Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Takotsubo: The story of a superhero is a troper work by Sharysa on HitRECord. The main story is a script, but she's also written three companion pieces in prose: The Bridge-Building stories and Gunsmoke.Takotsubo is the story of Cord Cai, a young Chinese-American who lives in Oakland, California. After his fiancé Roland Fujii is shot in a botched carjacking by Harry Lamont, Cord shoots Lamont in revenge and then takes on the gangster alter-ego of "the Tin Man," leading East 13. It is a massive Deconstruction of the superhero genre's lack of racial diversity, as well as Cord's specific stereotype of the Asian-American gangster. | |

In Gunsmoke and the script's prologue. Cord and Roland are targeted for a carjacking and Roland gets shot. Cord tries to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge when the police barely do anything, but he eventually shoots Harry Lamont in revenge and starts a gang as the Tin Man. | |

Bandage Babe | |
| Takotsubo / int_be305b87 | comment |
Bandage Babe: Gender-Inverted Trope. The Four Winds are hot Asian-American men who wander around half-dressed in gauze. After his death, Roland is similarly (un)dressed in white. | |

Capepunk: Cord Cai is obviously a superhero thanks to suffering a tragic loss, being motivated to get justice for it, and becoming a vigilante. But since Cord is Asian, it plays more like a Downer Beginning than a triumphant call to justice. He's Driven to Suicide and desperately fights the paramedics who take him to a psych ward, he feels forced into revenge because the Police Are Useless (as a group, if not individually), and holds no illusions that he'll go to jail if he's caught for murder. Oakland needs a superhero for a VERY good reason. | |
