The "Age of Heroes."

That's what they called it in the textbooks. I wasn't alive when it began, but I heard stories.  Stories of people suddenly discovering they could levitate when they tripped down the stairs, people getting a little too angry at their mobile game and shorting out their phone, people getting a case of 'hysterical strength' when their life was in danger but keeping that strength afterwards. 

About 0.05% of the human population developed mysterious powers very suddenly around the early-to-mid 1900s.

It was to say the least, chaos. Supers abusing their power to commit crimes, some supers donning masks and trying to fight fire with fire, and a few just trying to lay low.

But that was in the past. Nowadays, we have the Hero Agency, an international organization recruiting supers to help combat criminal supers. It had all the flair and pizzazz of the 'golden age of superheroes,' as some older folks might say, along with actual funding from the Hero Agency.

"Well then what's the story?" you may ask. Everything did seem to be tied up in a neat little bow, after all. Well, I guess that all starts with me.

Voltage by UltimateReader2004

A world with two types of superpowers. One would call this a young child's fantasy, but it is anything but that. It is one messed up conflict that leads to many untrue stereotypes tropes applied to those who were born without even seeing anything they do. Quirks, a power that nearly 60% of the population have. A power that allows a person to form a unique power, from being either strong or weak. It soon divides itself into multiple sub-types of it, leading to even more and more types of quirks. Conduits, people who have powers to alter the world around them. Any conduit powers are strong as the person gets stronger, as it takes up 35% of the population. These powers are wild and crazy compare to quirks, only having one type of its kind. Anyone would get a quirk, or two if they're lucky, or a conduit power only. But soon, very few people start to develop both quirks and conduit powers. And one young boy is one of these few people. See him go on a road of difficulty against the villains of the world while meeting many friends and people.

Book 1: Daggers of Heat by salem_witchtrialz

At the dawn of the universe, there were many forces that were so powerful and destructive that they caused a threat to any life that emerged. Lives were often short, as storms of these powers hit often and there was no way to defend against them or escape in time. To fix this, many wise and powerful people gathered together and discovered a way to contain these powers. The Weapons were created, powerful artifacts that contained and controlled the primeval forces. Their creators decided to lock them away so that humans couldn't use them for greedy or evil purposes, but once one of them took two Weapons in his hands and tried to run off with them, there was a massive explosion that killed all of the creators (but left all of the Weapons unscathed) and wiped away all knowledge of how to create them. Word got out of the Weapons and fighting soon broke out over control of them. The so-called Weapon Wars raged for hundreds of years and conditions on earth were just as bad as before the Weapons were created. Soon, a group of people realized this, and started their own army to gather all the Weapons in secret. They succeeded, and formed the Wielders (name subject to change) to keep the Weapons out of the hands of those who wanted to use them for evil purposes. They decided to take a different approach to the creators, deciding to use them for the protection of humanity, but quietly without anyone knowing they had them. After thousands of years with nobody but the Wielders seeing the Weapons, belief in them began to falter, and they eventually faded out of history and into legends, with many doubting that they ever existed at all.

Drops of Power: Abnormality (Draft 1) by FrownieFlubbs

What happened if our world had people with superpowers? It's no longer the comics you read...It's reality. You know you aren't normal when you find out you can move things with your mind, make people believe and see the impossible- or anything that makes you different and not fit in with anyone. Some people may think having powers are for the better good. While others just use it as a destruction of the world or an advantage to have things that others can't have without having to go through trouble, meanwhile those who are curious have better plans. A strange and devious company is out to stop people with these abilities with the help of someone who is mad with power, while two strange men who use an abandoned church as a base try and find others like them to stop this company from destroying them. Follow these people with extraordinary abilities that you may learn to love in the end or just want to throw them off the face of the earth- and one in particular who is dying to be special...

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

Are you crazy or something? Where did you even find this?" Pete asked. "I'm trying to figure out why they selected me to the super 7 project" I answered. "And why did you think you'd get an answer by reading fantasy books?" Nom questioned. "I don't know okay? I have to start somewhere. Also our library is full of these kind of books." "What you guys actually do in this class anyway? Do they teach you how to pass exams easily or something?" Pete asked "Also, whenever we ask anything about this class, you just make up some excuses and disappear" Nom joined him. "I don't know what we're doing there either. Everything about the project is weird" A/N :- This is my first time writing a book. So there can be lots of mistakes.

Bluejays by imcdna

Once upon a time, five people agreed to be part of a secret experiment. The experiment was meant to give them superpowers. They were promised that their loved ones would not be affected by the experiment, no matter what the outcome was. This was good, as the experiment failed--or so they thought. For one, it was her first child. For another, his second-born. For a third, her third. For the fourth, her fourth, and for the fifth, his first. They were all born with strange powers--powers that nobody could explain, and that put everybody around them in danger. Taken from their parents, the children were raised apart from society. They served a particular purpose. Nothing would go wrong. Until something does... or a lot of somethings.

Paragon by flamewings

COMPLETED, IN THE PROCESS OF EDITING To our creators, it was a simple plan. They would send us in, wait for us to take out the Prime Order Director, and then make sure we were never heard from again. By killing us, they would become heroes, and the world would see what we were capable of. People would see that the future was in Paragons like us. But they didn't realize just how powerful we were. They didn't count on us turning on them. Now the Prime Order wants to hide us from the world. They want us to forget who we are and what we can do. They think they can succeed in controlling us, but they won't. Our creators will come for us, but when they do, we'll be ready. They may have their machines and their weapons, but we have each other. And we have our powers. We are Paragons. We are Skyfall. In a future where genetic modification and robotic armor suits are commonplace, Katana Wilder just wants peace for herself and her adopted family. She wants to forget her years of training as an assassin and live a normal life. But when the company that created them comes back for revenge, she must put aside her reservations and fight for her freedom.

The tale of X by Kwalker2724

The universe run by Mothu is crazy. Powers run rampant in this world, and people can live over 10x longer than in ours. In this world, humans, over the course of millions of years, had made a reliable form of fast space travel. They had spread out and explored the universe, inhabiting and colonizing various planets. They found orbs, orbs that held immense powers. One of those orbs, the one of time was taken back to earth, as it was the first-place humans lived, so it got first dibs. Unfortunately, they tried to use the time orb to bring back people from the dead too many times. The orb malfunctioned and send the earth and its inhabits back millions of years to year zero. No one really cared and left earth stuck back in its past. The other orbs were taken and spread out between key planets, all of which were among the first planets to be colonized. They were renamed after the orb they received. Of course, peace was never going to last. People began fighting over the orbs that granted such wonderful powers. The fighting lasted for centuries. Around 500at (at=after time warp of earth,) Four people with enormous powers rose to the top and took all the orbs for themselves. They were eventually sealed away by a resistance group and the galaxy made a treaty to try to prevent such an event from ever happening again. Peace took hold once again and people freely traveled between planets. Security became more and more lax, people became more trusting again. All of this left the door wide open for one man to go on a mission to reclaim the orbs, in hopes of bringing back those four men...
