Unstoppable 1997

"Unstoppable 1997" emerges as an unreleased demo by the esteemed singer Michael Jackson, originating within the timeframe of the "Blood On The Dance Floor" EP.

Crafted in 1997, this composition bears the hallmarks of a dance-oriented anthem that, according to accounts, held the potential to become a significant hit. The thematic underpinning of the song is said to delve into Jackson's personal struggles encompassing both his health challenges and his emotional battles, all while navigating the relentless pressures exerted by the media.

Amidst the song's introspective exploration of adversity, "Unstoppable 1997" aligns itself with the artist's perception of enduring hardship with the resilience akin to that of Jehovah. The track alludes to Jackson's patience in confronting life's tribulations, evoking a sense of imminent reward for his steadfast resolve.

However, despite the song's creative and thematic potency, "Unstoppable 1997" remained confined to the status of an unreleased demo. It was not until 2016 that the track, along with another unreleased song "Wake Up (Cocka Doodle Doo)," was leaked, thereby bringing these compositions to public attention. Interestingly, it was "Wake Up" that garnered more widespread attention, somewhat overshadowing "Unstoppable 1997."

In the eyes of devoted fans spanning the globe, "Unstoppable 1997" garners acclaim as a commendable piece that, by popular consensus, would have been a fitting inclusion within the "Blood On The Dance Floor" EP. This sentiment underscores the widespread appreciation for the song's musical merit and thematic resonance, while also underscoring the complexities that underlie the decision-making processes surrounding an artist's body of work.

"Unstoppable 1997" not only remained an unreleased demo but also underwent a significant transformation later in its musical journey. The track was reworked for the original version of Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album during the years 1999 to 2000. This demonstrates the enduring appeal and creative potential of the song, as it found itself reimagined within the context of a different project altogether. The fact that it was considered for inclusion in both the "Blood On The Dance Floor" EP and "Invincible" album underscores its versatility and the artist's persistent interest in harnessing its thematic and musical qualities.

Despite its eventual reworking, "Unstoppable 1997" remained unreleased to the public until its leak in 2016. This revelation brought renewed attention to the song, even though it had previously existed in obscurity alongside other unreleased works by Michael Jackson. While "Wake Up (Cocka Doodle Doo)" may have garnered more immediate recognition, "Unstoppable 1997" continues to be appreciated by fans worldwide for its musical merit and thematic resonance. This enduring fan admiration reaffirms the timeless quality of the song, suggesting that it would have made a fitting addition not only to the "Blood On The Dance Floor" EP but also to the broader scope of Jackson's musical legacy.
Just Get Under My Balls

"Just Get Under My Balls" is an unreleased demo attributed to the acclaimed singer Michael Jackson. Originating in the year 1999, the composition emerged during the prolific Invincible Brainstorming Session, where Jackson collaborated with renowned music producer Dr. Freeze. The song, although conceptualized and documented in its written form, did not progress beyond the initial stages of creation and thus remained unrecorded. Despite its association with the artist's creative endeavors, "Just Get Under My Balls" stands as a testament to the intricate nature of the artistic process, wherein not all ideas come to fruition in the realm of finalized musical production.

Speculation abounds regarding the sonic direction of "Just Get Under My Balls," with some asserting that the composition was intended to bear resemblances to the track "Get Your Weight Off Of Me." However, it is important to note that this theory lacks substantiation, as neither the singer Michael Jackson nor his associates have provided confirmation or validation of such claims. The exact musical intentions behind "Just Get Under My Balls" thus remain subjects of conjecture within the sphere of Jackson's unreleased works.

Notable leaks pertaining to the song have surfaced, featuring lyrics with suggestive content referencing the size of the singer's testicles. Specifically, the lyrics in question include lines such as "My balls are bigger than yours, you cannot claim to have lore, if you don't wash them, baby." It is worth noting, however, that the authenticity of these leaked lyrics as accurate representations of the song's intended content remains uncertain. These leaked lyrics were disseminated on March 23rd, 2003, by a blog titled 'MJLeakAFied.' Despite their circulation, these lyrics have not been officially verified as genuine elements of the song's conception by Michael Jackson himself or his affiliated parties. Consequently, this information underscores the intricacies surrounding unofficial releases and the challenges in ascertaining their accuracy within the context of the artist's body of work.
Don't Be Playin'

"Don't Be Playin'" is a demo that undertook a fascinating journey before finding its place in the singer's fourth posthumous album, aptly titled "Rhythm." Its origins harken back to the year 2000, during a collaborative effort between the esteemed artist Michael Jackson and the accomplished producer Darkchild. Notably, the song's foundational musical structure bore the intriguing moniker of "Go Xrazy," signaling the evolution and transformation that would shape its essence over time.

