Blue eyes and a rare gene combined make you special. Special in ways that comicbook superheroes are, secret and powerful and deadly. The only reason Lindy Marvin finds this out is because she- and 9 others her age- are some of them.
Sent to Super School, these so-called heros have a lot of work in front of them. Between training, new secrets, old secrets, never-meant-to-be-found secrets and a whole bunch of other annoying stuff thrown her way, Lindy has a lot on her hands.
10 heros.
5 real, 5 back-ups.

Default Genetics by BloodyBooMimi

Six teenagers. Genetically engineered. Organically weaponized. Publicly declared heroes, and privately ticking time bombs. The walking-talking equivalent of a biohazard weapon. The kind that reeks of sweat and streetlights and the unindominatable human spirit. The kind they wished they knew how to break. You see, they weren't born. Because life isn't as easy as crawling out of a womb anymore, with blood and serum and the warm exhale of a mother's love. No, it was far 'easier' than that. They were built - piece by piece, chemical after chemical, atom to atom - where scientists preferred fighting on which new type of atomic ray to experiment with next rather than the freaking Geneva Convention. Because, inside Helix Labs, lay the wasteland of glass and live wires and the unmistakable smell of a brand new, bioweapon. Was that a newborn cursed with a modified brain, heart, or muscle? Or did they prefer kidney, lungs or bone? No. Why? Because they weren't born...they were crafted, congealed, and set on a path of righteous fury. They were never given a choice, only the cold looming shadow of a power far greater than them when they decided to condemn the evolutionary design and man handled into existence their own path of 'heroism'. Now, these walking anomalies patrol the glass and grime skyline of Haem city, a place where chrome and corruption reek havoc side by side. Where sin and silicon are separated by a gap of letters and not materialistic gain. The mutagens call themselves saviours, the Authority calls them property and the villains refer to them as misguided. They were made to serve humanity, when they were never humans themselves. Welcome to the future, it's much colder than you think.

The Permutation by SaintCole

The people of Lancet Falls, Idaho are changing, and it's all because of an otherworldly light that only a few can see, but the changes are affecting everyone. Animals are dying, people are disappearing, and what's with the men in jackets twenty years out of date showing up in the dead of night? A homeless drunk, a twelve year old from the city, a fat extortionist, a high school science teacher, and a reporter are the first to feel its effects. They're able to do things that no human should be able to do, but will it be enough? Will their newfound abilities be enough to save the town from a threat to its very reality?

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

Special by chinochakanga

From super speed to telekinesis, everyone in Hope's world has special abilities. Through ill fortune, she is born without any. Her peculiar case is a medical mystery that warrants comprehensive research and countless visits to the hospital. Hope undergoes painful tests and unorthodox treatments to cure her of her unique condition and make her normal while grappling with the pitfalls of being different at school and leaving in the shadow of her multi-gifted younger brother. Will hope ever gain her abilities? Is there a place for her in a world where great emphasis is placed on special abilities? Special is an abstract look at the pressures of meeting the societal mould.

The Unnatural by MikeLemieux

The world is changing. Scientists discover a new gene, pushing mankind further into evolution. The Darwin Gene. Triggered in adolescence, children start displaying special powers. With no understanding of what these abilities are, or where they came from, fear grips society. Children have no control over their newfound gifts and start to become a danger to themselves and others. Addy and Peter Decker are brother and sister. Peter has the ability to control and alter time. Addy can absorb the abilities of others, making her the most powerful of the Darwins. As society burrows deeper into chaos, and a new virus spreads, Addy catches a glimpse of a dystopian future, and a deep-rooted conspiracy to ensure that it happens. Addy and Peter, along with the help of others, must confront their abilities, rewrite destiny, and fight for a future worth saving.
