Homestuck/WMG/The Midnight Crew

Hearts Boxcars is Mobster Kingpin's Evil Counterpart

One can look over the Midnight Crew and reasonably presume that they're an Evil Counterpart to Team Sleuth, with Space Slick as Problem Sleuth's, Clubs Deuce as Ace Dick's, and Diamonds Droog as Pickle Inspector's. This leaves Hearts Boxcars as the odd man out, and so I submit that he is, in fact, Mobster Kingpin's Evil Counterpart. Though the play as much as counterparts as the do opposites...

• MK's head is way bigger than his body, while HB's body is way bigger than his head, yet both are undeniably the largest members of their respective groups.
• HB gets ordered around by SS and DD; MK takes orders from nobody, and is Problem Sleuth's main antagonist.
• I thought he was Fiesta Ace Dick's counterpart.
  • Looks more like the Hired Muscle to me.

Slick wasn't sent to an alternate timeline, he was just shunted to the past.

The mansion was built around the vault, rather than the vault being built in the mansion. When he opened it, it kicked him back to the earlier days of post-troll society, where he did all his exile things. Meanwhile, past Slick is setting events in motion to create a new civilization on the ruins.

• Doc is alive again, when he is dead during the intermission, so that would make sense. However it's not so much past as alternate timeline. Basically Slick's adventures during the intermission were part of an alternate timeline that got folded into the alpha timeline at the end. Otherwise he'd keep going through the cycle over and over.
  • The first theory is seemingly confirmed; we've seen the deaths of Quarters and Matchsticks.
    • Seems to be both an alternate timeline and the past.

Cyborg Slick is going to kill Alpha Jack Noir

It just seems appropriate. It'll naturally be framed as an internal conflict playing out externally, or something of that nature.
