[Male Reader x Marvel] Being a hero is a hard task, and not because of tough enemies, or the threat of death, but because it was about making a choice, a choice to take responsibility into one's own hands, and strike out for what they believed was right. In a world filled with far-out aliens and hellish demons, killer androids and super-powered maniacs, being a hero was even harder. From a young age, [Y/N] always had a keen understanding about what he believed was right and wrong, that people who hurt others for money and fame or out of sadistic enjoyment deserved punishment, that justice was necessary, and without it everything would fall apart. The death of his mother by the hands of some rogue gunman only solidified his resentment towards those he considered to be the scum of society. He had always wanted to be a hero, like Captain America or the Human Torch, from the comics he had always read, front to back. Men who held the power to change the world for the better, and weren't afraid to do what was right, despite what obstacles laid ahead of him. However, unlike his heroes, he held no superpower to help him on his path, no super-strength or speed, hardened skin or flaming skull, setting the rookie vigilante up for a bitter struggle. And yet, on a day that would have appeared just like any other, upon the seemingly unimportant bite from a strange, discoloured spider. On a less-than-interesting field trip, he would be granted the powers needed to fight for his convictions. the ability to now truly make those who hurt others pay for their actions. He made a promise as a child that he would make the world a better place, a world where people like his mother wouldn't have had to die, and he intended to follow through on that promise to the very end...

(I do not take credit for Better Call Saul or any of its characters. This story contains some foul language, and some descriptions of the cartel/violence. This contains many chapters and is still being written, so please be patient!!) After Hector Salamanca's sudden health decline, Lalo Salamanca travels to Albuquerque to run things- and he decides to bring his 22 year old daughter Esperanza along for the ride. Esperanza and the cartel's money distributor, Luis Varga, develop a stronger bond than they would like. While things in the cartel get grittier, Lalo gets more suspicious of his daughter's affairs with Luis. How will Luis and Esperanza manage their feelings for each other whilst Luis deals with the grief of the death of his older brother, and Esperanza desperately tries to prove herself to her father? (This story takes place during seasons 4, 5, and 6 of bcs. Most plot points are the same to the show, except in this universe Lalo has a daughter and Nacho has already passed away, and his younger brother Luis is here to replace him. PLEASE do not be disrespectful, this is just for fun, and to fulfill my joy of writing an action/romance in the bcs universe. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!) There are plot twists, character development, and most importantly lots of emotions!

In a world owned by Vought International, being a "Natural Born" hero isn't a miracle-it's a death sentence. Ruby Rose was supposed to be the company's greatest secret: the biological daughter of Queen Maeve, born without a drop of Compound V in her veins. For fifteen years, she lived in a gilded cage within Vought Tower, trained to be a corporate product and a scripted savior. But Ruby's power-a displacement speed that leaves red petals in its wake and a mysterious silver light in her eyes-can't be controlled by a boardroom. When the "Red Blur" finally breaks free, she finds herself caught between the cold-blooded pragmatism of Billy Butcher's "The Boys" and the escalating obsession of a humiliated Homelander. From the high-stakes boardrooms of Vought Plaza to the gritty underground of the Supe resistance, Ruby must decide what it truly means to be a hero. In a civil war where gods can bleed and corporate lies are the only law, one girl's "simple soul" might be the only thing capable of stripping the Godhood from the monsters and igniting a revolution that Vought never saw coming.

Lucy MacLean was prepared for many things in the wasteland: Radroaches, Raiders, even the occasional Ghoul. She was not prepared for a quantum anomaly to drop her 30,000 feet above a Chicago that wasn't a crater.

When she meets Mark Grayson, a rookie hero struggling with his own alien legacy, the spark is instant.

PROLOGUE // Before Nay She took down four of them before they got her arms. The fifth came from behind - a neck lock, the kind that reads resistance and tightens to match it - and Ruby went to her knees on the corridor floor with two agents flanking her, weapons raised, and a silencer plate pressed across her mouth before she could spend her breath on the girl's name. Two agents had Hani by the arms. They dragged her toward the pre-chamber hatch with the speed of people finishing a task. Hani did not struggle. She looked back down the corridor the entire way - her whole face fixed on Ruby, only Ruby - and her expression was not fear. It was the specific concern of someone far more worried about the person watching than about what was happening to herself. The hatch opened. They threw her through it like something with no further use and sealed it behind her. The dark was total. The cold came all at once. Hani drifted in the weightless black, untethered, the pressure already working at the thin skin of her face and her hands. There was no up. There was no floor to find. She looked in the direction of Ruby - the direction she had last seen her, through the hatch, through the corridor, through everything between them now. Ruby on her knees. Ruby who conquered all, who had never in Hani's life been on her knees, making that sound behind the silencer plate. She will be okay, Hani thought. Ruby is always okay. The cold reached her fingers. Then her face. Then the edges of her thinking. She felt it then - warmth with no source, pressing in from every side at once, deliberate, enclosing her. Something in the pre-chamber had decided, without asking her, that she would not be cold. Below the ship, turning slowly in light that belonged to a different sun, a blue planet waited. It did not know what was coming.

Much Fact, Little Fiction. They say the truth is stranger than fiction. In Mike Miski's world, the truth is a Jackson Pollock mess of rebellion, survival, and high-stakes consequence. Before the federal audits and the Second Chance logistics of 2026, there was the Detroit Bunker. It was a world of raw, electric energy, underground punk shows, and life lived strictly on the edge. But falling down the rabbit hole has a price, and Miski has spent forty years paying it in full. In this visceral, 40-chapter memoir, Miski navigates a non-linear landscape of memory where time is distorted and the stakes are life and death. From the drug-fueled chaos of the 1980s to the cold reality of a federal interrogation room, "Living in My Own Private Rabbit Hole" isn't just a book-it's an uncompromising portrait of a generation that refused to play by the rules. Inside these pages, you'll find: The Detroit Underground: A front-row seat to the grit and noise of the Bunker scene. The High-Stakes Hustle: Navigating the Alphabet Agencies, international utility bonds, and the legal incidents that follow a life lived sideways. A Masterclass in Redemption: How a Superstar of the underbelly automates a second chance and finds meaning amidst the detritus of a past life. Equal parts a testament to personal struggle and a vivid work of surreal art, this is non-fiction reimagined. Whether you're here for the true crime, the punk rock history, or the story of a man who looked the Secret Service in the eye and lived to tell it-one thing is certain: Prepare to fall down the hole. You may not return the same.

This is a currently experimental narrative piece where the Brigadiers of the Rainbow Brigade are presented in their descriptive 'Card' formats. Imposing and stocky, simple and direct. Bruté does not care about intellect, school or eloquence. His fists are eloquent enough as they challenge the titles others give to themselves. As an apex predator from a different form of consciousness, he ventures into the humanoid form with eyes unbiased by the human coil, making him imposing and surprisingly caring to those he learns to call family. Start at any card and consider this non-linear storytelling. Enjoy! ✨
