Personality
Lives a tortured existance.<ref name=origin/>
Appearance
Mockument has a jester theme to his costume, and is described as being proportioned like a gorilla. His costume has a white and black aesthetic.<ref>Mockument was in his own sub-faction, with capes who tended to hang around together. Jokers and ‘randoms’. He had a look that made me think of a jester proportioned like a gorilla, predominantly done up in the new group’s aesthetic of white and black checkerboard. - Excerpt from From Within 16.4</ref>
Abilities and Powers
Mockument has a Master ability that allows him to create homunculus copies of parahumans. These are monstrous caricatures, versions of capes that represent everything the target hates about themselves. These clones also gain the abilities of the original cape, but in no way near as potent or reliable.<ref name="16.4">Mockument used his power. Hand held over ground, then slowly lifted, raising up a pillar of pavement from the road.
“Don’t-” I started.
The pillar broke like an egg. Flesh spilled out, reaching, groping. I had no idea what it was at first, until I saw the blonde hair and the extent of naked flesh. I flew back about ten feet just from the unconscious recoil.
A caricature of a monstrous caricature. Features distorted, with mouths yawning open in horror, lips lipstick red, or whole faces smooshed into distorted kissy faces. I saw a tattoo of a heart with an arrow through it, the space within with a word in it. ‘Amy’.
[...]
“Mockument… we don’t really know. The minions aren’t strong, they barely have powers, they don’t really have brains, they’re just conduits for a thinker aspect to his power, but…”.
Snow White looked over at the caricature of me. It was perched on top of a car now..
“Jesus,” she said..
“Yeah,” I tried to sound casual, and I sounded too quiet instead. I spoke more normally as I deflected with. “It targets parahumans only? [...] Probably uses some weak connection to the power or replicates what it can track nearby.” [...] “Its good to not underestimate powers. Even broken, intermittent ones.” - Excerpt from From Within 16.4</ref>
The Thinker rating seemingly comes fron the clones knowledge of their target, and what learns from observing their behavior.<ref> - Excerpt from From Within 16.4</ref>
History
Background
Mockument implied that he is not the original version of himself.<ref name=origin>“I hate your power,” I told him.
“I hate it too,” he replied. He smiled wide, but his eyes were cheerless. “The person who had it died, and I’m the mess they left behind.” - Excerpt from From Within 16.4</ref>
Post-Attack on Teacher
Mockument, alongside Deathchester, began robbing evacuating civilians. He fought against the combined forces of Breakthrough and The Huntsmen.
Trivia
- Mockument is either a portmanteau of 'mockery' and 'monument', or a contraction of 'mockumentary'.
- Despite fandom speculation there are no known links to Blister.<ref>Wanted: Lost Minion
A Master died in an altercation with another cape, and their minion -a creature the size of a car with a swiss army knife assortment of capabilities- has managed to hide itself away. It's not disappearing now that is Master is gone. No. It's emerging at random points throughout the city looking for food... and it seems to be developing more capabilities and acting with more intelligence.. - Weaver Dice Plot Hooks (Wildbow, Reddit.com, 2016-11-18)</ref> Regardless, his situation parallels Dragon.<ref>“No. I mean, not just as far as the classification applies to you. You’re a parahuman. I don’t have time to hunt for it now, but at some point between now and a few years after your creation, you had a trigger event.”
“How can I be a parahuman if I’m not human to begin with?” - Excerpt from Interlude 16.y</ref>
