Theodore Conley is a seventeen-year-old young man who discovers, after manifesting his powers in a bathroom fight with some bullies, that he is an Omega and one of the most powerful superhumans alive.Also set in the world is the Superhero Detective series starring Truman Lord. A Hardboiled Detective with the power to control water, Truman doesn't have a secret identity yet operates openly as a Hero. He takes on a number of superhuman-related cases over the course of his series with the help of his occasional partner and Catwoman Expy Shadow.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Books in the Omega Superhero series: | |

Flying Brick | |
Omega Superhero / int_a51b63ed | comment |
Flying Brick: Averted, actually, despite the fact he can duplicate most of their powers. Theo is a superpowerful telekinetic and could, theoretically, move the moon if he had enough of a will to do it. This allows him to fly and duplicate feats of strength which normal super-strong characters can't. This is possibly a reference to the Connor Kent Superboy who had "tactile telekinesis." | |
