A superhero series of novels written by Jaime Castle and CJ Valin. The story centers around Sawyer William Vincent, also known as the vigilante Red Raptor (formerly Red Kite), as he tries to navigate his way through the world of costumed heroes as well as a crappy civilian life.
Tropes;
- Ascended Fan Boy: Sawyer was a huge Black Harrier fan even before meeting him.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Sawyer can replicate any skill just by seeing it once. An ability he inherited from Black Harrier, who is revealed to be Sawyer's father
- Distracted by the Sexy: Sawyer's mind becomes a jumbled mess whenever he interacts with an attractive woman. Not surprising, considering he's a hormonal teenage boy.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Sawyer decided to change his codename because most people don't know about the kite being a bird.
- Expy: Of the DC Universe.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Sawyer often internally pokes fun at the various superhero clichés in his life.
- Red Is Heroic: The Red Raptor costume is primarily red.
