Oliver Storm is just your average American teenager. Well, unless you count the fact that he's actually White Lightning, sidekick to the notorious superhero Captain Impossible.
	But after a faulty save that leaves Captain Impossible dead, Oliver is left to be his city's savior in spandex.
	And following in the footsteps of Washington DC's favorite super isn't as easy as you'd think, especially when the culprit behind his death is closer than he thought.
	With Oliver starting his junior year in high school, things become more complicated. Trying to balance saving the world and school can be hard enough, but throw in his overprotective mother and a villain by the name of Delinquent who Oliver can't shake, being a hero by day is going to be impossible.
	As Oliver starts to unravel the truth behind Captain Impossible's death, he finds that maybe not all villains are bad. And maybe Delinquent and Oliver have more in common than they thought.

Heroes at Heart by TwylaGrimm

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")

Damsel[ed]: No Rescue Required by HeroBreaker

***FINISHED! AND FULLY UPLOADED*** "Your friend was right," the villain says, tilting her chin towards the moon. My mouth's on autopilot now as I mentally uncurl from the fetal position. "Uh, first, why do you know my friends? Second, about what?" Her eyes light up like jack-o'-lanterns. "You're adorable when you're scared out of your mind." ***Now a Wattpad featured story*** Having superpowers is awesome, unless you're Angelos Fibbs. When a kidnap attempt leaves him with incredible superpowers and a price on his head, this one-liner-loving dork must choose: hurt or be hurt. Supervillain or damsel in distress. He's a lover, not a telekinetic black-leather-wearing killer, and he wants to keep it that way. The fates of his best friends hang in the balance, and if he can't face his biggest fears, he'll become a pawn to a powerful underground whose dark intentions could destroy his city, and possibly, the world. Life just got messy for the clean-freak super. WARNING: Mild swearing, and a 'spit' load of dorky alternatives. Nerdy humor, cliffhangers, plot twists, fights, and a love triangle so complex it's more or less a love blob. May cause spontaneous shipping. Also includes enough Star Wars references to make George Lucas cringe. Read at your own risk. COMPLETE *** Highest ranking #1 in Adventure on July 8, 2016

Breaking the Soundwave by Jmarie_Freiberg

What if a superhero fell in love with a supervillain? Would they risk everything-their code, their team, their entire world-just to be together? Or what if a loyal sidekick found himself caught in a love triangle with his hero and a dangerous villain? What kind of chaos would that unleash? Ariella, daughter of the legendary hero *Red Bolt*, has spent her life living in his shadow. But after years of rigorous training, she's carved out her own identity as a formidable force in the hero world. She's determined to prove she's more than just the child of a legend. Then there's Lucas. Ariella's faithful sidekick, skilled in archery and combat, always at her side. But Lucas harbors a secret: a crush on the very woman he's sworn to protect. Torn between duty and desire, he's caught in a web of loyalty, longing, and unspoken tension. And Dominic. A teenage supervillain with the weight of his father's twisted legacy pressing on him. As he juggles high school, family secrets, and his own growing powers, Dominic faces a life-altering choice: follow in his father's ruthless footsteps, or defy everything he's been taught and become the hero he never thought he could be? In a world where heroes and villains aren't so black and white, trust is a luxury-especially when it comes to love. *"Never trust a guy in spandex, especially if he has a cape, a secret identity, and an unhealthy obsession with superhero comic books."*

Is He a Hero? by xBerkarton

50 years ago, hundreds of meteors pelted the earth. Those who managed to find and touch a meteorite were granted a special gift, superpowers. In the following decades, these "super-soldiers" were used as weapons and soldiers for the next world war by their respective countries. In the year 2090, 20 years after the end of World War III, teenage orphan Leon Meinov is granted powers of his own. With rising tensions across the country and the appearance of gifted individuals using their powers for evil, Leon must learn his powers and what he wants to use them for as he navigates his way through life in post-war America. (No, there are no Marvel,DC, or My Hero characters but the movies, shows and comics do exist in this universe)

Resisted Attraction by anniejo05

Everything in me felt drawn to him. He was water, and I was lightning. And when we worked together, it came as a great shock. -.-.- "I don't trust you." "And I don't trust you, but we have to work together if we want to live." -.-.- Rose (or Rosabelle) Parker is working for an association to bring villains to justice. As a high ranking super, that should be her job right? But, what happens when the association isn't all that it seems, and a greater evil is upon her? Maybe her arch enemy had it right all along? -.-.- Notice: This is my personal work. Do not copy or steal, please. Also this a first draft, so I understand there will be mistakes. Please politely let me know if there is something I should fix. Please enjoy the story!

Super•Villainous by WhatTomfoolery

"I've been looking for you." There was an unexpected rasp to his voice, a hint of desperation. He stretched out one hand, as if to brush it across my cheek, or perhaps wrap it around my throat. Oddly enough, I didn't know which option frightened me more. *+*+*+* Lily Burdett has an unfortunate gift for getting herself into tricky situations, but her luck is especially bleak the day she finds herself in the destructive path of the city's premier supervillain. When he grabs ahold of her, she reacts without thinking and stabs him twice in the shoulder, only surviving the encounter thanks to a nearby hero who intervenes on her behalf. Unfortunately, her villain vows to get even. Everywhere she turns, he's there, and with each bizarre encounter more doubts fill her head as to his true intentions. *enemies to lovers/slowburn
