Fake Hero
In the first Fake Superhero book, superhero scam artist Doctor Mind must assemble a team of superhero misfits and losers to stop the evil but quirky Death Skull the Murderer from destroying his city.
Fake superheroes. Real comedy.
Doctor Mind has it made. Having spent the last three years using a combination of alien technology and clever stage magic to fool the people of Freedom City into thinking he’s a legitimate superhero (including hiring his failed actor brother to play his supervillains), Doctor Mind thinks he’s set for life.
Until a real supervillain, the dangerous but quirky Death Skull the Murderer, shows up and threatens to destroy the entire city in a month unless Doctor Mind defeats him in a fight.
Ostracized from the mainstream superhero community for his scammy business, Doctor Mind must recruit and train a team of superhero rejects—including a Canadian lumberjack with a personal vendetta against trees, a washed-out ex-sidekick who looks like a baby despite being an adult, and a woman with more brawn than brains—to become real superheroes and save his city from Death Skull.
