The Sweet Elite (Willy Wonka Superhero AU thing)

Plot: A year after Charlie Bucket inherited Willy Wonka’s factory, the kind-hearted boy decided to reach out to all the bratty kids who were transformed or deformed by Wonka’s factory antics and tells them that he will cure them but only on one condition as proposed by Wonka, they must work off their debts to Wonka by becoming superheroes, using their extraordinary abilities they indirectly received to benefit others, once they have done enough good deeds, Wonka will give them a “Certificate of Selfless Behavior” and cure them. At first the kids do this just so they can be turned back to normal but overtime they learn to be better people and start to do Wonka and Charlie’s crazy superhero thing for the right reasons. Charlie acts as a director for the ragtag superhero group giving them missions, while Wonka will occasionally use them as spokesmen for his products or for chores around the factory, using the cure for their candy curses as leverage. The formula of the show is that Wonka would have the kids do some task around the factory (which is essentially it’s own world with infinite rooms) or promotion and some kind of moral dilemma will arise from it, then Charlie would call them to action for an adventure that would relate to the moral or situation and a lesson will be learned by the end.

Note: this will include some of the scrapped concepts for ticket winners and chapters from the original Dahl novel as well as some OCs, there is a total of ten kids in the group. Also this AU thing uses elements from all Wonka media, such as Willy’s dad being dentist from the Burton movie and the Oompa Loompas being female like in the live musical.

The Team:

Chocolate Boy - After coming in contact with Wonka’s chocolate in it’s purest form and spending a few seconds doused in it while in one of Wonka’s special furnaces, Augustus Gloop’s DNA mutated into pure chocolate, transforming his body into 100% milk chocolate. Augustus however gained the ability to control his chocolate body at will, he can turn himself in pure liquid chocolate or solid chocolate with almost stone-like density and Herculean strength. Later on he learns the ability to turn matter into pure chocolate through physical contact!

Blueberry - After turning into a giant blueberry by chewing on Wonka’s experimental Three Course Meal gum, Violet Beauregard had to be juiced, returning her to normal... except for having permanently blue-toned skin and above human flexibility and agility (the latter she actually quite liked). Violet can flex, twist and contort her body in amazing ways thanks to her extra flexible muscles and bones. Later on she learns the ability to voluntarily build up juices in her body and turn into a big bouncing blueberry for bouncing, slamming and rolling over enemies or juice up certain parts of her body to deliver powerful strikes with massive limbs! She only wants her skin to be returned to normal as her flexibility has made her quite famous in the acrobatics scene.

Stretch - After being shrunk by Wonka-Vision, Mike Teevee was put into Wonka’s taffy puller to return his size to normal, which inadvertently made him tall and as thin as a piece of paper, but he was also given super elasticity, allowing him to stretch his body to extreme lengths and fold himself into different shapes like paper, his body has become extremely durable as well. His 2D shape also allows him to fit in tight spaces.

Stinking Rich - Being exposed to the excess amounts of trash in Wonka’s garbage dump has given Veruca Salt a permanent body order so strong it can effect her environment, such as wilt flowers, curdle milk, cause people to pass out in comatose just by getting the slightest sniff and more. Her smell intensifies and spreads out farther the more she is emotionally distressed, any strong emotions will cause her stench to increase in intensity and range. Later on Veruca learns how to actually control her stench, such as shooting her stench out in projectile attacks, riding on a wave of stench and reduce or intensify the smell at will!

Pixie Dust - Miranda Mary Piker was a snooty, know-it-all bookworm who hated anything considered fun and thought kids should concentrate more on schoolwork then play. She especially hated candy and found a golden ticket when she confiscated a Wonka Bar from a classmate. On the tour she wanted to put Wonka’s Pixie Stix to an end as it allowed kids to sneak treats into schools only to end up being accidentally ground up into pure Pixie Stix dust when she fell into the Pixie Stix Compactor machine. Instead of dying however, she was simply transformed into pure sugary, colorful dust and could change her shape and size at will and control the dust in any way she liked, such as creating colorful and sweet sandstorms with the stuff! (Based on the scrapped Miranda Mary Piker character and the “Spotty Powder” chapter).

Grotesque - Marvin Prude was a conceited boy who was obsessed with his looks and considered himself the most handsome boy in Malibu, but when he was accidentally doused with the formula for Wonka’s experimental Monster Candy (which would allow kids to temporarily transform into monsters when eaten, giving them instant and convincing Halloween costumes), he was transformed into a ugly monster with purple fur, big bug eyes, gnarled yellow teeth, curled horns and other heinous features! After he was escorted out of the factory, his condition grew worse and he became so ugly that anyone who looked at his face would be struck with paralyzing fear, sickness and even temporary insanity, giving him the need to cover his face at all times, unless he’s fighting crime. He was also given superhuman strength and durability thanks to his now humongous size. His face is hidden in a wooden crate with locks and chains which can be unlocked with a special key. (Based on the scrapped Marvin Prune character).

