When I became a superhero, it was nothing spectacular. I just didn’t notice it until I actually paid attention. I was a normal kid, hanging out with my ‘friends’ when they gave me a slice of pizza they ‘made’. I’m not sure if it was a plot to kill me or just to scare me, but their little ‘game’ went wrong.

Next thing I know, I’m playing video games and I can see everything imprinted in my brain minutes later. If I think for a minute or two I can tell you the exact move I used on my third man in FIFA. Then I got to thinking, if I can remember everything I see-why not help others with my ability?

Sure, sure-you take one look at me and think-‘Wow that guy’s a douche.’ But I’m not that bad really. I have a sad sack attitude and I sure as hell can be overly sarcastic and a dick about things. Maybe people see me as the one that dyes his hair multiple times in a week’s span or just I dunno-a freak? The thing they don’t know-that freak is going to save your ass one day and you’ll never know it was him. I’ll get a secret identity, I’ll make a costume, save a bunch of people and shit, and who knows-I could be the next Superman.

That’s another thing. If I wanted to be a superhero, then nobody could know it was me. Superheroes would get taken advantage of and finally their secret would get out after falling for some girl they save or something. That’s a reason why I need back-up. I can’t do this all by myself. Saving the North, South, East, and West side of Sydney? Impossible for one person. That’s why I recruited Luke, or should I say Dr. Fluke. That hair gel thing was atrocious. Now, yes I admit that me stealing the hair gel and blaming it on Fluke’s older brother Jack was pretty genius. I can’t believe his mother thought my handwritten note was from Fluke’s brother.

Next, I recruited Ashton. Hiding out in his downstairs rec area was weird and if someone caught me-my secret would be out. He had to prove to himself that he was strong enough to save someone-that someone meaning himself at first. I rigged his weight set to drop at a certain time. Don’t ask me how, but I did. Ashton caught that barbell like it was nothing! I surprised myself on how that turned out. I see that Ashton isn’t the biggest guy in the world, but just imagine him going in to a fight with a huge guy and Ash ends up smashing his ass! It would be the ultimate play in the playbook. Man I hope I get an Emmy for this.

Last, but not least is Calum. I’ve known Calum for a while from school and I’ve seen him around town. He doesn’t really have an amazing superpower, but he looks like he knows Karate. That’s why I picked him to be in the gang. He has a tall lanky body that could fit into tight spaces to get who we’re saving. I know-I’m lame and think about superhero saving techniques way too much. I have way too much free time on my hands. I need therapy or something.
