The Adventures of A Superhero 

by R.L. Chambers 

The sun had set,
The city basked in shadow,
I watched from the rooftops,
Watching the people go about their business,
The inviting lights of night clubs,
The numbing sensation of alcohol for sale,
A scream caught my attention,
A woman,
A pulled my mask down,
Time for work,
I jumped from the building,
My cape billowing behind me,
I hit the ground hard,
My knees screamed in pain,
Another scream,
I tried to run,
Knees refused, 
I hobbled to the screams,
A woman was pushed up against a wall,
Her back to her assailant,
Her panties around her ankles,
The criminal was big, and black,
Mid-thrust, I rushed up and kicked him square in the balls,
He crumpled to the floor,
I heard footsteps approaching,
He wasn't alone,
I spun around, and jab my keys into his eye,
Blood arced through the air as he went down,
The woman screams again,
"You're safe now." I say,
"That was my pimp."
I was confused,
"but you screamed?" I question.
"so would you if you took a twelve incher up your ass."
I was still confused,
"he was a client you dipshit."
I was embarrassed,
Under the mask my face was red,
But still,
Prostitution isn't legal,
I knew what I had to do,
I knocked her out,
Left a note for the police and ran,
Guess I'm moving to another city,
This superhero job is hard.

The Adventures of The World my Minions 

by Jesse Batista 

Here I sit in my Lair 
With dreams to rule the land
All the Powers of the ages
My destiny is at hand 
A man of my stature
With height to see the horizon
Chiseled out of stone
And dressed all bedizen 
My intellect unmatched
All feelings detached
I should be doing evil deeds
Plundering and Reaping the proceeds
Wreaking havoc through the world!
My cunning unfurled! 
Hell’s fire and brimstone has nothing on me!
The world as my minions
Begging for mercy, yes PLEA!
But, here I stand in my chair
To the corner I stare
Frozen in despair 
Vanquished by 8 legs
Attached to 3 inches square

The Adventures of The Hallelujah Ninja 

by Sebastian Andrews

Shrouded in a cloak
Dressed all in black
I disappear up in smoke
Reappear in the back


Speaking in tongues
Chanting the word
Confusing mine enemy
Their vision, blurred


Palm to forehead
You are SAVED!
Fall to the floor
Conscious depraved


The sinister
The diabolical
They all need to fear
When the Hallelujah Ninja
Is lurking near.

The Adventures of Illustrious Impaler 

by Chris Batista

Siesta by day
Watchman by night
Don’t worry about the jailer
Fear the Illustrious Impaler


Highly skilled with the blade
The would-be victim has it made
No matter the villain
The Impaler isn’t swayed


Knife over here
Blades in the there
Tucked in my shoe
I have a spare


One on my hip
two Strapped to my leg
don’t make me angry homes
I blow like a powder keg


Slash you, slice you
Dice you like you’re Moo shu


I won’t just stab you
Or run you through
I’ll make you a Mess..a

The Adventures of Super Smidge 

by Ivy Valori 

Do you need a hug when you fall down?
Some love that lifts you off the ground.
Do you need a helping hand to wipe your tears?
Some love that takes away your fears.
There is a superhero, who's heart is large and holds lots of love
Her hugs are also mighty tight
Call her Super Smidge
Her little legs dangle as she sits
Is there a spider on the wall, you'd like removed?
Call Super Smidge, she'll squeal and run away with you.
Is there a food imposter on your plate?
ZAP
BOOM
SIZZLE
Gone away is the alien who made the turkey bacon.
The night has come over the world
Fighting crime is an exhausting job
Time to go night night
I need my cuddle bear and blankie to dream sweet as a flower
The phone rings
Super Smidge is up again to fight
A monster under your bed. 

The Adventures of The Glare 

by Luc Vors 

I, my glare
Beware, you there
Run fast 
from my hypnotic stare!

Once I have you
In my sights 
Paralyzed,
You will be quite.

This one, here
That one, there, 
Frozen are they
Everywhere! 

Prancing in
My whitest tights,
I do shine
The brightest brights.

Run, run, run,
And look away,
Your pockets
I might pick today. 

Be you ware, there.
Be you ware.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm THE GLARE

Mu-AH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA...
