''Superhuman'' is the prequel series to ''Literature/TheNewHeroes'' (or ''Quantum Prophecy'' stateside), which is written by Michael Carroll. Here we follow the adventures of Lance (a conman who was swept up into the world of superheroes), Roz (telekinetic sister to the telepath Max Dalton), Thunder (a sound manipulator), Abby (who is super strong and super tough), and Brawn (a blue giant).

The four books are:
#''Superhuman''
#''Ascension''
#''Stronger''
#''Hunter''
