Champion City, one of the greatest hotspots for superheroes and supervillains ever since thirty years ago, when super-powered individuals started to appear thanks to the rare genetic trait known as the S-Genome. So, who am I? A hero? A villain? Nope! Other than your lovely narrator, I'm unfortunately just a simple henchman. A super awesome, amazing, incredible... ...powerless grunt. At the bottom of the ladder, every day I work low-level criminal jobs for the high-powered supervillains of this city. To the world, I'm a worthless nobody. So, with that in mind, I have to ask. Why have these superheroes and supervillains become so extremely obsessed over me? Well, it all started with one wrong heist... I hope you're ready for a story of quips, obsessive love, action, comedy, villainy, and a lot of trying to stay alive! #1 henchmen - 11/7/2023 #1 supervillain - 11/10/2023 #1 yandere - 11/13/2023 #1 harem - 11/15/2023 #1 superpowers - 11/20/2023 #1 action-adventure - 12/16/2023 #1 comics - 1/29/2024 #1 hero - 2/18/2024 #1 of Top 10 in US - 11/17/2023

[2018 WATTYS WINNER] Louise Johnson was an African American teen living on the brink of the Space Race. Her hobbies included studying the twinkling night sky, ignoring her racist classmates, equally fantasizing about both killing and kissing Patricia Morris--and oh, using quantum teleportation to her own advantage by the means of a perplexing silver Ring. That was, until she found herself knee-deep in a heap of files revealing that the newly-formed NASA was hiding inconceivable research from Project Vanguard that should've destroyed the entire planet worse the than progressing Cold War. Now obviously, the forty-eight states of America are still intact, and so is our beloved Earth. But why? Fortunately for humanity, Louise Johnson and her diverse team of science-loving geeks turned the imminent apocalypse into just another facet of American history. And this is the entirely illegal story of how. [©2017-2018. All rights reserved.]
