gets
its title from a national magazine covering a present-day world where extraordinary
superhumans lead ordinary lives.
It's
not that everyone in this world has super-powers and isn't special, or that humans
have taken superheroes in stride,
or that those heroes are forbidden to use their
powers by a government.
It's
just that, in this world, the heroes did their jobs too well.
They
rid the world of supervillains.
All
of
them.
That
made it easier for human authorities to deal with regular criminals themselves.
So,
what does a superhero do in a world without supervillains? (Well, without
supervillains who are trying to kill them and/or conquer the world.)
How
does any superhuman fit into human society -- and how do humans live with them
on an equal footing?
Can they?
These
are the stories -- adventures, comedies, romances, and more -- of people caught
up in these SuperHuman Times.
