Sidekick!
The city has a problem. Many, many problems. Namely, that problem is crime, and we're not talking mere murders and robberies. These criminals have much grander plans.... TO RULE THE WORLD!
Fortunately, for whatever reason, this particular city also happens to contain the world's largest concentration of superheroes. Thanks to this collective of dashing men and women, the citizens of Unnamed-City will be safe for another day!
...Meet our heroine. (She doesn't have a name either, yet. I should really get to work on that.)
She might only be in 7th grade, but she recently discovered that she has a secret - a secret that any kid in the city would be dying to have. She is one of the lucky ones - she has superpowers. Sure, she might be a little on the scrawny side, and maybe she looks more like she's 10 rather than 13, but that doesn't erase the fact that she can fly and toss around cars with ease. A heroine, she thinks, that any superhero registry would love to have.
...Except when she goes to register her secret identity, she is greeted with a kind, condescending rejection. Go home, little girl, we don't want you to get hurt.
This doesn't sit well with her.
Not at all.
And so, not willing to be deterred, she hatches a dastardly plan worthy of the city's craftiest supervillains. She camps out at the high school next door as the students are leaving, scouts out a likely-looking candidate, and ... kidnaps him.
Her victim is a tall, good-looking senior boy. Average grades. Not exactly popular, but generally well-liked. Aiming for business school. All in all, a very ordinary person, and he likes it that way. Unfortunately for him, his young kidnapper has other plans.
You see, he has just the right look for a popular superhero - young, handsome, well-built - despite the fact that he's a bit of a weakling. With the help of her science teacher - who's actually a mad scientist in his spare time - she hatches a plan: all the public will believe this guy is the real superhero. No one will ever believe that she, using a cloaking device courtesy of her mad scientist teacher, is really doing all the work. Her fake superhero candidate isn't too pleased with the arrangement, but our heroine ropes him in anyway. A perfect plan!
...but in this city, perfect plans have a tendency to go awry.

This looks creative and silly and hilarious and great. <3
