With great power, comes great responsibility. But Patrick Lawson discovers that even odd powers come with their fair share of responsibility. He may not have pulled the best power from the deck, but he's going to make the most of it, using his abilities to help his city.
A rag tag group of misfit heroes join forces to help defeat The Visionaries. A group of misguided youths, following the twisted vision of a megalomaniac, and his own roster of super powered minions. An ongoing story, with a new installment every Friday.
Two Percent Power started as a short story, published in a collection. Since I wrote it, I have been constantly coming up with more story ideas involving the world that it takes place in. The protagonist was inspired by conversations that I used to have with my brother and our friends, about super powers with interesting drawbacks. Those conversations spawned so many character concepts, that I decided to dust them off, and expand Patrick's story to include them.
I'm hoping everyone enjoys this lighthearted story for fans of comic books. If you like what you read, please vote for this story. I also invite any and all feedback. Thank you!

The perfect timing (In Editing)
I'm not like wonder woman, supergirl or catwoman. The only similarity we share is that we all have an extraordinary ability and are females. Many people would say having superpowers was a gift from god and the best thing that could ever happen to you. But not for me, being able to freeze time was more of a burden, because I couldn't control it and it had the worst timing to appear. I also didn't think about being a superhero and rescuing the world from the bad. The only thing I want is to be left alone and get over with my last year of high school. But of course everything came different and it all started with me attracting accidentally the attention of Reece Matthews. (cover made by Cjc8357)Complete
