I hope Ekko is a candidate for the Riot Games/Marvel comics.

Chronobreak was badass and established some pretty cool themes

  1. Our decisions define us
  2. Even with unlimited tries, we're bound to fail sometimes
  3. Not every mistake can be fixed. Some have consequences that we just have to live with.

It makes Ekko a very interesting character. He's someone who will try over and over and over again just to save his buddy, very superhero-esque. Defies impossible odds. Despite incredible power and talent and being a bit of a show-off, it shows that deep down he's got his own vulnerabilities and his own burdens. He's made big mistakes with big consequences. Flawed and a bit broken, but still good at heart and willing to accept his mistakes and learn from them.

Lot of potential here, especially from a company known for its superheroes! I'm seeing a lot of parallels between Ekko and Spiderman, honestly.

Not to mention he's a completely normal person. He's not inherently magical but is basically a complete genius.

He should be. He's basically League's Spider Man in a weird way, when you really think about it.

  • Ingenious teenage science prodigy? Check.

  • Initially seen as a nerdy, unpopular kid around his peers? Check.

  • Was a normal kid until one incident changed his life forever and turned him into a hero? Check.

  • Death of a friend/loved one had a major effect on his psyche and outlook as a hero? Check.

  • Amazing intelligence hindered by teenage arrogance and youthful, naive optimism? Check.

  • Is easy-going, confident and cracking jokes whenever he takes on bad guys? Check.

  • Had a connection with a few of Zaun's prominent villains and Piltover rivals before they became villains and rivals? Check.

He has all the makings for your average teenage superhero kinda character. Plus, it helps that practically every other champion in Zaun & Piltover lore either: wants to side with him, wants to use him for his genius, wants to take him under their wing as an apprentice, wants to steal his time-traveling device, or just wants him outright dead (or in Urgot's case, driven insane) for being a potential threat to the uneasy balance between both cities. Regardless, Riot's writing team has written him in such a way that he's bound to become the "main character" rep for Zaun in the future.
