Thug Man

Pierre Williams returns to Crown City with one goal: disappear. Fresh out of prison, Pierre wants nothing more than quiet days, family dinners, and distance from the life that nearly destroyed him. But Crown City has evolved in his absence. Old factions have sharpened their teeth. New powers are awakening in unpredictable hands. And the symbol Pierre buried refuses to stay dead. When a violent street encounter forces Pierre to act, an ancient artifact bound to him reawakens, igniting abilities he can neither fully control nor fully deny. His intervention saves lives but exposes him to a city watching closely for signs of strength, weakness, and opportunity. In a single moment of visibility, the myth resurfaces. Thug Man is back. As emerging powered individuals struggle to survive their own transformations, Pierre becomes an unwilling anchor in a city spiraling toward chaos. Extremist groups distribute Basé, a mysterious substance promising power but delivering corruption. Criminal empires reposition. Corporate elites and political forces move behind closed doors. And beneath it all, something older and far more dangerous begins to stir. What begins as one man trying to protect his family becomes a chain reaction that fractures Crown City into competing layers of street violence, corporate manipulation, political control, and supernatural influence. Pierre never wanted to be a hero. But in a city where power never disappears, only changes hands, his existence alone is enough to tip the balance. And this time, everyone is watching.
