Goofy ahh Cuphead AU💀 (read Desc for info)
anyways, "Upgraded AU" is the future version of Cuphead and Mugman but they have robotic features like
Cuphead eyes were replaced with a screen and Mugman which I will be doing in the future has a robotic eye on one side of his face
they still work for the devil in the casino, not as waiters but as assassins for the devil, usually they would make the victim unconscious then send them to the devil
unless the task is to literally kill them.
Both Cuphead and Mugman are injected with liquids (these drugs are permenent therefore if you get injected the powers and effects you get are gonna stay with you forever)
whoever gets injected with these drugs will be able to mimic some of the powers that the devil has
for instance, Mugman has the ability to use fire and is capable of burning things in a blink of an eye, he can't burn contracts though.
Cuphead can turn certain parts of his body into demonic features whenever he wishes to such as horns,tails, claws, etc. or even a full demon body but it uses a lot of energy and blood.
Mugman doesn't mind the drugs he was given,
Cupheads drugs however (as the unlucky cup he is) are highly poisonous, and since he was injected by it he has to get use to the effects he has to deal with like: getting dizzy for no reason, throwing up, shivering from time-to-time
the drugs that they were given are considered the highest class, since they were the first two to fight the devil and won the devil saw patential in them, if they were able to beat him then they must be very strong but they don't have the "revive potion" anymore the devil needed other ways to keep them alive. there were many other drugs he could have given to them, but he wanted them to live as long as possible therefore he gave them these drugs which can also make you live longer than natural mortals
the devil for once trusted them with something this powerful and surprisingly, he made the right choice.
they still hangout with their "friends" in the casino like chips,Pirouletta, kingdice (obvi cus he's their second boss) mangosteens etc.
now that they are more skilled and have better reflexes, people don't treat them as they use to anymore, or you could say that they're more careful around them Ig
they still go back and rest in their apartments, and yes Cuphead is still daisy's dad (because y'all seem to love this headcanon of mine which I appreciate very much :D )
-their personalities things they like and their addictions ig
Mugman is still a kind and caring person but he's more brave and more confident
he's (kind of) addicted to Gin and moonshine and likes reading history books in his free time
Cuphead kinda just became "the quiet kid" he doesn't talk much, well not anymore since he doesn't want to risk throwing up while he's talking.
he enjoys drinking tea and sometimes coffee as well as moonshine, he likes to relax and think to himself in his free time, smoking is also another thing he does but not as often
