Superhero Writing Prompts

You're Captain Obvious! The hero with an ability that's considered useless as you only state the obvious..... At least it was considered useless until people realized that what may be obvious to others may not be to them. Now you have your own talk show.

While fighting, the villain notices somethings off with the hero. When they ask, the hero breaks down and tells the villain everything leaving them enraged.

You’re one of the worst supervillains of the century, and everyone fears you. Everyone except a certain Make-A-Wish child who has just requested to meet you.

You, a warrior mage, lost your sight in battle. You’re able to use magic to see, but doing so drains your powers. You’re always having to choose whether to save your powers to see, or to cast spells. One day, caught in an attack, your combat skills alone aren’t enough. You close your eyes.

In a world of super heroes and villains, you are a historian. You are convinced that something is altering time, changing history so that super powered events only happened “a few years ago” when they should be far older.

The public's hate for super heroes has grown. The reason: They don't kill villains, which gives them a chance to escape. You are the leader of the biggest anti-super hero groups. You are going from a rally you get stopped by some of the greatest heroes. They say they're here to kill you.

Your only superpower is that you can give mind-blowing orgasms with a touch. The other heroes tend to stay away from you and the media doesn’t like to talk about you, but you’ve pacified some of the biggest criminals in the city simply by visiting them on a regular basis.

You and your twin brother were adopted by different families. He ended up to becoming a supervillain, so every other day, while going about your business, you get beaten up by superheroes. It is time to put an end to this…

Your family was killed in the chaos of magical girl combat. "Collateral damage", the government said, "Acceptable losses". Well, now you have the tools to get your revenge.

"Well, you're the villain, not me, but if I'd built a machine that could destroy a whole city, I'd not ask for money.You can get that easy. No, you demand systemic change, at federal, congressional level. Legal, on the books change. That'll get you respect, and you can't buy that"

You are a world renowned supervillain that has just kidnapped your hero’s child, but instead of being scared or threatening you, they are begging you to let them stay

None of your superhero colleagues were born with their powers and instead all built themselves gadgets and powersuits to compensate. You are the only superhero who was born with their powers, although they didn't know that, until a villain thought they had disabled your suit.

Youve gained an odd new power. No matter what you do, say, or ask, its treated as proper and reasonable. Ask someone to strip? "It is a little warm today". Grope random strangers. "Oh, sorry. Need better access?" Etc.

Your nemesis has been reclassified as an A-Class, meaning he cant fight you Anymore.

“You were supposed to be the greatest evil this world has ever seen!” “A person can be good or bad. I just chose to be good.”

The superheroes have had enough of minimum wage, no benefits, no 401k plans, and being forced to pay high taxes. They decide to protest the unfair circumstances and surprisingly, the villains support their cause.

Everyone you touch turns into stone for a day. Recently a group of people beg you to touch them so they could be sculpted into the perfect body.

Your city does not have a resident superhero, yet it has a lower crime rate than any city with a hero. This is mostly your doing, since you have made it your mission to hunt *anyone* with superpowers out of the city, be they hero or villain.

A supervillain is trying to get his wife to the hospital, but the superheroes are intervening because they believe he has kidnapped her.

You were disowned by your family after being accused of a crime you didn’t commit. You end up getting adopted by your superhero mentor who believe in your innocence. After being proven innocent, your former family want you back

"Wait... So this whole time, you weren't under my mind control?"

"So you're a villain, but you only want to take over this small village?" "Yep." "You don't have any plans to take over anywhere else?" "Nope."

When you learned that you were teaming up with a magical girl, you expected a tiny preteen in a dress with sparkles. Not a 6’4 behemoth wearing bright pink body armor wielding a machine gun.

In a world where superpowers are bought at the store, two teens drop 20 bucks to raid the dollar bin.

You were made fun of as a male with a 'feminine' superpower growing up. Who's laughing now considering you are now the most powerful and richest superhero?

You're one of the most feared supervillains. Your superpower? You can fully control one atom at a time.

Your son was the greatest hero of this age, but he has become corrupted and now the only hope for the world is for you to come out of retirement to try to save him... Or end him.

I don't care if it perfectly describes your powers, its a stupid superhero name and I won't call you by it.

"No! That's it! I'm done! I'm putting a line! No more heroic sacrifices! Are we going to save the world? Yes! But we are doing it without sacrificing anyone else! And that's final! I don't care how much difficult it seems! We are all going to see this trought and that's it!"

A reversal of the usually fantasy. A girl with the power of at will invisibility sneaks into the men’s locker room. Unbeknownst to her, one of the guys has heat vision, and rather than ratting her out decides to tease and show off to her.
