No Ordinary Mortals Anthology

A project of Rogue Blades Entertainment (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (August 2020). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Super-powered pulp heroes. Supers with a single power who fight crime or villains. Good guys/gals versus bad guys/gals, no gray areas, no amorality, no Lord Byronic heroes. And no non-powered heroes. So think of characters like Doc Savage, the Rocketeer, Zorro, The Phantom, and Flash Gordon, but with powers and ideals like Superman and Wonder Woman (in their earlier renditions). Sorry, this means no Punisher, Logan, or even The Batman. It also means no Superman with his surplus of powers. Blatantly heroic original-to-the-author-only characters with no ambiguity in their pursuit of stopping crime and villainous behavior. Super Men & Wonderous Women only.
