Mild-mannered Hal O'Grady is about as boring as they come, even for a Jr. High Volleyball Coach. When he finds out he has less than a year to live, however, he decides it's time for a major life change.
Rather than wallowing in self-pity or wasting his money on finishing some meaningless bucket list, he decides to go out while making a difference. Cashing in his recent inheritance and calling upon his two best friends -- computer hacker Vicky Montana and former Marine Barry Chase -- he resolves to die saving the lives of innocent citizens, disguised as a superhero vigilante.
The problem is, it's a lot harder than it looks in all those movies.

The Dark Obliterator
Homicide detective Jack Walsh and his new partner Thomas Harrington are tasked with solving the city's most difficult murders. Yet their most recent case - the shooting of a young, black male named Jordan Smith - has already been solved by a costumed vigilante named The Dark Obliterator. Fearing a sudden wave of impulse vigilantism, Jack and Thomas are tasked with stopping the self-proclaimed superhero, but The Dark Obliterator won't be the only force that Jack has to deal with. There are those in the force and in the community that agree with the actions of the masked man. And to make matters worse, it appears that The Dark Obliterator is rather selective in who he arrests. Does he selectively target certain races, or does he, like Thomas claims, goes after anyone who breaks the law? "The Dark Obliterator" is a gritty crime novelette about vigilantism as well as racial injustice.Complete
Super?
"Stop pretending to be an idiot, idiot." Ouch. It burns. "You're starting to sound like a dear old friend of mine," she adds, her tone implying that her "friend" isn't so much of a "friend" as a mortal enemy who she probably also dragged into an alley on multiple occasions. Because she must be a fan of alley-dragging. Theater major. "I bet that friend was super amazing," I retort anyway. "She'd have to be to put up with you." Oh! Snap! I grin like an idiot at my own joke, realize how uncool that is, and then quickly rearrange my face into a frown. "I'm sorry. I don't quite understand. You're supposed to be a superhero, so why are you threatening a fellow superhero? Isn't that kind of against our code or whatever?" "You don't have a code. Superheroes who follow codes don't drop off information about people's allegedly dead sons at their doorsteps and then run." Well, can't say she doesn't have a point there. -- After being framed for the horrific murder of Birchwood City's most revered superhero's six year-old son, Maya Waterman abandons her super-villain persona and finds herself lost without any sense of identity and purpose. Being hunted by a vengeful super is hard enough, but after her employer fires her and she's evicted from her apartment, Maya begins to become something she had prayed she would never become again- helpless. She needs nothing less than a miracle to save herself, and much to her surprise, she gets just that-- even if it entails her trying her hand at becoming a good guy for once.Complete

From Vigilante to Hero (Vigilante Izuku Fanfic) (Discontinue & being rewritten)
Izuku Midoriya was born with multiple quirks but couldn't actively use them because his body couldn't handle them plus he couldn't tell anyone or he would be targeted by many villains if word got out that he had multiple quirks. His mother and the quirk doctor were the only ones who knew this besides Izuku. Not only that but because none of his quirks would activate until later he couldn't prove to have one thus he was labeled as quirkless by his peers and school. Understanding the danger of having multiple quirks Izuku just pretends to be quirkless but trains hard taking up dance, martial arts, and gymnastics training his body for when he awakens his quirks. When he is 12 his mother died protecting him from a villain. Seeing his mother's death with his own eyes led to him awakening his quirks and his grandfather takes guardianship of him. After his mother's death Izuku chooses to become a vigilante who saves all those he can. After a few years later Izuku is 15 and in his last year in middle school. Everyone still believes him to be a quirkless loser but in truth, Izuku holds many secrets. Izuku wasn't planning on going to the UA Hero course instead he plan to go into their Support Course.
