i have a death note superhero au living in my head but everything i make relating to it sucks so you all just have to trust me on this one okay…
some random stuff i’ve thought of for anyone interested:
light is more of a vigilante who goes by the name of “kira” (shocker). while he typically punishes villains, he does sometimes fight heroes who he deems unworthy of the title. his powers consist of super strength and flight. he gets stronger the longer a battle takes.
misa is a hero who goes by “misa-misa.” her identity is hardly a secret. she does a lot of model/acting work when she’s not fighting crime. her main power is being able to charm people, which she uses to her advantage against her enemies. while she likes to flirt with kira, she’s never used her ability on him.
there are a number of objects (usually jewelry of some kind) dropped by shinigami scattered across the earth. these give the people who pick them up very strong powers. the shinigami can only be seen and heard by the person who possesses their respective object. the shinigami will often stay within the object, but they can come out to protect their owner if they desire.
light and misa both possess shinigami objects. misa had powers before obtaining it. light did not.
L, watari, near, mello, and matt all work for an agency that specializes in superhuman related crimes. the police kinda hate them for taking their cases, but occasionally they work together when the situation calls for it.
L is sort of the head of the agency. near, mello, and matt are all sort of his students (that he makes go out and do jobs for him). his power is being able to transfer his consciousness to other people. he typically uses it to get into the heads of criminals their investigating, and figure out a way to draw a confession out of them (since “i saw it in their brain” usually doesn’t cut it) (even though L could just make the suspect say they did it, he finds it to be cheating and “no fun”). he also transfers his consciousness to watari’s body when he wants to see a crime scene first hand (which has resulted in many instances where his students have found his actual body to be practically a corpse).
watari has healing powers. like i said, L usually has him go on the field for him.
near is able to transform into different people, as long as he knows their name and what they look like. he attended a pretty good school before being selected by L to work with him.
mello is “immortal,” meaning he can’t die until he reaches the end of his own life span. L and watari have kept this a secret from him though, so he is under the impression that he has no power whatsoever. he was picked up by the agency when the rest of his family was caught up in a villain attack, and he was the only survivor among them (i wonder why).
matt is able to hack into technology using his mind. for example, he can view live camera feed by just thinking of the camera he wants to look through (though, he can’t be too far away from it). he attended the same school as near before being selected to work with L.
the agency is trying to investigate kira because he has been almost (and sometimes actually) killing villains and heroes, and he’s not registered in their database (which all people with superpowers have to do). light just thinks it’s cool he has powers and he can do something about those who hurt people. it’s basically just the plot of death note but everyone has supernatural abilities.
this is all a work in progress and i’m writing half of this stuff down as i think of it but i think it’s a cool idea?? i don’t know???
