''The New Heroes,'' also known as ''Quantum Prophecy'' Stateside, is a trilogy of novels by Irish author Michael Carroll. The books are set in a universe where superheroes and supervillains were commonplace until 10 years previously, when every one of them vanished. The books detail the adventures of the first of a new generation of hero's, Colin, Danny, and Reneta.
At times, the series subverts the conventions of the superhero genre but at other times gleefully embraces them.
The three books are:
#''The Quantum Prophecy (The Awakening)''
#''Sakkara (The Gathering)''
#''Absolute Power (The Reckoning)''
Also has ''Literature/{{Superhuman}}'' a prequel series set 26 years before the events of book one.

!!These books provide examples of:
* ApocalypseHow: Towards the end of book three, in order to [[spoiler: stop a global conflict, Reneta freezes the entirety of the planet into diamond.]]
* ActionGirl: Renata is a superhuman who defeats evil by turning into diamond. I believe she qualifies.
** Stephanie Cord is this, especially in the later books.
* ActionMom: Caroline continued to fight as Energy after she gave birth to Colin. Even after she loses her powers, she can still take care of her fair share of mooks, stand up to Dioxin and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking make everyone in Sakkara do his or her homework.]]
* AntiHero: [[spoiler: Max Dalton]] is an UnscrupulousHero throughout the first book.
* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: Danny, after the first book and a half]]
* BadassNormal: Solomon Cord the {{Main/Iron Man}} [Expy] counts.
** Razor is another example.
** Solomon's daughter Stephanie also qualifies.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Titan has a large letter T on his chest.
* CloningBlues: In the third novel, it is revealed that [[spoiler: Yvonne and Mina are clones of Ragnarok.]]
** In the epilogue of the third book, [[Victor Cross has a room full of clones of Colin
* DarkAgeOfSupernames: Too many to mention, but the worst offender is probably [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifter]] Facade.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Razor's real name is [[spoiler: Garland Lighthouse]]. He won't tell anyone his middle name.

* FullNameBasis: Max is almost always referred to as Max Dalton by the narration. The characters however, usually use his first name.
* GadgeteerGenius: Solomon Cord is definitelyone of these.
** Razor unexpectedly morphs into this from Sakkara onwards. [[spoiler:He ends up being the driving designer behind the new Paragon armor and Danny's mechanical arm.]]
* HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler:Yvonne, at the end of Sakkara.]]
* HumanPopsicle: Renata was frozen as diamond for 10 years.
