Mkay, so I semi-pitched this idea when I started writing my Realm of Lousy Characters short story, but here it is again. (Link here if you want to read it) The Realm of Lousy Characters, Intro Part 1
The basic concept is a collection of truly awful superheroes is pulled into a team to try and defeat a dastardly villain. These superheroes are likely very aware of their shortcomings in the interest and originality department. I've toyed with them being "sentient" characters, or characters that are aware that they are being written by different authors. We'll see if that works or not..
This storybook is intended to be humorous and fun. At the moment, I'm not entirely sure where I want to take it, but I would be very welcome to ideas.
I've never done a storybook before, so I have absolutely no idea if this is a workable storyline, but I would love to create something like this alongside all you brilliant brains out there.
Here's a short blurb that I wrote while working on this idea.
A dastardly shadow is looming over the city of Megapolis. News reports run nightly, full of thefts, murders, burgularies, and threats, and no one has been able to stop the villains who call themselves the Malevolents. The police have been scattered, barely able to protect the city from gangs, much less this new, much more dangerous threat. Every good citizen fears to walk the streets at night, afraid of encountering the mysterious, unpredictable masked figures.
This villainous threat has gone on for too long. The desperate cries of the innocent have roused the attention of a very special group of superheroes: the Mighty Metro Monitors.
Welcome to the world of Lousy Superheroes
Thoughts? Cries of abhoration? I welcome cheers and boos alike.
