Tvtropes superpowered evil side12/28/2023 Ralph Chapman: It might if he killed a man in the process. Vince: If tomorrow your father robbed a bank, would that stop you from loving him? Vince is conflicted as his father was the reason that he lived long enough to undergo the procedure and was a generally great father. Archnemesis Dad: Maybe, Vince's dad is alive, apparently they Never Found the Body, but he's also Globe, a Super who took a FaceHeel Turn and killed a teammate.He can target it or let it encompass the entire area surrounding him. Anger Born of Worry: Camille's reaction when Vince almost gets himself killed getting her to heal him, just to put on a good showing in a test.Amnesia Missed a Spot: Nick's erasure, done deliberately to allow him to return to normal, but only if he earned it by being trusted and trying to protect his friends.It is implied that Chad was most comfortable around Shane, as Shane was the only person whom Chad could socially relate to. Chad had almost no social experience and was entirely focused on training, and Shane was similarly focused on training because Angela was always ahead of him. Later Angela and Chad start dating, and Chad starts to socialize a little.Ambiguously Gay: Chad never displays much interest in sex one way or the other, being totally obsessed with training, but he is noted to look completely out of his element when Angela bribes him into dancing with her, while he has a very close friendship with her brother, Shane, whom he's rarely seen apart from.It has been noted that with millions of Supers in the world, just about any power can be nullified or beaten by another Super's power.Even Roy, who doesn't like his dad much, has to admit that no one is stronger than Titan. Then he gets laid out in one punch by Roy's dad, Titan, who scoffs at the idea. In Year 3, during the attack on the school, a boosted Mook strongman is able to easily best Roy and then arrogantly claims to be the strongest man in the world. It took an entire team of supers to kill him. And even by the standards set by those professional trained supers, Globe was considered nigh-unstoppable. Always Someone Better: As badass and unusually powerful as the Melbrook crew and their classmates may be, they can't really hold a candle to professional, trained supers, which they learned the hard way three years in a row.Always Need What You Gave Up: As pointed out by Coach George when he kidnapped Hershel and Mary if Hershel was still a Powered he would have long since transformed into Roy.Still, this mindset seems very prevalent with the female population especially in regards to Vince, who is so non-aggressive with girls that many suspect he is Ambiguously Gay. All Men Are Perverts: It's averted for the most part and any perversion can be chalked up to a Hormone-Addled Teenager.The apple fell very close to that particular tree. All of them are therefore unsurprised when it's revealed that Globe was Vince's adopted father. All of the former Class of Legends describe Globe the same way, which is why his betrayal was so shocking to them.His faith in the inherent goodness of his fellow man is so great that he actually manages to make Nick develop a conscience. He's described as being unable to believe that not everyone is genuinely interested in helping other people solely for the sake of helping. This eventually leads to him being transferred to Lander's Eastern Campus as a last-ditch attempt to make something out of him with discipline. The Alcoholic: Michael becomes one in Year 1, partly out of his hatred for Vince and partly because no one told him that, thanks to heredity, he's more susceptible to it.Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super. These lesser super beings, Powereds as they are called, have always been treated as burdens and second class citizens. Because for every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must guard from even their classmates. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop student with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.įive of this years freshmen are extra special. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. The series is comprised of four books, each one representing an academic year. It has since been reformatted as a series of e-Books, available on Amazon (and free for those with the Kindle Unlimited subscription service). Super Powereds was originally hosted as a web-novel on DrewHayesNovels.
