In stark contrast to how scarce Supers and Powereds truly were, Superhero themed restaurants, fast food places, and bars had practically oversaturated the market after the first decade of active Heroes. Supper with Supers, Capes & Cocktails, Masked Brunch, and Crunchy Champions were just a select few of the more […]
“Bad boys bad boys…whatya gonna do…whatya gonna do when they come for you…” Lilly sang along to the song as she drove down the dark country rode. Only her two headlights pierced the blackness as she kicked up dust in her wake. That was a good thing because it showed […]
The next few days passed in what Shane was beginning to learn was mundanity for the Hero community in Brooklyn. A small-time robbery of a convenience store involving two humans and one Standard Class strongman, not even gang affiliated. And another small skirmish between the Greens and White Boars that […]
