Listless energy rests inside the bodies and minds of children, teenagers and adults alike. 


     A bored and pretentious city boy with a scientist father, Elias Lott is seemingly a perfect candidate to gain powers when the energy awoke. But with trouble stirring all around, it seems like revealing his powers would be a rash decision. Too bad an up-and-coming hero already witnessed him using his.

     As the catalyst to a chain of events that led to a world wide uproar, Elias must be the one to solve it.

City of Masks: Vigilante origins by TipsyWizard

Abominations, freaks, monsters; society has forever ostracized those who stand out. And when the discovery of a new mineral leads to people developing supernatural abilities, these "Abnormals" are treated no differently. However in the wake of a catastrophic event that left everyone wondering whether it was the end, everything changed. Now Abnormals are appreciated more than ever as an era of Superheroes was born, inspired by the heroes who saved the World! But this story isn't about those heroes, instead we follow Elliot Campbell, seventeen years later, in the waning years of Superhero popularity. Elliot is your average bystander who struggles everyday to stay above rock bottom, except for one big problem; he is an absolute loser, incapable of making correct decisions. That is until he is offered the power to change the course of his life forever. He could become an Abnormal or even more hopeful he could become a Superhero! Except that the way he would get his powers isn't exactly above board & the people he would be joining are fighting crime outside of the law. Is this the chance he must take to turn his life around or just another BIG mistake in a long long list of them?

Is He a Hero? by xBerkarton

50 years ago, hundreds of meteors pelted the earth. Those who managed to find and touch a meteorite were granted a special gift, superpowers. In the following decades, these "super-soldiers" were used as weapons and soldiers for the next world war by their respective countries. In the year 2090, 20 years after the end of World War III, teenage orphan Leon Meinov is granted powers of his own. With rising tensions across the country and the appearance of gifted individuals using their powers for evil, Leon must learn his powers and what he wants to use them for as he navigates his way through life in post-war America. (No, there are no Marvel,DC, or My Hero characters but the movies, shows and comics do exist in this universe)

Secret Super by lena_lazure

Kara is training to become a superhero, but she's stuck with a snobby sidekick, boring missions, and too many rules. Craving adventure, she jumps at the chance to work for a mysterious organization off the books. Zadia's hidden her powers for years so she doesn't have to become a superhero. She has bigger plans: to stop the pollution choking her city-planet, and she joins the same secretive organization to start taking things into her own hands. The only thing Kara and Zadia have in common is that they have superpowers. But for better or worse, they're stuck with each other as their missions get deadlier and the web of secrets about supers gets tangled deeper. Cover by @Ferret-bird.

A homeless drunk, a twelve year old from the city, a fat extortionist, a high school science teacher, and a reporter are the first to feel its effects. They're able to do things that no human should be able to do, but will it be enough? Will their newfound abilities be enough to save the town from a threat to its very reality?

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

But someone else wants Titan's secrets too and will stop at nothing to make sure that she alone possesses them. What would a world of men and women with superpowers mean for Biblical Christianity? Would they represent the next stage of human evolution, as many comic books, movies and television shows suggest? Or might there be a different explanation? Find out more in Johnny Came Home, an action-packed novel full of mad scientists, zombies, flying saucers, future technology, conspiracy theories, epic battles and Biblical truth!

Fusion by AnonymousEnigma828

The story of a guy with extraordinary abilities and extraordinary problems. He meets friends, enemies, and loses a bit of each. I enjoy writing and drawing comic books and making my own heroes and villains and I wanted to see how turning my favorite hero into a book would turn out. Feel free to give feedback, it always helps. Jack Carter is your semi-average guy. Sixteen, 5' 11, charcoal black hair, and a slight muscle build. The rich popular kid that everyone adores. Until his life takes a turn for the better and worse. Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.
