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")

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!

[THIS IS AN OLD DRAFT. Please read the rewrite that is currently up on my profile] ............ "Look, man, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to rob the bank but I'm broke and I need the money." "If you need money, go get a job!" "I have a job!" "A real job, not blowing up the city -" "This is a real job, Stormy. It keeps you employed. I don't have to pay TAXES." ~ Super Storm is your typical superhero with stunning blonde hair and high morale. Gravel is your typical supervillain with a slight obsession over a certain someone's beautiful blonde hair and a mission he doesn't want to complete. Now let's say Gravel meets someone who uses the same shampoo as Super Storm. Let's say they bond over tennis. Let's say Gravel's sidekick isn't particularly fond of what's unfolding.

Damsel[ed]: No Rescue Required by HeroBreaker
41 parts Complete
***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

The Undoing of Sidekicks | ✓ by earlyatdusk

Sidekicks. The sad, ever-suffering excuses of heroes - a title you tack onto someone who's trying, just not hard enough. Few can shed this sad label and pave their own path. I intend to be one of them. The heroes are crowding enough of the spotlight, in my opinion. It's time for me to step up. I just know I can do it - I'll be the undoing of sidekicks. ≈ standalone extension to the undoing of heroes' universe. ✎ completed cover: @narwhelly
Breaking the Soundwave by Jmarie_Freiberg
6 parts Ongoing
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."*

Aren't you ever tired of the same old super hero story? The hero is cool looking with bulging muscles, and always wins. Like, always. Even if the situation is dire and it all seems lost. All the sudden, freaking deus ex machina. And the villain is either some super nerd, or a loser. Do you have any idea how stereotypical that is? Hero=jock/bully. Villain=nerd/loser. But not this time. This is a new story. The Life of a Villain. Part 1: This is a story about Leonardo Sutton a.k.a Knifeslinger, an 18 year old villain out for revenge for his family's death. He goes undercover at Ravenswood Academy where he meets new friends and old friends, and an evil plot that could shake the world. Part 2: Life was finally starting to settle down(ish) in the few days of freedom, but of course normality can't be something for ex-villain Leonardo Sutton. When an alien invasion is imminent, Leo must be Knifeslinger again, and work with Team Amazing to stop the Disastrous Nuclear Anthropoid and his planet of people. #1 in #supervillain 7/5/2020
