[Male Reader x Marvel] Being a hero is a hard task, and not because of tough enemies, or the threat of death, but because it was about making a choice, a choice to take responsibility into one's own hands, and strike out for what they believed was right. In a world filled with far-out aliens and hellish demons, killer androids and super-powered maniacs, being a hero was even harder. From a young age, [Y/N] always had a keen understanding about what he believed was right and wrong, that people who hurt others for money and fame or out of sadistic enjoyment deserved punishment, that justice was necessary, and without it everything would fall apart. The death of his mother by the hands of some rogue gunman only solidified his resentment towards those he considered to be the scum of society. He had always wanted to be a hero, like Captain America or the Human Torch, from the comics he had always read, front to back. Men who held the power to change the world for the better, and weren't afraid to do what was right, despite what obstacles laid ahead of him. However, unlike his heroes, he held no superpower to help him on his path, no super-strength or speed, hardened skin or flaming skull, setting the rookie vigilante up for a bitter struggle. And yet, on a day that would have appeared just like any other, upon the seemingly unimportant bite from a strange, discoloured spider. On a less-than-interesting field trip, he would be granted the powers needed to fight for his convictions. the ability to now truly make those who hurt others pay for their actions. He made a promise as a child that he would make the world a better place, a world where people like his mother wouldn't have had to die, and he intended to follow through on that promise to the very end...

Everyone thinks the war ended when Captain America disappeared beneath the ice. They're wrong. There was another war. One no one remembers. One that was never meant to be found. Azul was only two years old when she was left to die-and found by the people who would become her entire world. They weren't heroes. They weren't saviors. They were something else. They raised her in the shadows. Trained her. Built her into something the world was never supposed to see. Until the night they were all taken from her.

A thousand years ago, they were their saviors. Today, they are nothing more than a bedtime story used to frighten disobedient children. The denizens of Etrea-powerful and breathtaking-have faded into oblivion, leaving behind only echoes of legends: tales of beings with platinum hair and deep purple eyes. But as the world of Etrea began to wither, a final hope was cast unto the realm where they were once worshipped-the world of men. Nolan has no memory of where he came from. Found as an infant, he was raised in the shadow of the lash, amidst the filth and hatred of a cruel Baroness's estate. To the people around him, he was nothing but a 'monster'-a half-breed whose face was partially masked by black, obsidian scales. He had no way of knowing that these scales were not a curse, but a powerful seal placed by his mother to shroud his divine heritage from a world that would see him destroyed. In a world where everyone is born gifted with a combat class and the spark of magic, Nolan appears empty. Devoid of any visible talent, he endures every humiliation in silence. The only light in his darkness is Lili-a girl for whom he is willing to suffer any depth of pain. Everything changes on the day a mysterious Marquis appears at the execution square. Rescued from the hands of his tormentors, Nolan is thrust into a world of grand politics, lethal intrigue, and murderous training. With every passing year, with every drop of sweat and blood spilled, the seal begins to crack. One by one, the black scales fall away, revealing an unearthly visage, while the power of two worlds awakens in his veins-a force the likes of which this globe has not seen for a millennium. Nolan must master the beast slumbering within him before the world learns of his existence. For when the Great War arrives, no one will ask about his scars. They will ask whether the god who has returned brings salvation... or total annihilation. Betrayal. Revenge. Legacy. The path to godhood begins with blood.

On the night the world burned, everything changed. The city of VAGG, a fortress against the wasteland, fell in a single, catastrophic moment. Fire consumed its streets. Monsters crawled from the ruins. And in the chaos, something far more dangerous slipped through the cracks. A child. Francesca fled into the desert, encased in a broken suit of armor and guided by a voice that refused to let her fall, hunted by soldiers and surrounded by creatures that should not exist, and carrying a secret powerful enough to reshape what remains of the world. Behind her, the flames still rage. Ahead of her, the unknown waits. And somewhere in the shadows, they are already searching. However, she is not the only survivor; another walks along the sand. Waiting to be found.

Junkrat vanished in the fallout, and in his place rose Fawkes Octane - a neon‑bright persona built from sweat, silk, and survival. Now Jamie is trapped in Maximilian's world of clubs, chemicals, and curated fame, every spotlight a reminder of the chains he can't see but always feels. The only constant is Mako, his silent, immovable bodyguard, whose loyalty runs deeper than duty and whose presence is the one thing keeping Jamie from being swallowed whole. Together, they're searching for a way out before Monte Carlo decides it owns them forever. Art was made by me on ibis paint.

In a hyper-commercialized near-future, humanity's greatest achievements-from Mars landings to first contact-are nothing but carefully manufactured deepfakes.
