Social Themes
A book much funnier than the title would imply... Archer Dearden thought he knew himself. Social outcast, unconfessed anger issues, dead parents, an awful excuse for a brother. Those were the parameters that served as the confines of his world. Well, and also one other-teensy-thing. He had powers. Not like Superman or Spidey-god knows he would never be what you would call responsible-but closer to Magneto or . To put it simply, his powers were not of the 'good guy' variety. He saw himself as a monster, fell right in with what his father told him of the repercussions of exposure. He hid, kept no friends, pushed people away. Until a series of things happened, one of which was named Laci Greene, and the only reason she wasn't as gone as everybody else was the fact that she just wouldn't let him go. Now, confronted with conflicting parental identities and a violently shifting self-perspective, what will Archer do when confronted with a danger he just can't face alone?

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")
