Prompt: "Nazi hunter Erik Lernsharr is apprehended and sentenced to prison for the sheer trail of brutality and blood he left in his wake. But before he can be sent to prison, he's purchased by a Deadman Wonderland, the world's only privately owned prison come amusement park, where the prisoners are the entertainment.
If you're familiar with the show, basically the rules, brutality, and the like are the same. Except DW is run entirely by mutants, even if not all the prisoners are mutants, since mutants would need to be able to subdue other mutants. But mutants are also the most valuable form of entertainment, and hence the most valuable prisoners, especially the ones who are deadmen walking.
While Erik is adjusting to the madness of his new situation, he meets Charles Xavier, and learns that Schmidt is either at DW or somehow involved in it, which creates the incentive for Erik to throw himself headlong into staying at DW until he can exact his revenge, all the while bonding with Charles and a ragtag bunch of mutants like himself, and fighting the random adversary. After all, this is the first time he's ever seen others like him, whether they're his oppressors or not.
Bonus if you can somehow manage to keep Charles' idealism intact despite the crapsack world. I see him as perhaps being framed (a la Ganta), but whatever works for the author is fine."
