Brand New Day
It was an age of Heroes.
That seems to be how it starts, yes? Back in the days when tales of heroism were relegated to books and tales of old around the campfire. Of telling stories to the children so they too, would dream heroes to battle against the beasts that rattled in their heads, to give them a sense of protection. Of safety.
But stories and tales simply weren't enough in the long run. No, after a while, stories and fairytales lost their luster. Now was a time for action. Now was a time for heroes.
There's a legend that in England's hour of need, a great and mighty hero would rise to defend it. While America has The Saint...England has me, King Arthur.
But even I know my limits. Even I know I cannot be everywhere and that the weight of a hero is tiring, but I do know there are good, honest people with powers the likes of which have gone unseen! Heroes in the making, an opportunity to make the world a better place.
And what better place to teach the young, budding heroes than an academy to show them the ropes of chivalry, of heroism, of honor?
Welcome, young one, for you have been accepted, to Camelot Academy.

Tropes:
- Atomic Hate: Ryan is this in one teenage package. And he's not shy about it.
- Cape Punk: The setting is not just supers beat up bad guys. The 'how' and things like ethics and image heavily affect play. Or, at the beginning, the how of surviving one's 'partners'.
- Enemy Within
- Inhumanable Alien Rights: Sue apparently is treated slightly better than gorillas at the zoo. And no one has done anything about it.
- No Biochemical Barriers: At least Sue does not have an aversion to dating Steven...
- Not Wearing Tights: While few wear tights, several of the students do put effort into costumes. Though codenames are rarely used among each other.
- Public Domain Character: Alot of them. King Arthur is the principal and Sherlock Holmes teaches investigations.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Well, one student tried to eat another, three have formed two flash mobs to irradiate and tear apart another, one tried to set the class on fire...
- Rain Aura: In "Liv v. Leon", this phenomenon is described as the 'white mist of disturbed water rained down'.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here:The aforementioned Sitcom Archnemesis after the second flash mob incident.
- Ship Tease: Started heavy and early. As in first day and first 2 minutes in one case.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Ryan and Sue both develop the same briefly. At the center of two of the flash mob events, which both happened in class. And involved live fire.
- Superhero School: Theoretically. They have interesting recruits to work with.
- Torches and Pitchforks: In 2 days of instruction, there were three angry mob incidents.
