NOW WITH TWO SHORT STORIES! 

FIRST STORY: A NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF GLASSMAN

It's time for a new kind of superhero . . .

It seems like a normal day (or rather night) in the life of Stor "Glassman" Restoren, a superhero with the power to repair things. Until he's repairing the shattered aftermath of a supers battle and encounters the unexpected...

(A 5,000-word original superhero short story, originally posted on the Tales of a Modern Bard blog.)

SECOND STORY: HOW TO CATCH A GLASSMAN (takes place before the first posted story)

Even superheroes have to pay the rent.

When Restoren "Glassman" starts receiving broken things to fix with his repairing powers, it may be just the job he needs. But not all his clients are as they seem, and he may find himself in a fix he can't...well...fix.

A Super Nobody (Spider-Verse x Male Reader) by Cryptic_Fiction

You know the story by now. With great power comes great I don't need to finish that. You've heard it to death; every universe has. But what if your universe isn't like the others? What if the reality of being bitten by a radioactive spider affected everyone? That's the world you subside in, a world full of Spiders; of course, with so many people swinging around, the idea of being a hero dwindles with each passing down with an already oversaturated market crime is at an all-time low. But just when you think your time in the spotlight might never come, a mysterious girl from another dimension on the run winds up on your backdoor, the fate of the multi-verse is at stake, and you're her only hope. Maybe for once, you don't have to be a Super Nobody. A remake of my old Spider-Verse story back in 2019

The Starlight Sentinels: The Amusing Story of a Struggling Superhero Team by JGrayDingler

A man, a woman, a boy, a girl, a demon, and an alien, all walk into a bar... THEY FIGHT CRIME! The Starlight Sentinels goes beyond The Watchmen's question of "Who would want to be a superhero?" by asking "Who would want to be a superhero if being a superhero was just another job people needed doing?" The Starlight Sentinels, that's who! They're not your traditional superhero team, and they're not the other guys either, nor are they the grizzled antihero type. Instead, they're just people who happen to work as superheroes in a world where being a superhero isn't so much a call to greatness as it is an eccentric career choice and super villains are just another problem that people try not to think about. Drawing inspiration from films such as Shawn of the Dead and TV series such as the Venture Bros, the Starlight Sentinels was crafted to be an amusing and occasionally action-packed adventure grounded by a diverse cast of humorous but relatable characters. You may laugh at their numerous missteps, but you'll also be cheering for these heroes and heroines hard-earned triumphs as well. Join this comedic costumed cabal in their debut adventure as they fight crime and battle the forces of evil anytime they're not stuck filling out forms for the police, trying to appease their overbearing corporate sponsor, struggling to gain recognition from an apathetic public, or arguing over whose turn it is to do the shopping in this hilarious tongue-in-cheek tale that takes on all things superhero! If you enjoy the first half of The Starlight Sentinels, you can pick up the full book on every major eBook seller, or order a printed copy from Amazon or Createspace.

Shocking Memories by Benjamin_Coe

A young woman wakes up in the hospital, with no memories other than the fact she had just been horribly injured in a fight, and she has superpowers. It's hard to be surprised by such news when it is the only memory you possess. Superpowers are just a fact of life at that point. The superpowers news turned out to be quite original for the rest of the world, which was entirely unaware someone like her existed at all. There is, however, an underground world of others like her, a criminal empire working toward something she had been trying to stop. But with no knowledge of what the villainous plan was, who these criminals were, or how to properly use her powers, things seem grim. She knows she is the only one who can stop them, and the only backup she has is a man who claims to have been her friend from before the accident. Will she be able to train her powers up, and stop the devious master plan before it's too late?

In the Wake of Heroes by MushroomFairy124

In a city where heroes are today's gods, Kiayah was born with nothing. No powers. No strength. No chance to stand among them. But when a battle between a hero and a villain shatters her world, leaving her parents dead, she is forced to confront a brutal truth-without power, she is nothing but a victim. The world pities her, labels her a tragic survivor, a helpless girl in a city of legends. But Kiayah refuses to be weak. Fueled by grief and an anger she can't control, she throws herself into relentless training, pushing her body past every limit. If she can't have powers, she'll make her own strength. She'll become something else. Because heroes aren't the only ones who can rise from the ashes. And Kiayah? She's just getting started. This book will be under work so it is not complete. The title and description will change as well. All suggestions are welcome as I'm learning my writing style! I'm learning and hoping this story takes off because me it's dear to my heart!

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")

All in a Blur by natfrancee

"...A few months ago, I got word you were still alive," He continues. "I put together a team of great heroes, to help rescue you. I had no idea what they'd done to you" He says, gesturing to your arm. You look down at your left wrist, sitting in your lap and you see your reflection staring back. You start to remember, You were in a training fight, testing a new serum they used on you, and your opponent broke your arm. There was no way to heal it fast enough, so they replaced it, up to your shoulder with one made from metal. "This isn't even the worst" "So, you remember?" "I'm remembering." This a story of a young girl coming from a tough place, learning how to be a teenager and becoming an Avenger. You see a lot of the Avengers and re-visit some iconic scenes, re-told from a new perspective. What kinds of things will happen to a young kid coping with past struggles and saving the world? Trigger Warnings -Light cursing -Drug Abuse/Suicide attempt This was my first story, so it's not good but read and give feedback if you'd like!!

Just An Ordinary Henchman (Yandere Superhero Harem) by UnknownFate25

Champion City, one of the greatest hotspots for superheroes and supervillains ever since thirty years ago, when super-powered individuals started to appear thanks to the rare genetic trait known as the S-Genome. So, who am I? A hero? A villain? Nope! Other than your lovely narrator, I'm unfortunately just a simple henchman. A super awesome, amazing, incredible... ...powerless grunt. At the bottom of the ladder, every day I work low-level criminal jobs for the high-powered supervillains of this city. To the world, I'm a worthless nobody. So, with that in mind, I have to ask. Why have these superheroes and supervillains become so extremely obsessed over me? Well, it all started with one wrong heist... I hope you're ready for a story of quips, obsessive love, action, comedy, villainy, and a lot of trying to stay alive! #1 henchmen - 11/7/2023 #1 supervillain - 11/10/2023 #1 yandere - 11/13/2023 #1 harem - 11/15/2023 #1 superpowers - 11/20/2023 #1 action-adventure - 12/16/2023 #1 comics - 1/29/2024 #1 hero - 2/18/2024 #1 of Top 10 in US - 11/17/2023

Roomies by BaguetteManOfficial

#1 in Gwenpool as of October 5th, 2024 #1 in Cable as of February 8th, 2025 ------------------------------ In which Deadpool needs a new roommate, Deadpool gets a new roommate, and breaks the fourth wall as he does everyday stuff with his new roommate. ------------------------------ No matter how many books I write I can never write a good description, so I hardly tried here.
