Two brothers sick of an uncaring world decide to change it... in completely different ways. One brother decides to become a hero and help people the traditional way, joining a team of heroes in hopes of convincing them to care about people besides themselves.
The other becomes a villain in an effort to contain the damage caused by others.
Both heroes in their own right, one's just a little more violent and is fine with murder-as long as the victim deserves it.

The Heart and the Hero
When a weak superhero meets a morally grey supervillain, who shall triumph? The answer may be something none of them had ever expected. Lol this is my story! It is definitely cringey because I'm bad at dialogue, and the running gag of the story is that I will use every conceivable romantic trope. Honestly just please don't give up on it too quickly, I promise it gets better. It is gay. Also, if you showed up from Pinterest I love you. I will update very infrequently because I have a lot of stuff going on, but I'll get chapters to you guys as soon as I can, and I appreciate you guys commenting and sticking with it. Thank you!

Arch Frenemies
What is a hero supposed to do when her only healthy relationship is with her villian? For Galaxy Girl and Toxic, their entire lives mirrored in the grandiose rivalry of their fathers. Both playing their parts of arch enemies as the world expected of them; but what is unknown to the world is that behind the masks their lives are frequently isolated to everyone but each other. Galaxy Girl's often uncontrollable strength makes her a danger to fragile humans, and Toxic's radiation is deadly to almost everyone but her. Because of this, over the years, during their many epic battles, a strange bond was formed, one that made them neither friends nor enemies. But when a new and mysterious duo of villains blow into Stark City, fearlessly crossing onto Toxic's turf, and somehow managing to brutally murder Galaxy Girl, Toxic is left with little choice but to resurrect his foe and help her track down her killers in the most unusual way possible. #1 in #ProjectHero as of July 22 2019Complete

The Undoing Of Heroes | ✓
Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhellyComplete
