Xander Mendez isn't sure he knows what's real anymore. Yesterday he was sure he was a superhero protecting Kingdom City along with friends, but now he was being told all of that was made up. Xander isn't a superhero. He's a patient in a mental institution. Everyone he thought he knew is someone else. His best friend is his short-tempered hatful roommate, the girl he loved who he saw die is his therapist, and his friend the vigilante badass is a lunatic stuck at the mental age of nine. Nothing seems right. Maybe Xander really was a mental patient. Maybe he did make it all up. Maybe he was crazy. Meanwhile, in the world Xander thinks he made up, a heinous villain is trying to take over the city with a severely addictive drug, a vigilante is having second thoughts, a hero is keeping his love and nemesis captive, and an agent is coming to terms with his past. And the city's only hope may be a speedster stuck in a prison of their own creation.

Xander Mendez is living the dream. He has the most amazing girlfriend in the world and is a superhero. Life could literally not be better. Trevor Rossi has been the CEO of his father's company for three months now and he's only inches away from catching his father's killer. April has been interviewing the villain X for months now and she thinks she's finally understanding how he thinks while discovering herself in the process. Celeste is finding herself falling for her study partner while also fighting for her turf with a new villain in town after her prize. Mischief is what this new villain calls himself, and he's seeming to turn into their biggest threat yet. A non-super with an array of guns and other trinkets who seems to be way too interested in Momentum and Artic Frost. And with the growing shadow of the old villain X over the citizens of Kingdom City, the stakes get even higher. And it turns out maybe they're all connected more than they thought.

su.per /ˈso͞opər/ (noun): 1. A person who shows exceptional ability or powers. 2. (Of a person who uses powers) a superhero or super villain. Xander Mendez wants nothing more than to be a superhero. Like, who wouldn't want to save their city with extraordinary superpowers? Trevor Rossi wants nothing more than to be like his father. A powerful figure with the city under his fingertips. April Watson wants nothing more than to be seen as something more than a damsel. She wants to be more than a powerless girl surrounded by righteous heroes. Celeste Moctezuma wants nothing more than to live with her career path without a certain pesky hero getting in her way. Four people all connected in a city renowned for its legendary supers. When their lives start turning into the plot of an A-list superhero movie, things go crazy. Suddenly Kingdom City has a new superhero and many new villains on their hands. Sometimes superheroes only make the world more complicated.

Oliver Storm is just your average American teenager. Well, unless you count the fact that he's actually White Lightning, sidekick to the notorious superhero Captain Impossible. But after a faulty save that leaves Captain Impossible dead, Oliver is left to be his city's savior in spandex. And following in the footsteps of Washington DC's favorite super isn't as easy as you'd think, especially when the culprit behind his death is closer than he thought. With Oliver starting his junior year in high school, things become more complicated. Trying to balance saving the world and school can be hard enough, but throw in his overprotective mother and a villain by the name of Delinquent who Oliver can't shake, being a hero by day is going to be impossible. As Oliver starts to unravel the truth behind Captain Impossible's death, he finds that maybe not all villains are bad. And maybe Delinquent and Oliver have more in common than they thought. *companion novel to Damsel in Distress series*

Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhelly
