well, actually, yes, much to Impossible's annoyance. The great hero CoreFire is missing, and his Arch-Nemesis Doctor Impossible has escaped from prison. The story is told in alternating viewpoints between Fatale, a new recruit to Avengers/ Justice League analogue the Champions, and Doctor Impossible, a supervillain who has fallen on hard times and is currently in jail for the 12th time. Most of the characters are Captains Ersatz or pastiches of superheroes and superhero tropes. The setting is an Affectionate Parody of both the Marvel Universe and The DCU, and like these two is decidedly in the realm of the Fantasy Kitchen Sink, with everything from magicians to aliens. A novel by Austin Grossman about a world where superheroes exist and have been around since World War II.
