The fight for truth, justice, and the American way is rife with collateral damage. What happens when a husband and father rises from the ashes of that damage? Is he a villain? A hero? Or just a man looking for revenge?
Captain Awesome is a true American hero, and loved by nearly everyone in the city. But when he is called upon to stop a dangerous bank robbery things get out of control. Martin Mitchell watches his wife and son die as a result of Captain Awesome's recklessness in apprehending the robbers. Now, Martin's hate for Captain Awesome grows inside of him and the only thing on his mind is making Captain Awesome pay for their death.

Love-Love || OLD DRAFT
[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. Let's say this three-playered tennis match has more balls in the court than expected. Who'll win?
