What constitutes a hero? What exactly is a hero?

People have different ideas of what makes a hero. Mariana Hadley had saved a lot of people in her time. She did not consider herself a hero. In a world where Tony Stark goes flying around in his Iron Man suit to save hundreds of people with his Stark Industries mini-missiles, 'hero' is a difficult title to live up to. People expect grandeur, skill, flashing lights, cool names and dorky outfits.

Mariana Hadley had none of that. Mariana Hadley had 36 bucks to her name, two outfits and no official place to call home. But damn was she determined to be remembered. Even by just a few.

Maybe someday by everyone.

Shimmer *The Seattle Superheroes* by BearBrooks
40 parts Complete
What makes a superhero? Is it the power? The fearless, possibly reckless bravery? The cool suit? The mask? Or is it just the person? Shimmer has been a superhero for as long as she can remember--she knows nothing else. She has a suit, is both fearlessly and recklessly brave, and knows how to throw a pretty good punch. More than anything, she has power. As a matter of fact, she has more power than she knows what to do with. Enough power that hardly anyone questions why she doesn't bother to wear a mask; after all, who would be foolish enough to antagonize someone who could level a city? Widely regarded as the best hero in the world, Shimmer's white suit and wild red hair are known around the globe. All of that fear and respect don't exactly leave much room for friendship, but, in Shimmer's mind, that's just as well. She's completely devoted to her work, and she works alone. With so much power, she's never needed anyone's help. Until now.

Subject E305 is not a normal girl. At the age of two her mother left her on the streets of New York City with nothing but a box. She waited for her mother to come back, but she never did. A few days passed and nothing happened. The little girl was scared and hungry, but she never moved from her place. On the third day a van pulled up while the child was asleep in the box. The people on the van saw an opportunity and took the little girl from the streets. The people were HYDRA. They took her to their labs and when she tried to escape they would beat her. They ran test on her, a lot of test, until she became deaf. But that didn't stop them; they taught her lip reading as well as sign language. Then something happened. The girl was finally free after 9 years of imprisonment. She walked a long way until she found a city. The very city she was dumped off by her mother. She looked up and there were buildings taller than anything she had ever seen. The 11 year old started to walk around and found a corner. She sat down and rested her head on the wall. She couldn't believe it. She was finally free. Disclaimer: most characters are for marvel studios. Warning: There are a bunch of bad and inappropriate words.

To All Those Brave and Lovely by olivemartini123
53 parts Complete
Nora Reynolds didn't ask anyone to save her. And yet, Tony Stark seems to be intent on doing so anyways, becoming her legal guardian after her father dies in the middle of a terrorist attack (a death caused by one of Spiderman's mistakes) and taking her to live with him in the middle of New York. Her new life reminds her of the Cinderella story that she and her friend Eden used to dream about, but she had never pictured it happening like this- with the news calling her THE ONE WHO WALKED AWAY, and the nightmares, and the only person she can really talk to being Tony's dorky intern Peter, who she spends quite a lot of time with. Nora tries her best to navigate her new school and her new feelings for Peter, even with the continued mixed feelings she has toward Spiderman (guilt, blame, gratitutude) and the new group that seems intent on taking down the avengers, one member at a time, and doesn't mind taking her with them. Everything you recognize was created by Marvel. This is a fanfiction.
