A nice little superhero story

So here's my idea,

Four friends get a super power somehow [not sure how?] but they have no experience of fighting or anything like that. They're just teenagers 16-18 [up for discussion]. They're really big on like superheroes and things so they decide to make their own outfits and reveal themselves to the world. They have a bit of fun with it till some sort of villian appears which they are not experienced for - they were only in it for fun.

I was thinking if it was written with a light feel, with it being a bit comedy here and there. A bit of a spin off from Kick Ass, or The Avengers, but different at the same time.

Any one interested? I'm up for discussions and changes, it's just this Idea came to me and I thought it could be cool.

I'm up for it! I haven't seen Kick Ass or The Avengers (although I really want to!) but it looks really good :)

They're both amazing films, especially The Avengers :D

BUT you don't need to have watched them to write this, I was just giving pointless examples haha... I've not thought too much into it because I thought we could come up with ideas together :)

I'd love to join, if you'll have me. :P

Yeah sounds good!

Name: Jamie
Age: 18
Appearance: Average height, thin, messy brown hair, green eyes, tanned skin
Personality: A little arrogant, but a good friend, loyal and honest. He's a confident guy who's also very intelligent.
Power: Weather manipulation
Costume: Dressed in tight black pants, with a tight long sleeved black top, with a grey stripe going down the middle, and a grey belt.



Sorry, It's took me so long, I've been moving house but I'm back now, so lets get this show on the road!


We need to discuss how they get their powers, and what villain comes that they are not ready for.

I think the villain should have a power too, maybe got it the same way as them?

And I've been trying to think of how they got their power and nothings springing to mind other than like the usual - going in a lake that's polluted with toxic waste, a meteor falls near by and they go over, they just suddenly get them, it's genetic and they have inherited them of distant ancestors.

Any ideas guys?

@dancingshoes14 Sorry, just realised I ignored your question, well I was thinking different, is that all right? Just the usual powers - there's a good list on here if you need ideas:

well, maybe it's a school trip to a power plant? and the bad guy could be one of the workers who "died" during an accident that gave the kids there powers, and now he's back and wants to take over the world, so the undead can come back and take over.

Yeah, I like that, but maybe he didn't die. Maybe he was just affected by it as well and the power goes to his head. I don't know, I think if the undead start walking the streets it might get a little messy

Guys, I'm so so sorry, but, cause we've just come back from half term, my teachers are giving us loads of projects and homework, on top of my usual (a lot) of activities, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out :( I'll still keep an eye on this as I'll want to see how it progresses :)

@dancingshoes14 That's okay, good luck with all your work :)

And to @Netbook and @CrazyCay, welcome aboard!
