Realistic Superhero Novels & Stories

He thought aloud. He began thinking about what he would do if he had a superpower and how cool he would be. He ran for a few seconds with his hands stretched behind him, hoping he would run as fast as anime characters. He did hand signs like Naruto. Growled like werewolves and vampires. Make gestures like Doctor Strange. He did a lot of what superheroes do and for some moment, he was out of reality and forgot about medram and his parents. He forgot how people hated him and forgot how scared he was of the route he was commuting.

“But he's right, you know. It's not your fault, so stop blaming yourself. It's just another part of your superhero complex.” “Stop nagging me about it,” I said irritably. “I'm not a superhero. I can't even raise my voice to help a boy I grew up with.” “There's your origin story, Ashley. And with the amount of money you have, you could easily become a heroine like Batman or Iron Man. Both are very interesting, excellent choices.” “...Are you even listening to me?” “Personally, I would choose Batman. Tall, black, and handsome, am I right?”

I throw my hand out and shrug. I needed this. Time away from reality. The reality of the fact that I can't do this on my own. I can't protect my friends and family. I can't find.... a midpoint maybe with these new powers, if that makes sense. How do heroes do it or good guys in general? Well most of them end up dead. The spartans did it to make a point and most of all inspiration. Gerard said that you have to know thy enemy. That seems like a good start. But...who is my enemy? Is it the guy who keeps killing people who kiss me or is it the guy who wants to kill me? One thing is for sure, I can't handle both.

A superhero is meant to be admired. "So, is that what I am to you? A superhero, who always helped you got out of trouble and shits you've done? Who thought she have done those dangerous things to saved the man she loved, but he only thinks of her as his superhero? What a shame on her, she was used like a toy."

Afrah tried to laugh. "Well, he's not Idris Elba, neither is he Chris Hemsworth, but he's a close second." "How many times do I have to remind you that you don't have a shot with either of them? Both of them are major Hollywood actors, and one of them is an actual superhero." "I'll take my chances," she sighed dreamily as Afrah pulled over next to the restaurant. "Whatever," Afrah said. "Can you please go in there and get us a table? I need to make a phone call."

"In issue forty-seven he had to choose between saving the city or saving his sidekick!" "And he saved both because he's overpowered," Lake countered. "That's not a real struggle." I caught Lumina's eye and saw my own amusement reflected there. Somehow, in the span of minutes, we'd gone from discussing child soldiers and revenge missions to arguing about superhero comics. It was so perfectly, absurdly normal that I wanted to bottle this moment and keep it forever. "Alright, superhero scholars," I said. "Take your debate upstairs. You can continue arguing about Captain Justice's merits while you brush your teeth."

Caleb and Cooper started going at each other about whether superheroes were stronger than werewolves while Charlotte rolled her eyes at them and ignored them in between bites of her food. “I’m telling you,” Caleb said, thrusting his fork through the air for emphasis. “A werewolf in full alpha mode could definitely take out a superhero. “But what if the superhero had laser eyes? Cooper countered. "What then?" Charlotte let out another groan, stabbing at a chunk of food vehemently. “Do we really need to reiterate this? Just tell them werewolves are stronger so we can eat in peace, Bea."

However, I knew I could trust Frank and, again, it would be a pretty hard sell to convince someone that I could just 'stop time. "There's the superhero!" Brandon said, bumping fists with me as he passed by to take his seat. I turned to Frank with a content, yet curious gaze. Frank shook his head and pressed a finger to his lips, letting me know he didn't tell anyone. He and Josh also took their seats as Brandon continued on. "The man with the healing factor, the lightning moves and a kick that can knock down a tree! And he's not bad with the ladies." The lot of us chuckled, including Frank. It was nice to see him in a good mood again.

Adhara, don't say that. "I have to say it, one thing I learned from the few superhero movies I know is that they have to act fairly. Parker, the Spider-Man character, didn't stop a mugger because that wasn't his problem and it was that man who minutes later, murdered his uncle for stealing a car from him or something.

she tipped her hand. I raised a brow. "I didn't say I was a superhero... I said I have a condition. It's not particularly a good thing." She rolled her eyes slightly. "Yeah, even hulk thought he was sick, until he joined the good guys and started fighting crime. The only difference is, your monster comes out even when you're happy. At least we know not to make Bruce Banner angry. But with you, no one would know when they're about to be smashed."
