MY IDEA FOR A SUPERHERO NOVEL!!!! OPINIONS NEEDED!

The story is set in the year 2015 in an alternate universe where in the year 2000, super-powered individuals known as meta-humans suddenly began to appear to the public eye. From scientific accidents to magic to extraterrestrials to technology, these individuals now have extraordinary abilities. Some use it for their own personal gain while others use it to benefit society and make the world a better place, though most of them prefer to keep their powers hidden and go on with their normal lives.

Because of their existence, this world is much different than ours. Governments around the world are trying to either create their own superhumans or regulate metahuman activity. Technology has advanced, with more green energy, advancements in medicine (cancer is a thing of the past for the most part and prosthesis technology has advanced greatly ), and newer discoveries in science (the existence of extraterrestrial life, the existence of magic and other dimensions). Prejudice against metahumans exists due to the destruction caused by supervillains, so the UN has been arguing for a decade on how they should react towards them. Superhero comic books, movies, and shows exist in this world but they’re sort of treated in the same way that people in our world treat cop movies or drama movies, allowing fantasy to gain more popularity as a genre.

The novel is going to focus on the lives of these meta-humans and how they use their abilities. We see each of their experiences with their powers, whether they’re government-controlled superheroes or street-level vigilantes. Whether they were born into more privileged upbringings or were exploited by the state.

I’m sort of going for an MCU style here with a bit of DC sprinkled in. I plan on giving the villains as much character development as the heroes in order to make the characters have more mixed moralities rather than having everything be simply black-and-white, good and bad. It will have an upbeat mood with humor but it will have some darker elements and tearjerker scenes, especially when it comes to the villains. 

So, what do you think?
