If you has the chance to become a superhero would you? Before you say yes, think about what you would do as a superhero on pretty much the daily. You would have to keep your powers a complete secret from everyone at all times even to your significant other, you would have to train all the time with your powers and not, you would also have to repeatedly put yourself in danger to save whatever needed saving at the time and you might even have to fight people you know. I know, I know, "but nobody I know would ever do anything wrong or super villain-esque not my family, friends neighbors or even those jackasses from high school." But let me tell you something, you never know who is a villain or a hero in your story. But in mine at least, my villains are, or well were, my best friends and neighbors since we were toddlers. And to answer your questions yes they are serious supervillains, and not the cool ones like Loki, the Joker, Kylo Ren or even Mojo freaking Jojo. He is just someone that is pretty much me but a boy, with better control of his powers, and is a mega-asshole that wants to kill my new friends and colleagues, and possibly me with his and his supervillain friends powers.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
