I mentally brace myself when I see yet another person penning something in the superhero ouvre, so it’s always a relief to be able to relax. Good names, interesting powers, and some good descriptions work together here. I particularly liked “Nervous glances blossomed from curious expressions.”

A small suggestion: The semicolon after “expressions” led me to expect a complete sentence following. Maybe “faint murmurs grew amidst the silence”? Or a comma instead of a semicolon? That’s just nitpicking, though.

So what’s this super’s name?

Good call on the semi-colon, jesteram. It’s a common issue with my writing that I need to watch.

As for what his name is, I started with a character I’ve used in some RPGs: “Dark Heart” but as the story evolved in my mind, it seemed less and less like him to the point where I’m not sure who he is.

Rather, I know his personality, but not his name.

Does that make sense?

Fixed the semi-colon issue. It was caused by a re-write of my use of the word “growing” rather than “grew” when I’d shifted tense and some other sentence-structure items.

Thanks for the head’s up, jesteram!
