Thanks @jaronart for this amazing cover!

I should mention that I am writing another version of this story. I will not be completing this version. Feel free to continue reading though.




Hi. I'm a superhero.

No no no. Too blunt. Not superhero-y enough.

I'm here to save your pathetic lives.

No, too honest.

Stop screaming, I'm not going to kill you.

Sucky catchphrase but I'm sure I'll have to say that.

I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm nine hundred and three years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?

No, I could get sued for that.

Hi, I'm Lizzy, and I'm the superhero that's going to save your lives.

Perfect.

I bet you're wondering what's going on, right? I'd be concerned if you weren't. Let's start off with the basics. Hi, my names Elizabeth and I like sunsets and long walks on the beach. Okay, no, I'm just joking around, don't start asking for my email. I'm a superhero, or I could be one at least. I am the only human who has powers. How do I know? Let's just call it my spidey senses because that's way more fun than saying that I hacked into the government data to see if there was any others like me.

I remember hearing stories of heros like Superman, The Flash, Green Arrow, and the rich guys who grew up to be heros like Batman and Iron man. Every kid wanted to be a superhero. I guess I just wished hard enough because one day I woke up and I was floating ten feet in the air surrounded by an electrical force field two miles from home. That one was hard to explain to my parents when I came home at four o'clock in the morning.

I could say that my powers just magically appeared one day, but really, I've always had them. I've just ignored them. For all you know, you have them too. We humans have been raised to regect anything that isn't 'normal'. If anything strange happened to you, you'd put it off as a coincidence wouldn't you? If you fixed a TV without really doing anything, you wouldn't think you had powers. If you started a fire with two sticks, you wouldn't think you had powers. If someone listened to you without thought, maybe just once, you wouldn't go and try to take over the world would you? That's exactly how I was and oh how I regret it. Just imagine how much better middle school would have been.

I'm getting off track. Okay, I was explaining the whole catchphrase thing up there. So, once I got home from my power discovery fiasco, I decided that I was going to be a superhero. Who wouldn't want to be one? What does every superhero need? A catchphrase.

Now that I've explained everything, I think, let's zap you back to the present. I can do that by the way.

I've got my catchphrase, I've got my costume, I've got my powers, now I just need to find some bad guys.

I'm going to have to thank my mom later for those sewing lessons. I peiced together a hero outfit, much like catwoman, and it looks fantastic. I went with a Black Widow style and stuck with the color black for my outfit. Okay fine, I looked up how to make Black Widows outfit so they're exactly the same but I have purple hair instead of red so there is some difference.

Unlike Black Widow, I do have powers. Lots of them. It was scary, and confusing at first, but I made a list of all of them so it's a bit easier to keep them all sorted. I have the regulars: super strength, flying, and super speed. I have the cool overly used ones: telekinesis, electricity, invisibility, and shape shifting. I have the less used ones: perfect shot, like hawkeye, ability to breath underwater, super jump, and dream walking, I've only seen it used in SpongeBob. Then I have the odd ones. I have the ability to dance, yes dance. I am the best dancer in the world even though I hate it. I can turn inanimate objects into other things, like turning a rock into a car. I can make food appear out of nowhere, one of my personal favorites. Last but not least, I have the power of the animal kingdom. All animals are my friends, I can turn into any animal, and I can make any animal characteristic appear on me whenever I want.

Do you see what I mean by 'A lot of powers'?

It took a year and half to discover all of my powers. I have the powers of pretty much every superhero out there. You may think that it's so cool right? Wrong. It's stressful, exhausting, and confusing. It takes a lot of brain power to control every power. It's like Hulk controlling his anger, except instead of hulking out, he grows wings, turns into a wolf, starts shooting lightning out of his eyes, turns every rock into a flamethrower, and starts doing the cha cha. Do you see the problem here?

Now that I'm doing conplaining and explaining, it's time for the real action. Sit back, relax, and take a five hour nap because this is going to take a while.

What do you think so far? I've got a couple more chapters written but I was hoping for some feedback before I continue. Should I keep this book going or should I end it? Thanks for reading! Live long and prosper and may the force be with you.

Ps. Don't start yelling at me that those are from different things. I know.

Oh yeah, hold on. Before you go, what do you think of the bio? Should I change it? I think I should change it. I'm going to change it. Yeah I need to change it. It's terrible. I'm terrible. Everything's terrible.
