“Everyone gets a cool power…” He sighed as he watched the large muscular man smile for the cameras as a man in red spandex is put in handcuffs, “Hercule have you anything for our viewers at home?” one reporter asked “Yes, just remember kids whatever power you have, you can always make society better”

Winking at the camera he shot into the sky leaving a trail of dust and cheering onlookers behind him.

“Yeah sure anyone can help people, just not me… that jerk gets his super strength and flight, his idiot wife gets to be flexible and here I am… stuck with my power”

Entering his apartment he threw down a worn briefcase and slumped into a large worn chair “sure my power isn’t the best, I mean I’m not gonna end any top tier villains, but for the everyday stuff like muggers or robbers I could help”

Picturing himself in an all white costume with a black cape he thought of times he’d tried to help “I even stopped that mugging last week, sure there was a mess for the police to clean up but it was better than letting him steal that kids wallet”

Chuckling to himself as he remembered the police officers face upon arriving at the scene “Now son I know you want to help but sometimes the best help is to just let the real heroes do their jobs” the officer had chided him but otherwise offering sympathy.

“Yeah the big boys in the league like their club to be exclusive, if you’re on your own helping they’ll make sure you end up like that crazy rich guy who dressed as a dog” as he switched on his television he pondered his life choices, from top of his class with a scholarship to any college of his choice to a simple office worker, he wasn’t sure what was worse, disappointing his parents or being a nobody.

His daydreaming of potential life as a hero was interrupted by a knock at the door “ugh it better not be” he thought opening the door “Hey, I’m sorry to disturb you my name is Doctor buzz” the tall man said, the only skin visible was his face from beneath a garish silver costume, plastered with a grin that said “I want something”

“Hello, no” he barked, slamming the door as he did a silver wand stopped him abruptly “Please sir, just hear me out, I am here to make a proposition that I think you will find very lucrative” rolling his eyes with obvious frustration “I have heard it all, from you, from the KS crew, and every idiot in-between, I am not interested” as he slammed the door he thought of all the people who had tried to use his power for, well not good stuff.

“These idiots really think I will join them, and their idiotic groups, what would mom say if she was just watching TV and she saw me with those morons and their little schemes”

Switching through local news mainly about other heroes saving the day he wished he had been born with another power, anything that would make them value his unique talents “I wish they’d just give me a chance, just one I’d prove I’m useful” again he sighed looking over his drawings of what he would wear

“I’ve even thought of a cool hero name, The Big O, the orgasmic avenger”
