and will not give up once he has a goal to achieve; the best example of this being his relentless quest to get the United States and South Korea to sign a peace treaty. However, despite his kind and understanding nature, the Last Son does have a limit to his tolerance and has a distaste for humanity's heartlessness as he is easily angered by the US Government's barbaric actions.

As the Crescent King, the Last Son appeared to be almost mindless. He acted like a machine, destroying human language without any hesitation. The only emotion the Last Son has ever shown as Crescent King is sadness. It is stated that he cannot stop crying in this form, most likely regretting the monster he's become.

## Synopsis

### Creation

When Richard Nixon landed on the Moon of the Nixonverse, he created three entities to make sure that if he ever came to earth, humans would treat him well. One of these would be “The Last Son of Alcatraz.” The Last Son had memories of famous American actor Kirk Alyn.

### Early Life

A radio broadcast states that the Last Son was not born the height of a man and that he was much taller than a man early in his life.

Alice Avenue provided a more detailed report of his youth. He was a conscientious youth who cleaned his father's workshop every day before heading to school, driving by himself. During the drives, he'd often get lost in thought about his place in the universe, believing it was his role to help people. He believed that, in order to help people, he must win at any cost.

On one drive, he ended up more lost in thought than usual, and crashed into James Dean's vehicle. Although the Last Son was quick to help, he ultimately could not rescue the driver, who told him "You won little bastard, you won," before dying.

The Last Son ultimately passed out from either pain or exhaustion, and ended up having a vivid dream. In the dream was on a cliff by the sea, with James Dean's car on a collision course with him. He decided to dive off the cliff, and before he hit the water, he was able to escape death by flying.

When the Last Son woke up, he flew away from the scene as he did in his dream. His philosophy from then on was to win at any cost, so that he could save everyone.

### Heroism and Intervention in Korea

At some point, the Last Son established himself a fortress in Alaska.

It is reported that the Last Son was heavily involved in the Korean War, intervening on behalf of both the United States-backed South Korea, and North Korea. It is unknown what informed the Last Son's choice of side during any particular intervening action.

Many government officials and military officers took note of the Last Son at this time, and believed it was only a matter of time before he took over the world.

### Government capture and involvement in Vietnam

After intervening in Korea, the Last Son returned to his fortress in Alaska. The United States chose to drop nuclear bombs on Alaska in an attempt to capture him which succeeded. He may have lost an eye during this attack. Alaska was seemingly destroyed by this as well, creating the location known as Dark Alaska.

Upon capturing the Last Son, the United States implanted him with an eye collected on the Apollo 12 mission to the Moon. This allowed the government to control the mind of the Last Son, and transform him into an impersonation of Jesus Christ. In this form, the Last Son took on the appearance of Jesus nailed to a crucifix.

After gaining control of the Last Son, the United States used him in their first trial of the 'sweep-and-redeem' tactic. The Last Son swept from north to south, presumably killing millions in the campaign, and successfully defeated North Vietnam. This trial presumably killed millions and was the basis of America's "Peace Equation" in which "Our Freedom > Your Freedom, Our Christ > Your Christ". After the war, a new government was presumably instated by the United States, renaming the nation to Bethlenam. The United States presumably intended to use the Last Son for future conquests against the rest of the world.

After Vietnam, the Last Son seemingly escaped the grasp of the United States Government and returned to Dark Alaska, guilty over what he had done to the people of Vietnam. When he arrived, he transformed into a house resembling his family home, the way he wished to present himself to those he had hurt. The United States would later make a cover story to explain the House on the Ocean as an urban legend.

### Lunarians Invasion

The Lunarians discovered the Last Son in Dark Alaska, and communicated with him telepathically from a cloud ship. They proposed to make him their king, which he refused. Ultimately, the cloud ship descended upon him and transformed the Last Son anyways, turning him into their king, the Crescent King.

As the Crescent King, the Last Son was used by the Lunarians to slowly destroy human languages without being noticed. This was all part of the Lunarian's plan to dominate humanity by destroying their language and indoctrinating them into Lunarian society. Only Alice Avenue recognized that it was occurring, and broadcasted a message showing the Last Son's origin in hopes of convincing him to stop.

### Later Life

After the Lunarians were destroyed by the D-Day Knight, the Last Son remained as the Crescent King. Either unable or unwilling to transform back to his original form, the Last Son remained in his Crescent King form.

When Molly Avenue came to Dark Alaska, she found and recorded the Last Son. He is shown to be crying, unable to stop, presumably out of grief. She states that grief made him a monster. Towards the end of her recording, he brings himself to his feet, and Molly Avenue states that "the horned serpent lives."

### Fictionalized

Richard Nixon explained to Ed Dwight the true origins of the Last Son, and stated that when the Last Son becomes the Crescent King he would become the most dangerous leader in the universe. As a result, he must be destroyed. The only way to do this is render him as a work of fiction, which is what Nixon does, transforming the entire universe into a work of fiction published by Dwight Comics.

## Trivia

* The Last Son of Alcatraz seems heavily based on Superman from Detective Comics lore. His conscientious and helpful nature, as well as his powers, seem highly reminiscent of many of Superman's abilities. In his house form, he also highly resembles the house that Clark Kent grew up in on the Kent Family Farm.
