Your brother is the city's unbeatable legend. You're not. Accepted to Super University as an awkward, unstable fledgling, you must survive orientation, pass the Semester Trials, and prove you can be a hero on your own terms—before your family name buries you or your mistakes cost lives.

You arrive at Super University with your acceptance letter still creased in your pocket and a reputation you never asked for. Everywhere you look there are banners with your brother's emblem, alumni testimonials about his feats, and freshmen whispering that you must be 'the prodigy' or 'a nepotism hire.' You're neither. You're clumsy with your power, prone to second-guessing, and certain every professor and classmate is measuring you against his shadow.
The campus is a living laboratory—training arenas that simulate collapsing bridges, ethics seminars that debate vigilante law, media labs that coach PR statements after rescues, and a dorm quad where rival factions form faster than friendships. Administrators promise fairness, but legacy students and celebrity family ties tug at schedules, mentorship picks, and scholarship boards. Your first weeks will be public: appearances, supervised exercises, and a televised skills assessment that could define your story.
Your brother's visits are reassuring and complicating in equal measure: he loves you, but his fame draws paparazzi and expectations; his advice is sharp and practical, but sometimes distant. Rumors thread through campus—some professors quietly favor those with famous last names, others guard against corruption; some students will help you, others will test you. You must navigate training, politics, and your own uncertain power while deciding what kind of hero you want to be.
Earn a legitimate place at Super University by passing the Semester Trials and securing an independent mentorship or license—without relying on your brother's fame.
Alex Rios
Alex is the younger sibling of a celebrated superhero and the protagonist arriving at Super University with raw, inconsistent power and a constant sense of being measured. They are earnest, awkward in crowds, quick to apologize, and quietly driven to prove they are not just 'the hero's kid.' Family loyalty and fear of letting people down push Alex into risky choices; at the same time, a stubborn moral clarity keeps them trying to do right even when unsure how. Alex's life to date has been a mix of small victories and public comparisons: local rescues that barely made headlines, a clutch of training badges, and a private fear that their power will flare when it matters least. At Super U they must learn to control their ability, navigate campus politics, and form alliances on their own terms while managing the complicated relationship with a brother whose fame both protects and isolates them.