The lyrical narrative of "Don't Be Playin'" bears the creative imprint of Dr. Freeze, offering a compelling tale of human interaction. Within this story, a vivid portrait emerges of a young woman who wholeheartedly embraces a lifestyle steeped in lively revelry and vibrant social gatherings. In her world, the pursuit of enjoyment and merriment takes center stage. The male protagonist, on the other hand, repeatedly finds himself drawn into her orbit, crossing paths with this spirited individual at various social events. With each serendipitous encounter, his curiosity and interest steadily mount, prompting him to gather the courage to approach her and initiate a connection.

As the narrative unfolds, the two characters embark on a journey of attraction and connection, navigating the unpredictable terrain of budding romance. Their shared experiences serve as the foundation for a burgeoning relationship that deepens over time. In essence, "Don't Be Playin'" encapsulates the universal theme of the sparks that fly when two people with mutual attraction come together, celebrating the joy and intrigue of new love.

What renders "Don't Be Playin'" particularly intriguing is its transformative journey from its original incarnation to its revival within the "Rhythm" album. This evolution underscores the enduring influence of Michael Jackson's creative genius, persisting even after his passing. It highlights the fluid and adaptive nature of music, demonstrating how existing works can be reinterpreted and imbued with new life, resonating with fresh audiences and reminding us of the timeless quality of great art.
Mugshot

album cover

"Mugshot" stands as a unique and intriguing chapter in Michael Jackson's musical journey, a project born out of a particular period in the artist's life. Created in 2004, this unreleased album emerged in response to the circumstances surrounding Jackson's career at the time.

By 2004, Michael Jackson had witnessed the commercial reception of his previous album, "Invincible," which, despite its creative merits, had faced challenges in capturing the same level of success as his earlier works. In response to these developments, Jackson embarked on a creative endeavor that would become "Mugshot." This album marked a significant departure from his previous musical explorations, offering a fresh perspective and an evolving sound.

One notable aspect of "Mugshot" was its collaborative spirit. The album featured a diverse lineup of guest artists, each contributing their unique talents to the project. Among these collaborators were Wade Robson, known for his dance prowess and choreography, Playboi Carti, a rising star in the hip-hop scene, and Taylor Swift, an emerging country-pop sensation at the time. Their involvement added a dynamic and contemporary edge to the album, showcasing Jackson's willingness to adapt to evolving musical landscapes.

The title "Mugshot" itself carries a sense of intrigue, hinting at the possibility of personal introspection and self-expression within the album's themes. It's as if Jackson used this project to reflect on his own life and career, addressing the challenges and controversies that had surrounded him.

While "Mugshot" remains unreleased and shrouded in mystery, it stands as a testament to Michael Jackson's enduring creative spirit. This album represented his determination to continue pushing the boundaries of his artistry, adapt to changing musical landscapes, and connect with a new generation of listeners. Even though the album may never see an official release, it remains a compelling and enigmatic part of the King of Pop's musical legacy, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into a unique chapter of his career.

M46: Wepwawet

The M46: Wepwawet is an aggressive E or D rank monster. Two separate monsters of this type have appeared in the story so far.

## Background

M46 is a car sized, six-legged carnivorous monster that specializes in ambush predation. It is shown to have animal like intelligence and relies on its highly versatile power and significant physical might to hunt and protect itself.

The first M46 seen in the story is the one that attacks Oscar Leicht's family. The monster attacked his family home and managed to kill him and his entire family except for his sister. However, it was fatally wounded in return by Oscar and his contact with its fluids as he killed it resulted in his postmortem pseudo ascension as a Superhuman.

The second M46 seen in the story lurked in one of the caves leading to the Hex Portal deep in the Hex Dimension. Depending on the player's decisions, either the MC or Deryl encounter it with the MC killing it or Deryl trapping it with a cave in.

