| ~ SCP-4455 escaping the Foundation's elaborate attempt at capturing him. |
SCP-4455, also known as The Streamliner, is a character in the SCP Foundation. He is a superhero with the power abbreviate the fights and missions that he undertakes, abruptly ending these events in his victory. He mostly used this to do good, but because of this he became the target of the SCP Foundation, forcing him to continually evade them.
Biography[]
Background[]
Next to nothing was known about the individual known as the Streamliner and later designated SCP-4455. What was known is that SCP-4455 had somehow gained his power to shorten real-life narratives, and used this power to become a superhero who helped the innocent people and fought criminals. In his time as the superhero the Streamliner he gained some enemies, including an archenemy known as the Expositor. During the battle atop a roof in Chicago they were discovered by the SCP Foundation and sent Agent LaFerrier to film the event. The Expositor, designated SCP-4455-Ω, constantly spoke, describing the narrative they were in, in order to negate SCP-4455's power, but during his lengthy speech LaFerrier attempted to shoot him. SCP-4455-Ω managed to evade the attack by conjuring a force field and attempted to resume his monologuing, but because he had been interrupted SCP-4455 swiftly killed him. Soon Mobile Task Force Omega-12 arrived, forcing 4455 to escape.
Against the Foundation[]
In the ensuing months, the Foundation attempted to capture SCP-4455 numerous times, all of which failed. On their second attempt on January 20th of 2019, after SCP-4455 stopped a bank robbery in Chicago, MTF Omega-12 armed with weapons and thaumaturgy tried to apprehend him, but he escaped. On the seventh attempt on September 11th of 2019, after 4455 saved a cat from a tree in Maggie Daley Park, the MTF completely surrounded the park while a helicopter spotlighted 4455 to track his movement. The MTF sought to use Scranton Reality Anchor grenades to negate his power, but 4455 again managed to escape. On the eighteenth attempt on January 3rd of 2020, the MTF set a concrete bunker filled with reality anchors and disguised it as SCP-4455-Ω's lair in order to lure 4455 in, and when 4455 entered inside he simply escaped once again.
On the twenty ninth attempt on December 3rd of 2024, after finding the location of 4455's home, the MTF prepared to ambush him in his sleep and having learned how his powers worked each member began describing in detail each of their actions to leave no narrative space for 4455 to escape. After scouting the entirety of his house, the MTF quickly barged in his bedroom where they shot him with a tranquilizer dart. 4455 was incapacitated and brought to a site where he was encased in an airtight, skintight mold, with two tubes connecting to his esophagus and trachea in order to provide him sustenance and two other tubes connecting to his urethra and rectum to excrete his wastes, while two speakers constantly played audio books to his ears.
At some point, the Foundation used SCP-4455 as another attempt to neutralize SCP-682. At first 4455 managed to somehow kill SCP-682, but it later revived itself while 4455 attempted to escape. On April 18th of 2026, 4455 successfully managed to escape from containment.
Possible Endings[]
Project Isorropía[]
Following the success of the cross-testing of anomalies at Site-100, SCP-4455 was cross-tested with SCP-5476, a Foundation aic which added to various files of SCiPNET footnotes to describe unique words. Because SCP-5476's footnotes were stored in a separate document, 4455 was unable to use his power to affect that information, and due to 4455 trying to use his power on SCP-5476 it dedicated itself to keep describing him, effectively containing each other.
Appearance[]
SCP-4455's true appearance is unknown, apart that he had a masculine build. He wore a motorcycle helmet and a white latex suit with a single black line across the midriff and the words "The Streamliner" written across the left pectoral area.
Powers and Abilities[]
SCP-4455 possessed the ability to greatly condense and shorten narratives, which bypassed logical lines of causality. Basically SCP-4455 could abbreviate events he was involved in, being capable of immediately ending his encounters with his enemies and always resulted in his victory without any detail on how he actually managed to come on top. This power was apparently not a form of reality bending as the Scranton Reality Anchors didn't dampen SCP-4455. However, this power can be denied if his opponents constantly talked by describing what actions they took and what transpired, lengthening the encounter and preventing SCP-4455 from winning. According to a document of SCP-2305-A, which described a termination attempt of SCP-4455, if the Foundation was to just kill him, 4455 could simply foil this attempt on his life.
Personality[]
SCP-4455's personality was largely unknown, since he never spoke a single word. What can be deduced from his actions, SCP-4455 wished to use his power for good, helping the innocent people and fighting the wrongdoers. Although the Foundation relentlessly chased him, SCP-4455 would always use his power to simply escape, instead of killing them, wanting to just be left alone and be allowed to be a superhero.

Trivia[]
