1. The Backup Superhero:

If you had the chance to be a superhero, would you? Even if you were a backup superhero, doing all of the work and getting none of the credit?

Becoming a superhero isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Let’s be realistic, people don’t have superpowers. But if you have enough determination to make it through training, you have a chance to be the modern-day superhero, stopping one criminal at a time…or doing everyone else’s job and getting none of the credit.

After Tanser girl comes to terms with her non-celebrity level status in the superhero world, someone else from Level D decides it’s their moment to shine, shaking up the entire system, while leaving her to pick up the pieces.

2. The Original Superheroes:

Every Superhero League needs an origin story, but who would have thought it would have been about a barkeep named Frank?

When Frank finds corruption within the Police Department, everything he thought was true starts to unravel.

Enlisting two other trustworthy officers to help him uncover the mystery, Frank's path goes where he never thought it could.

3. The Backup Who Cried Wolf:

Backup superhero Dwighter's hopes and dreams felt dead in their tracks the day he was placed as a Level D superhero. Among the superhero community, he is known as the drunk backup superhero that no one can count on.

One night, however, Dwighter's luck changes when he overhears two backup superheroes discussing a plan to cross over to the criminal world. The only problem is, when Dwighter tries to tell Tanser Girl what he overheard, he's questioned and speculated as to how drunk he was when he overheard it.

Now is Dwighter's time to step up and uncover the plan a few wayward backups and criminals made that could disrupt the government and superhero system itself.

At the end of each book, readers will also discover bonus content and hierarchy charts pertaining to The Backup Superhero Universe.
