#superhero idea

Superhero oc who runs their own fanpage. Not because they are a narcissistic, but because if they are known as said superhero's biggest fan, no one would think they are the same person.

"Potential man" but like, a super powered person that forces the Potential Energy of an Object to catalyze.

All your Body just fucking explodes as he forces your the Chemical Potential Energy in your Cells to synthesize or break down in less than a second.

The Villain is pinned to the ground and Gravitational Potential Energy is increased.

You know what kind of “Post-Superhero” content I wanna see?

I wanna see a show or comic or whatever where the main character is a young, jaded, and cynical kid who gets superpowers. And he knows that it’s all a big sham. That these “superheroes” are actually a bunch of assholes who cause more problems than they solve. That they’re corporate shills and sociopaths who parade themselves around in spandex like its some kind of fetish. Especially that Superman knockoff. He knows the truth. He goes into the superhero community knowing that. That he knows how it works. That he’s better than these Silver Age wannabees.

Except... he’s wrong.

When he actually gets to know these heroes, really interacts with them, his misconceptions start crumbling down. Yeah they aren’t perfect, they’re people, no shit, but they really are what they claim to be. They really do fight for all that ham and cheese. They care, sometimes too much.

Turns out this worlds superheroes really are heroes, or at least try their hardest to be. They fuck-up, sure, but they aren’t malicious. They try. And more than that, they believe.

And that Superman knockoff? Is he actually an alien infiltrator and conqueror like Omniman? Is he a corporate sponsored sociopath like Homelander? Is he secretly some sort of monster?

No. He really is that goody two-shoes heroic nerd he looks like. He believes in people. He loves people, and he never gives up trying to make the world a better place.

And this kid, this edgy loser, feels every second of it. He thought he understood. He thought he had it all figured out. He thought cynicism was wisdom, and contempt was power. But he was wrong. And to make it worse, they forgive him. These heroes he scorned. They get it, that it’s hard to believe in heroes nowadays. And yeah, the world sure as shit ain’t black and white, but it never hurts to try and make things better.

They don’t cast the kid out. They don’t bash on him, they don’t scorn his arrogance and fear.

No. They do what heroes do. They help him. They teach him. They inspire him.

They teach him to believe that a Man can Fly.

Ok hear me out, a superhero with superhuman intelligence, BUT it’s all emotional intelligence. Can they hack a super computer? Absolutely not. Can they convince a supervillain to change their ways because this is an unhealthy coping mechanism? In minutes.

A Robin pastiche that is AMAB (starts off Cardinal themed), but later transitions (becoming Rose Finch themed).

Slowly building a superhero universe.

Terrible Superhero Idea of the Day: Man Rat

By day, Manfred Rattigan is an ordinary middle school science teacher, but by night, he is Man Rat, defender of Junk City’s streets! His powers all stem from the fact that he is a human sized talking rat. He does not stop being a giant rat when he’s out of costume, but still insists on wearing a mask and living a double life to preserve his identity. The people of Junk City have collectively decided to just let him believe he has a secret identity, including his villains. It just...seems impolite to correct him, honestly.

For various reasons I’ve been thinking about a superhero comic center around cleaning product mascots. And as I wrote this, it kind of got away from me. Like, the main superhero duo would be Mr. Clean and Billy Mays/someone who looks like Billy Mays from those early commercials from Oxiclean (since oxiclean, to my knowledge, doesn’t have a mascot). And their sidekicks could be those mascots from the scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner commercials.

Except the twist would be that Mr. Clean is actually evil! Or more like he wants to take the whole cleaning/superhero a lot farther than just saving the day. Like Batman from the Justice Lords (the alternate universe Justice League).

Wounded by the betrayal, Oxiclean starts to abandon the superhero way, wondering was it worth it, did they do the right thing. Until the scrubber sidekicks help him remember what he was doing it all for, to see a brighter, cleaner future. 

They try to stop Mr. Clean but alone they can’t succeed. Which is why they need help, but not from any other superhero character. But from regular anthropomorphized cleaning supplies, like sponges and duster and brooms and mops.

The climax peaks as their plan falls perfectly into place, Oxiclean about to take the final blow that would end Mr. Clean’s tyrannical order but, before the punch can hit, he stops an inch shy. And Oxiclean wonders, is this the right way to do things. Mr. Clean went to far but, what is he doing? Solving everything with violence? Taking out one powerful figure so that another can take their place? And he wonders what should he do, what does he want to do?

He backs away for a moment, to overcome by the decision he now has to make. Briefly he wonders that, if he takes down Mr. Clean, could he take over? He was sure to have support from everyone who had helped him to that point, and he was confident that he could make the right decisions. His thoughts stop, pause on that moment, could he make the right decisions? Looking back at his former partner trying to recover, the choice he wants to make becomes clear to him, as clear as a window cleaned with Windex. 

With one giant leap forward, he hugs Mr. Clean, crying over their different opinions, the divide that drove their partnership into the ground. Wishing for a world in which problems didn’t exist, so that they wouldn’t need to fight ever again. He had no idea what he should do next, all he knew was that he wanted to take some time and cry.

And Mr. Clean bruised, battered, and beat up from their fight, suddenly hugged by his enemy loses the will to fight, as the memories of who he’s fighting flood his thoughts. He wanted to make the world a better place, he never wanted to fight his best friend. He doesn’t hug Oxiclean back, he stands there motionless, pain etched into his face, thinking about the path that lead him there, thinking about the fact that even knowing the pain he’s cause Oxiclean, he still feels no remorse. Only knowing that, moving forward, he can’t continue down the path he chose that one faithful day, the day he betrayed Oxiclean, because every step down that path would be more painful than stepping on broken glass.
