Immediately Forgettable
Terry Laine has the world's worst superpower - no one can remember who he is the second they lose eye contact with him. He's learned to live with it with a sense of humor and a constant feeling of loneliness. After he foolishly finds a way to use that poor excuse for a power to rob his bank, he winds up finally getting noticed...by the CIA. They train him and then, naturally, forget him - leaving Terry on his own to stop a megalomaniac and save the world (and maybe even get his beautiful coconspirator to remember him).Complete
The Iron Guardian (A Human x Anthro Superhero Story)
A 22-year-old human boy builds a suit of armor, testing it only to inadvertently cause himself to escape the Earth's atmosphere, drifting off into a deep cryonic sleep, after tens of thousands of days in this frozen state. Then, after what feels like a long time drifting in space, he wakes up, entering a planet, believing he is re-entering Earth's atmosphere. However, when he lands roughly on the dunes of a beach, he realizes that the world he has entered is not Earth at all, but a society filled with anthropomorphic beings. Thinking this might be the only thing that exists, he is soon confronted with an attack in their city, where they are saved by superheroes who happen to be anthropomorphic creatures with superpowers, adorned in costumes that symbolize themselves. It seems unbelievable that they are real. In my world back on Earth, they were fictional and mythical icons found in comic books, movies, and TV shows. After rescuing a superhero from an encounter with a monstrous reptile-like creature in the city, he retreats to the woods. He hides for about a year, living and trying to gather as much knowledge as he can about this new world and the superheroes it contains. He believes he is living an easy life, away from the foreign society. But after saving a school bus filled with anthropomorphic kids from a disastrous fall, ensuring they would not be left behind, he is discovered again. However, at his long-awaited hiding spot, he was in the woods. He was greeted by an anthropomorphic tiger who happened to be the director of the superhero protection agency (SPA) and offered him a place in it.

As Many Times: As It Takes
Survival of the fittest is a concept long outdated by modern society, it becomes clear to see when the actions of certain individuals are observed. To pick just one example would be an arduous task to anyone but those who are familiar with Michael "Mike" Torsson, a man who seeks to keep himself to himself but lacks the basic essentials needed for independent living. He does not lack physical capacity and whilst he lacks mental capacity, his lack of independence is as a result of his laziness. However, all of that changed when he discovered a badly hidden secret located in an obvious place. A badly hidden secret that led to the notice of the society that he so badly wanted to reject. Having been thrown into the limelight by powers he didn't want nor should possess, in a toddler being given a WMD sort of way, he struggles to adapt. Pushing him along his unwanted journey are his best friend, their tailor, a very tall woman of colour, and a short chav. Cursed with horrible personalities and a world rigged against them by a passive-aggressive in book author, they fight to survive against the odds. It is worth noting that the average IQ is 100, which means that for every Einstein and Hawking, there is a Mike Torsson: A man with the eyes of an eagle, the heart of a lion, and a lifetime ban from Chester Zoo.Complete
Survivor
Survival. They call it survival of the fittest. A phrase sewn into our bones, repeated in textbooks, whispered by men in white coats who believed evolution had chosen them. Adapt. Endure. Outlast. Be the perfect specimen. When I was a child, I thought I was untouchable. No blade could cut me deep enough, no grief could truly break me. I walked through life with the arrogance of immortality, certain that fate would always bend in my favor. I believed I was special. And I was. God help me, I was. But survival isn't a gift. It's a curse. To live is to carry the weight of everything you cannot forget. And I survived the greatest war this world has ever known. I survived World War II. I wish I hadn't.

A Idiots' Guide
Four strangers. One wrong email. And a global crisis they have absolutely no business being involved in. When a retired teacher, a mall "tech expert," a stressed-out single mom, and a conspiracy podcaster accidentally get looped into a classified government thread, they do what any reasonable people would do - panic, lie, and pretend they know what's going on. Within a week, they're being hailed as national heroes for "foiling" a cyber-attack they didn't even know existed. The only problem? The government now expects them to do it again. The Idiots' Guide is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy about ordinary people caught in extraordinary stupidity. It's part spy thriller, part social satire, and all chaos - proving that sometimes, the world doesn't need geniuses... it just needs idiots with Wi-Fi and A personality
