What's cooler than a distant future ruled by giant corporations where the Earth is a long ago deserted wasteland? Superheroes of course!
It's the end of an era. The superheroes have vanished. If any remain (of course they do) they're in hiding. Like the X-Men! But they're disappearing. Being picked off, one by one...
This is a typical superhero story, X-Men style. For other works this Troper, Maltor Drey, will never finish, see Histories Of Qarkunta and Full Moon Files.
Tropes!
- An Ice Person: Icicle, but she's a Red Shirt who gets killed in the prologue.
- Big Bad: Michael Blackman.
- Cyborg: Nicola.
- Face–Heel Turn: Flame and Scarlett
- Heel–Face Turn: Scarlett comes back.
- Playing with Fire: Flame, The Mentor. Which does seem an unusual power for that role...
- Sharing a Body: Nicola and Scarlett. Also, kind of, Two Siblings In One.
- Shock and Awe: Skye's power. Cause lightning's cool.
- Time Master: Scarlett.
- Token Minority: Hey, you can do this with aliens! Minor character Martin is Eqiuan, and Connie is a halfling.
- Welcome Episode: Since Nicola is new.
Hey, is there a trope for computer/technology powers? I'll have to look into that.