Solar Flare - Cassandra Anarky was a rule breaker, a troublemaker, a rebelrouser what have you. She didn’t like listening to authority and she’d rather skip school to skateboard and spray paint. This Australian punk would get the lesson of a lifetime when she refused to listen to Wonka when he told her to eat only one sample of his experimental Golden Sun Caramel (which would make you shine like a living night light when you ate it, making you visible during nighttime). Cassandra ate whole handfuls of the stuff making her shine brighter every time she ate one, until finally you started to glow with such great intensity that she started to feel hot and everyone else in the room felt the intense heat as well, Wonka revealed that the caramels use real sunlight and she was starting to turn into a living sun and she needed to be shot into space before she fried the group and disintegrated the whole factory. When she was brought back to Earth for Wonka’s superhero project, she was given a special containment suit that would contain her sun-like body and allow her to control her pure sun power at will, allowing her to project devastatingly powerful energy attacks and making her the most powerful and dangerous member of the group as well! (Based on the scrapped “Warming Candies” chapter).

The Fudge Savage - Yoko Teppanyaki was the daughter of the owner of a candy company in Japan who has long been trying to compete with Wonka to no avail, Japan seeming to prefer Wonka’s chocolate and candy over Yoko’s father’s. After Yoko’s father enlisted the Yakuza to retrieve the Golden Ticket for him, he brought his daughter to the tour with the intention to steal Wonka’s secrets. Upon taking the glass elevator to Fudge Mountain, Wonka took the tour on a brisk hike on the gigantic mountain composed entirely of fudge. Yoko’s father instructed her to go off the hiking path and steal a sample of Fudge Mountain and the vanilla fudge snow as well, only for her to be lost in a fudge landslide! It took half a year to find her, when the Oompa Loompas found her, it turns out she has been living on Fudge Mountain since the accident and she has been transformed into a savage girl, clothes torn, smeared with chocolate and armed with a surprisingly sharp spear of hardened fudge. After being sent back to Japan she underwent therapy to return to normal but with some animalistic traits left in tact such as a tendency to walk on all fours. Interestingly enough, she actually contacted Charlie and Mr. Wonka about the redemption project first, admitting to what her father put her up to and wanting to reclaim her honor by becoming a member of the Sweet Elite. Armed with her newfound tribalistic agility, strength and ability to communicate with the factory’s Candy-based life forms such as the Fudge Mountain Lions, the Sour Gummy Dragons and even the Gingerbread Villagers of Gingerbead Village. (Based on the scrapped “Vanilla Fudge Room” chapter).

Freezer Burn - Victor Picante was a boy with penchant for spicy foods and was renowned throughout Mexico for his high tolerance for spicy foods, being able to eat a hundred ghost peppers in one sitting. On the tour, When Victor was brought into Wonka’s Reject Room, where he kept all of his failed/shelved concepts for candy, his attention was brought to a candy called Daredevils, a spicy jawbreaker-like candy that Wonka said was just too hot to release. Victor, believing he could handle any spicy food, claimed he could handle the Daredevils Candy, Wonka was intrigued as he knew of Victor’s high tolerance to spice so he allowed him to try them. Victor popped one into his mouth and was surprised to find it quite spicy but as he ate it, he found it to be too hot to handle and spat it out, but his mouth begun to burn hotter and hotter until he actually started to breath fire and his whole body started to become red till actual steam started to come off him. He was brought into the Never-Melting Ice Cream room to take an ice cream bath to cure his sweltering body, only to have an adverse effect to where he body became freezing to the touch and made him breath icy wind. Every time he ate a spicy food, he would become sweltering and breath fire again and when he ate something cold, he gained a freezing touch and ice breath. He was also armed with a utility belt loaded with both Daredevils and Gobstopper Snowballs that would allow him to switch between his two different forms upon consuming them.

The Baby - Maximillian Profit was the teenaged son of a strict businesswoman mother and salesman father for a multi-million plastic kitchen ware company that spent his childhood being taught how to run a business by his no-fun-allowed busy body parents so that he can go into the same business as them. On the tour throughout the chocolate factory, Max kept trying to get Wonka to sign a deal to the kitchenware company on his parents behalf. When the tour stopped to the Wonka Vitamin Room, he explained that his experimental Wonka Vitamins were to be so packed full of nutrients and vitamins that it could actually reverse your age, as demonstrated when he gave an elderly Oompa Loompa two and turned to back to a younger one. This awoke something in Max as he grabbed the bottle from Wonka’s hand. He screamed at his parents telling them how he resented them for ruining his childhood and never letting him be a normal child, he then swallowed half of the bottle of Wonka Vitamins, wanting to redo his childhood, only to slowly transform into a baby of six months. Max’s parents begged Wonka to turn him back but he claimed there was no way to accelerate the age and he just had to grow up again. Interestingly, a year after the events, Max did go back to normal... mentally, his body was still that of a baby, just a year old one. Once he was recruited, Max was given a “Utility Diaper” outfitted with an arsenal of baby-themed gadgets, due to having a lack of super powers. (Based on the scrapped Wonka-Vite chapter).