## Powers and Abilities

The M46 emits a dull red light from it eyes. It is able to manipulate the acceleration of any living thing that touches the light, with the magnitude of the manipulation based on how intensely the light is shining on the target. Even entering an area lit by the light begins to slow the MC and ranged attacks thrown at the monster slow to a stop as they near its gaze. Offensively the monster can use its large body to toss or displace its targets before using its light to dramatically accelerate them, causing them to take massive damage when they finally hit the ground, wall or any other obstacle.

If an object isn't touched by the light it is unaffected by the monster's power. The MC is able to take advantage of this by stabbing the monster from underground and then dragging it underground and killing it. Deryl similarly takes advantage of this to escape by simply burying the monster with a cave-in. The light also appears to not effect inorganic objects.
M72: Gorgon

The M72: Gorgon is a powerful Class B monster that H.E.R.O sends the MC to hunt alongside either Deryl or Danica. Depending on player choices the MC can either kill it, be killed by it, or let is escape after giving it reproductive material.

## Background

The Gorgon is a long snake like monster with a feminine presenting limbless upper body. It's hair is made of snakes and its eyes glow as it hunts. The monster made it lair in the sewers under the city and this is where it encountered the MC and either Deryl or Danica.

### Early references

The Gorgon is first referenced on the news as a "big titty snake lady" which was dragging homeless people into the sewers. Due to the lack of evidence, nobody took these claims seriously and the story was overshadowed by stories of The Heartstealer.

### Hunt with Deryl

Deryl first probes the sewer with his Chimera ants. They take several hours but are able to locate the monster. The MC and Deryl then lay a trap for the monster. The MC takes on the appearance of one of the sewer tunnels and Deryl then lures the monster into the tunnel by using gunfire and bone spears. The monster - seeing that Deryl's weapons did no damage - rushed into the tunnel. The MC then attacked with his own spear, hidden among the bone spear traps. He was able to penetrate the monster's skin and then tear it to pieces.

### Hunt with Danica

The MC and Danica explore the sewers together where they are ambushed by the monster. As the MC wrestles with it, Danica is able to focus her sight on it and form an 'X' large enough to tear the monster into 4 pieces. She then uses her crosses to destroy any leftover pieces.

### Dead End

Choosing to hunt the monster solo and not give it reproductive material will result in the monster killing the MC. If the player chooses to give it the material, the monster will let the MC go and escape from the hunting party.

## Powers and Abilities

While the monster isn't as physically strong as other B class, its power is extraordinarily lethal and one of the most dangerous encountered in the game so far. A single look at the monster's face - even for an instant - will turn you to stone. The transformation effects everything: flesh, clothing, equipment etc. The monster then typically uses its bulky body to smash the petrifaction victim to pieces, presumably killing them. Notably, this method of killing is said (by a random H.E.R.O agent) to bypass even Nyx Elis's resurrection powers as she is unable to turn the body back to flesh again.

The snakes that form the monster's hair are also quite deadly. They are capable of ripping flesh with their teeth and both injecting a paralyzing venom - making it easier for the monster to position its face in the enemy's sight line - and a petrifaction neutralizing venom. They are also highly flexible and precise, capable of acting like the monster's hands.

## Relationships

### MC

Should the MC choose to provide reproductive material to the monster, it departs on friendly - borderline affectionate - terms with him.

## Trivia

* The monster is an homage to the classic greek monsters known as Gorgons.

* Alaric's death has led to numerous theories among fans such as H.E.R.O. allowing him to die to be a martyr for their cause as many of the level 5s present there should have been able to sense the monster who killed him and his groomsmen.
Hrungnir

Hrungnir are a large, dangerous, and surprisingly intelligent Class - A monster species. They are aggressive, tactical and dangerous because of their functional immunity against a wide range of superhuman powers.

## Background

Multiple Hrungnir were present in the crater in Hex's dimension during the Battle of Diamonds.

The first one is seen attacking several lower level teams of H.E.R.O. operatives including Laurie Kernz's unit. It effortlessly smashed through their crowd control barriers and ignores the long range fire from the fire support teams in the hills. It is able to herd the teams it is chasing into a narrow canyon with no outlet and showed both intelligence and malice once they were cornered by taking its time to advance on them. Unfortunately for this Hrungnir, Duncan Gillibrand intercepted it as it approached to kill the cornered team. He first loped of its arm before simply cutting it in two with his immense magma blade.

The second Hrungnir pursues Laurie Kernz and Alice Alderman after they had finished killing a bat monster. The monster chased them for a short while, before cornering them against a cliff face. Before it could attack them, it was crushed by an iron blade launched by Alexis Allaband as she flew overhead.

