Editing Scrub (section)

==History==
===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Attended a party at the dilapidated mall and [[Trigger Event|triggered]] in the midst of one of the gladiatorial combat orchestrated by [[Skidmark]]<ref name="11.6">[[Infestation 11.6]]</ref><ref name="Cast1">'''Scrub''' – Triggered in the midst of one of a grand melee/free for all fighting match provoked by the Merchants.  White haired, with a glow emanating from each of his cavities, he generates explosions in his immediate surroundings, annihilating matter they come in contact with. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast]</ref>. The amount of capes around him when Scrub triggers contributed to him manifesting a mild trump aspect to his power, able to negate many power-based defenses.<ref name="R4" /> He did not have control of his abilities after triggering and this was not helped by being suddenly attacked by [[Shamrock]] as part of Faultline's assault on the Merchants.

He survived the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]]'s decimation of the Merchants and was able to temporarily disable [[Crawler]]<ref name="I12 e4"> The boy with the glowing hair pushed his power into overdrive, calling forth a series of flashes that exploded in close succession.  One caught Crawler in the face, revealing only a cross-section of his head, complete with a bisected brain, a skull six inches thick and the interior of Crawler’s mouth.  Crawler collapsed.<br/><br/>Siberian watched as the boy ran, then turned as if she intended to give chase. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/interlude-12/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 12]]</ref>, but he still had not gained control of his abilities.<ref name="I12C1">Also, reworded from ‘blasts’. It’s a word I’m using too much, and it misleads, as you suggest. He still doesn’t have consistent control/accuracy with his power. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/interlude-12/#comment-3151 Comment] by Wildbow on [[Interlude 12]]</ref>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
After this, Scrub fell in with [[Ballistic]]'s crew, indirectly serving [[Coil]]. With the [[Coil's Betrayal|falling out]] between Ballistic's employer and the [[Undersiders]], and the subsequent release of the [[Travelers |Travelers]] fifth member things turned out badly, Scrub was captured by the [[PRT]]. Eventually during the [[Battle against Echidna|Echidna Crisis]] Tattletale convinced him to work with [[Labyrinth]] and together they created a portal<ref name="11.6e2">“Scrub! Get closer to the tower! Everyone else, get back! Labyrinth, don’t use your power any more! Hold off!”<br/><br/>Heads turned. People had no doubt noticed the tower, but now something was happening.<br/><br/>Scrub stepped closer, and one of his explosions ripped through the air. Another followed shortly after, intersecting one area of altered road.<br/><br/>Like a gas in the air that had been ignited, the entire thing went up in a heartbeat. In an instant, it was a white void, as undefinable as Grue’s darkness, perceivable by the edges, but with zero depth or dimension. He’d shunted out the entire structure, as well as everything that had altered on the ground, but nothing had come back.<br/><br/>The door had been kicked out of the frame. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/scourge-19-7/ Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.7]]</ref>, with which [[Travelers]] went back to[[ Earth Aleph]] and then linked [[Earth Bet|Earth Bet&nbsp;with]] [[Earth Gimel]], providing first accessible interdimensional portal between worlds.

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
Started opening inter-dimensional portals with [[Labyrinth]] as part of a duo<ref name="19.7">[[Scourge 19.7]]</ref>. His time with Faultline's crew seems to have become a long-term enterprise.<ref name="Cast2" />

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Collected by [[Khepri]] from Faultline's Crew along with Labyrinth for the final attack against [[Scion]], as a duo replacing [[Doormaker]] after his power has run out, to create portals and collect capes.<ref name="30.6">I accessed the power of the reality warper.  The girl who got more powerful as she lost touch with the world, who could fashion her own realities, then bring them into our world.<br/><br/>I had her create a door, then I used her partner’s help to smash it.<br/><br/>A freestanding hole in reality.  The reality warper used her power to pick a world.<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>I didn’t have the portal man, but I did have this as a means of traveling sideways, like Scion could travel in this direction that wasn’t up or down, left, right, forward or back. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/speck-30-6/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.6]]</ref>
