Re: You may actually be right..
Given the level of thought he's put into fleshing out any of his characters so far, beyond just "roman-a-clef versions of preexisting superheroes, supervillains and supporting characters," you'll forgive me if I can't share your hope.
Yes, I know the term gets overused, but goddammit, this story deserves it; this is FAN FICTION writing, utterly indistinguishable from any number of stories I've read for free online, aside from its lack of gratuitous sex.
