Hey! How do you think Goldheart's relationship to Dr Slug would be? Like, Dr Slug will be "dominant"? And Goldheart a shy boy?
I've always thought about this dynamic of original Goldheart and Dr Slug from Heroic AU, but I've never seen anyone talk about it.
Hi anon,
(For me personally, I prefer to call the HeroicAU Flug Dr.Slys rather than Dr.Slug as it sounds like he is an insectologist. Also because Alan mentioned that Flug asks people to call him Dr. Flug because people can't pronounce Flugslys, so the HeroicAU my headcanon is that Flug's name is still Flugslys, but similarly people can't pronounce that so he goes by the name Dr. Slys, basically the word sly with an s, because it sounds more menacing to strike fear in the hearts of criminals.
For GoldHeart, I called him DarkHeart because in Villainous, there is a popular saying in P.E.A.C.E which is "Gold be in your heart", so in the HeroicAU, there is a popular saying amongst D.O.O.M., the HeroicAU version of P.E.A.C.E., which is "Darkness be in your heart")

In Villainous I always see GoldHeart and Flug's dynamic as a Popular Jock Superman vs Nerdy Lex Luther.
In the HeroicAU, my headcanon of DarkHeart and Dr. Slys dynamic is like a Joker with superpowers and a Batman that kills.
(I kinda imagine DarkHeart to do the Mark Hamill Joker laugh)
----
In the HeroicAU, Dr.Slys is a hero that strikes fear into the hearts of Villains criminals just from intimidating aura, the only exception is DarkHeart who is not affected by him and enjoys his company.
DarkHeart is the strongest, most feared, dangerous, and the most insane supervillain with his own supervillain league called "The Dark Side". His goal is to end all good forever and Dr.Slys is the one to stop him.
----
Dr. Slys is a planner who thinks two steps ahead of people, but finds it hard to predict DarkHeart's insanity makes him unpredictable and comes up with plans that are equally insane and unpredictable. (Like hitting someone with a bag of rocks out of nowhere and dancing the macarena to distract people)
Dr. Slys is someone who similar to Flug is a planner, but unlike Flug he is more destructive and chaotic, like he enjoys crashing his plane into things causes a lot of property damage when saving people. Hence, because of this he is not popular amongst the public despite his success of being a hero. (I kinda imagine like this scene from Lego Batman)
But he does have loyal fans and supporters who appreciate him.
DarkHeart would often try to convince him that its more fun to be the Villain rather than a hero and no one would care how much property damage is caused and will in fact encourage it, and genuinely believes that Slys is more suited to be on the Villain because of his sadistic and violent nature. But Dr. Slys always rejects DarkHeart saying that he won't "go over to the dark side".
----
After Dr. Slys joins WhiteHat Organization, WhiteHat would try to help Dr. Slys improve as a hero and wants Dr.Slys to be less sadistic and violent while Dr. Slys would just see it as a job.
He also finds WhiteHat's methods for justice to be soft and also questionable because it can't be explained by science, but somehow manages to work and also because of these methods WhiteHat is able to become the no.1 and best hero.
This is why, despite there disagreement Dr.Slys has a lot of respect for WhiteHat and willing to agree and compromise to some rules such as not to kill Villains unless necessary.
Eventually Dr.Slys slowly and gradually improve as a hero, becoming a more empathetic and less-destructive after he joined the company and befriending Clemencia, 6.6.6., and WhiteHat and eventually come to like WhiteHat because he is genuinely a nice guy. But he is somewhat violent and secretly does things like build torture devices and death rays.
DarkHeart doesn't like that, thinking that after joining WhiteHat Organization and "family life" with Dr. Slys soft. And DarkHeart would often stir the pot with with Dr. Slys disagreements with WhiteHat and try to convince Dr. Slys to join him so that they can take down WhiteHat but Dr.Slys would refuse.
(I imagine DarkHeart convincing Dr.Slys to join him, its like "Say My Name" from Beetlejuice and if DarkHeart succeeds and he and Dr.Slys hangs out its like "That Beautiful Sound", also from Beetlejuice)
----
DarkHeart as mentioned absolutely batshit crazy and would randomly pop up at radom places at random times just to fight Dr. Slys. His intention was to sneak up on Dr. Slys, scare the shit out of him, or just fuck with him for his own amusement.
(source)
Like coming out of trash cans and man-hole covers. Or just dressing up as random people on the street. (I kinda imagine for them to have a Majima and Kiryu dynamic for this case)

DarkHeart is the only Villain in existence that can scare Dr. Slys.
Dr.Slys can handle DarkHeart's crazy antics and persistence for him to join the dark side.
But freaks Dr.Slys the fuck out DarkHeart actually enjoying being tortured by him.
Dr.Slys tortures Villains to get information or to scare them off for doing crime, ect. but no matter what he does to DarkHeart, he just seems to want more and absolutely loves it.
Which no Villain has never reacted this way and this just scares him and makes him want to run for the hills, (which is ironic for a Villain that strikes fear into other criminals)
Something like this scene:
DarkHeart, after being dipped in acid: Whoa that was great, can we go at it again? :D
Dr.Slys: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ENJOY IT, YOU NUT!!
DarkHeart: You seem tense Slys. Looks like someone needs a hug. ~ 🖤
Dr.Slys: GAH!! Get away from me you're covered in acid!!
Dr.Slys: If you don't tell me what I want, I'm going to sew your your mouth to a butt like they do in human centipede.
DarkHeart: Only if it's your butt I'm being sewed to. ;D
Dr.Slys: YOU'RE INSANE!!
DarkHeart: So are you, that's why we are meant to be together. ;) 🖤
Dr.Slys, runs away: GAH!!
DarkHeart, going after Slys: Where are you going Slys? I thought you wanted something from me.🖤 ~

(How they feel about each other)
Despite DarkHeart's craziness and his ability to be ultra sadistic and machoistic at the same time, and their different opinions on good and evil, Dr.Slys, does enjoy DarkHeart's company because he is someone who can truly relate to him and slowly his antics does grow on him and at times wishes they weren't on the other side.
While Slys thinks DarkHeart is just horny for being tortured by him.
Meanwhile, DarkHeart loves Dr.Slys because is someone who could truly relate to him, challenge, exits him and believes they can (literally) rule the world together and are ment to be together. And also because he is horny for being tortured by Slys.
