Megillah Gorilla posted:Working supes - still the stories I want to read. I've had at least one character in a supers tabletop game opine that some schlub gets the proportionate strength of a border collie and their first impulse is to put on tights and a domino mask. One of the things that brought My Hero Academia down for me, really (Still a great show, highly recommend, but they didn't go anywhere I expected with it and that's both good and bad). Even the heroes that are explicitly themed after service professions are only ever seen doing their schtick after a villain does something that would be related to it, the only exceptions I can recall are the school staff who have all explicitly retired from heroing.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Working supes - still the stories I want to read. Kate Leth's Hellcat series that was too good for this world had her setting up a temp agency for people with powers, like why hire three people to move your giant couch when you can hire one person with super strength. And then there's Damage Control, who I don't think have powers, but work a regular job amidst a bunch of super heroes.

I remember in the Sam Nova book an early issue had his teacher say there was no such thing as aliens. Bitch, Earth has been publicly invaded by aliens like five times at least.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Working supes - still the stories I want to read. Makes me think of an RPG from the 90s called Underground, by Ray Winninger. It's an examination of many things, but one thing it does is treat 'superheroes' as regular human beings who are exploited for, and traumatized by, their powers.

Reed would probably actually choose the most pragmatic size for any given situation but being tall does have some advantages...or so I hear.

And then there's Damage Control, who I don't think have powers, but work a regular job amidst a bunch of super heroes. Didn't Damage Control also turn out that their boss was a supervillain? There was a webcomic about a girl with super strength who was on the path of giving up superheroing to find a better way. I remember she met a girl with super healing who could regrow any part of her body and, every day, went to hospital to have organs removed to donate to sick people. Sadly, it disappeared up its own arse very quickly. e: the comic, that is, not the girl with healing powers.
