I'm The Other Guy In A Superhero Love Story by thedoctorgonepale

"You're a nice guy, I wonder why you don't have a girlfriend, fufufu~?" "You're in your twenties and you haven't been with a girl yet!?" These are questions I commonly get, and I get it, I'm a decent-looking guy who's got a fancy job as a Detective. But in my defense... IT'S NOT THAT EASY TO GET A GIRL!! At least that was what I used to say until I somehow ended up dating an actress. Though that sounds like a dream come true I'm afraid she'll dump me soon since.... her Ex is a superhero and well... we all know what happens with guys like me... But I'll be damned if I don't try and make it work! So what if her ex has superpowers?! I have.... A stable job...? Oh boy, this is going to be hard...

different (Trilogy: BOOK 1) ✔ by dakotah1212

I am not your typical 16 year-old girl going around obsessing over boy bands and clothes, I can't obsess over those things on a daily when everyday I'm in fear that the government will take me in. I have superpowers. Not the superpowers like fake magic, real superpowers. Everyone would do absolutely anything to be me. But, I would trade my life with yours cause' I hate having this fear everyday. People fear me though. They're afraid that I'll hurt them, but would never hurt a soul. I believe that everyone is important in this world and can make a big difference unlike me. Telling somebody their a "nobody", "nothing" or "worthless" is something I would never do. I am different than anyone off the street. I have now been put in a spot that I have to fix by myself or the whole country could be in danger. But if I do this then I'll be the one taken in by the government. I am Nicole Patterson and I am in danger. START DATE: 12/29/16 COMPLETE DATE: 09/09/17

Half Hero ⚡️ {Superhero Adventure Scifi} by WhiskeySeattle

I should be dead. At least, that's what the government officials told me in the super-secret lab where I woke up strapped to a mattress in a windowless room...Sound problematic to anyone else? Like I told the psychos experimenting on me, I've got zero clue how I got my new powers, but I'm sure-as-shit not going to let them turn me into a deadly weapon (or squeeze me into a spangly jumpsuit). Problem is, I'm not so great at controlling whatever the hell it is I've become...Not to mention I'm on the run from my country for a teensy-weensy act of treason while being chased by a shadowy masked mute who may or may not have superhuman abilities too (but is definitely stupid hot under his off-putting disguise). I'm only 25 and my career choices have been limited to hero or villain. WTF?!? Indie Author Fangirl Moments: 1. SHORTLISTED FOR A 2021 Watty (WTF?!?) 2.

Written in the style of and inspired by Japanese anime. In a world much like our own, but one where magic and superhumans have existed since the very beginning, there is a silent war being waged. In the near future, in a dystopian society, superhuman mercenary groups, free of the control and influence of any world governments. seek to fight back a now global threat known only as, Silent Death. Almost entirely on their own in a impossible battle against an organization that has sunk its teeth into every facet of government and leadership across the world, their victories have been few and far between. However, one such independent group is now on the verge of discovering a new eligible member, one who's potential may just be enough to turn the tide and end the 3000 year long war.

My whole life just changed in one day. I was kidnapped by a scientist gone rogue. Experimented on with nanotechnology that could change the world as we know it. Not everyone survived these experiments. My system rejected the nano treatment, and whenever this happened, the patient died. Somehow I survived. Now I have to find a way to save my friend and several others that were taken with me. Things change when a new organization with intentions of taking all the power arises. I find that I have to work together with someone I thought was the enemy to save everybody. I learn the hard way that you can't save them all. My name is Shaun McGee and this is my story.

Code Name: RUSH (COMPLETE) by EchoRising

There isn't much time to explain, so I'll keep this short. There are three things you need to know: 1. Frank Colton's multimillion-dollar corporation injected my friends and I with an experimental drug that causes our worst fears to become our powers. Superpowers, if you will. 2. We have to complete a series of tasks in order to protect our families from his wrath. 3. We might not make it out of this alive.

Everyone has powers. They originated from a powerful god with immense power, who bestowed these abilities upon humanity because it had grown bored with the world and decided to give itself some entertainment, bestowing powers upon every human in existence. That would be passed down through generations, It runs in their blood. It has been normalized, but there's a twist, their bodies can't handle these abilities and it kills them slowly each time it is used, and with People dying. Groups of people abusing their power, everyone is slowly realizing that these powers are becoming a huge problem for everyone. Still, no one can speak on the matter as for there are rules and everyone must follow them and worship the god and the powers given.

Started in the light, pulled to the dark ( a Sharkboy and lavagirl story) by The_Toddler_Online

I know what you must be thinking. Why not name this title ' the adventures of Sharkboy, lavagirl and whatever my name is'? Well because that would of ruin the whole story. For this is not really my story, i was not created as a dream. I'm an actual human and I did not come from max, nor planet drool. I was born on earth like every other normal child there is. The only thing different about me is that I have a special power. Although I don't seem to know about this power, nor understand how to use it I'm a main target for everyone. I can rather save everybody from a terrible event or destroy everyone within seconds. Because of this I am very weary around people and shy too. As I try my best to blend in it becomes harder and harder each day to keep my self from exposing this energy. The worse part is I don't even know I have it! Well not until later on. Until that time comes I have a lot more to fix to be prepared for it. Highest Rank: #16 in lavagirl

𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕥𝕪 | p.p. x reader | book two. by wildsupernova

Months after the events of my first year in New York, things have returned to a small bit of normalcy. No supervillains to deal with, unless you count an overload of homework and teenage hormones. Instead of tackling super enhanced villains and ultra smart criminals, we're all tackling heartbreak and lost relationships. As painful as it is, it's the most normal I've felt in a while. It wouldn't stay that way for long. No, something always has to come along and turn the normalcy I once knew into something so insanely crazy I never would have imagined it happened to me. And now I have everything to gain and nothing to lose. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP RANKINGS: #167 in science #63 in please #294 in space #408 in superpowers #3 in electrocution #330 in infinitywar
