[[http://inmydaydreams.com The Legion of Nothing]] is a WebSerialNovel about the Grand Lake Heroes League of Grand Lake, Michigan, a team of teenagers with superpowers.
They are the children and grandchildren of the members of the original Grand Lake Heroes League, a group of former World War II soldiers who were part of an elite unit of superpowered soldiers. They came home after the war and continued to use their powers to combat organized crime and other villains, powered and otherwise in the 1950's.
The lead character, and the one through whom the story is told is Nick Klein. His grandfather was the GadgeteerGenius known as The Rocket. Among his inventions, a suit of PoweredArmor equipped with numerous weapons and a rocket pack (yes, fans have noted the similarity to IronMan). Nick isn't really sure he wants to take up the superhero mantle, but a group of his friends decide to revive the League, and Nick in turn dons his grandfather's armor.
As a part conventional SuperHero story, part ComingOfAge story, ''Legion'' is highly effective. Its big selling points are its sense of humor and its very effective pacing. CliffHanger endings are not uncommon, but this is okay due to the timely update schedule.