## Powers and Abilities

Hrungnirs are very large monsters, standing nearly 50 meters tall. Their immense size and very durable build made them functionally immune to lower level supernatural powers. Laurie's infectious crystal for example couldn't find any purchase to grow on their hides and their immune systems would have purged the infections quickly anyway. They were unaffected by both lightening blasts and plasma beams from the long range support teams and easily smashed through anti monster crowd control barriers. Their size also lent them great strength and they were quite fast in a headlong charge.

Hrungnir's power is called Harden. It generates supernaturally tough rock armor that reinforces its already immensely durable body and renders it largely impervious to damage. The armor is so durable that it was able to resist the heat and penetrating power of Duncan Gillibrand's magma blade. However the monster needs to consciously create the rock armor. When unprepared, it isn't nearly as durable as just a single one of Alexis's iron blades instantly killed it.

## Trivia

* Hrungnir is an old Norse word meaning "brawler" and is also the name of a Jotunn in Norse Mythology.
M59: Leigong

## Powers and Abilities

Leigongs are supernaturally strong and durable, requiring high explosives to even crack their skin.

They are also capable generating lightning from the crystals on their body. They can choose to either shoot lightning bolts from the crystals on their hands, create a large electric explosion with a size and power based on the number of intact crystals they have. The Crystals on their feet allow them to transform into lightning or use large lightning fuelled jumps and dashes if one of them is destroyed.

## Relationships

Their solitary nature and low sustenance needs makes Leigongs distrusted by other monsters.

## Trivia

* Leigong is a thunder god in Chinese mythology.
* In 0.96 it was stated that the M59 possessed venom capable of sedating lesser monsters. This was changed to the M58 in 0.97.

After Duncan gets turned into a tree, she completely loses it and has to be teleported to safety by Nico.

### General Superhuman Powers

Jill is a level 4 superhuman, Her level grants her immense strength and durability, but the non physical nature of her power means she is likely weak compared to other level 4s.

### Powers

Jill's only feat seen so far is using a pink orb generated from her hand to change the direction of one of Duncan's attacks after he had already fired it. She also holds the orb towards Ella when she was about to turn her into a tree, implying that her powers may have a more directly offensive use.

M17: Himavat

M17: Himavat are an extremely dangerous Class - A monster species. They are the second largest monster seen so far in the game and are intelligent, communicative, and immensely powerful.

## Background

### Appearance and Behavior

Himavat are utterly enormous monsters, quite literally dwarfing mountains. They seem to be made entirely up of massive rock formations marked only by 3 glowing eyes. The only distinguishing factor between different instances of the M17 seem to be the crown of spiked rocks that it at the very top of their bodies. They seem to have been present for a very long time on earth; Dexter Miliken notes that their kind were once worshiped as gods (though he doesn't specify by whom). They also seem to spend long periods in dormancy, with every instance of the monsters seen in the game so far having been awakened by external forces.

### First Appearance

To demonstrate to Alistair Landley both the magnitude of the threat Monsters pose to the world and the power at H.E.R.O.'s disposal, Dexter Miliken organizes the awaking of single M17: Himavat in the crystal mountain ranges during the negotiations between H.E.R.O. and the Central Government. Its incredible size and obvious power immediately sending the supreme minister into a panic. He immediately thinks of scrambling Nuclear Weapons to try and kill it but Dexter points out that a nuke would do little to a mountain and even multiple nukes most likely wouldn't kill it.

He then requests Bernhardt Gunvald to "handle" the issue. Berhardt does so in spectacular fashion, first engaging the monster in a quick conversation, blocking its enormous strike with little effort, and then blowing it to pieces with a "little pressure". This display of H.E.R.O.'s power also quickly ends negotiations in Dexter's favor.

### Battle of Diamonds

Two more instances of M17 awaken alongside the Goliath during the Battle of Diamonds. Alexis is able to grow her network of iron into one of them and puppet it to kill the other. Goliath then kills the compromised M17 with a single punch.

## Powers and Abilities

M17: Himavat has not displayed any specific powers outside of its unusual speed for an entity of its size. Its size lends it extreme force and durability with Dexter claiming it could take multiple nukes to put one down.

## Trivia

* Himavat is the physical embodiment of The Himalayan mountains in Hinduism
