Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Superheroes Anonymous is a 2014 superhero novel by Lexie Dunne. Gail Godwin is the administrative coordinator of Mirror Reality, the woman behind the scenes ensuring that all of the work actually gets done. Unfortunately, she's also known as Hostage Girl, designated target of any supervillain looking to make a name for themselves by kidnapping and threatening her.She has her own personal superhero, Blaze, who rescues her every time, but it's far from an ideal situation as she's frequently in the hospital recovering from the kidnappings, and she can't afford to leave the job she hates because they provide excellent medical insurance. One day, her boyfriend of several years (definitely not Blaze despite superficial resemblances) and Blaze suddenly move to Miami, leaving Gail to try to make a life of her own without being kidnapped every week. Unfortunately, not every villain has gotten the memo that Hostage Girl is no longer being saved, and one villain's attempt to addict Gail to a radioactive substance turns out to have unexpected consequences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Superheroes Anonymous was followed in 2015 by Supervillains Anyonmous, wherein Gail learns that her kidnapping may not have been random, that the jail for supervillains is surprisingly comfortable, and that there are sinister conspiracies underneath the surface of the superhero community. In the third novel of the series she learns How To Save The World. And in the fourth (and final) novel she embarrasses herself and her mentor with #HEROFAIL.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The Superheroes Anonymous series contains examples of: | |

Adaptive Ability | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_20e7ed4f | comment |
Adaptive Ability: The key to how Mobium works. As its host encounters threats, it enhances their body to ensure its survival. It also lets recipients pick up new powers this way. Doing so, particularly adding new powers, imposes stress on the body and might kill the host. | |

How long has she been out? and 2. Which Supervillain was it this time? Later she wakes up in a Mad Scientist's lab and after that in a secret superhero hideout. | |

Power Copying | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_4c24a9ed | comment |
Power Copying: a side effect of Mobium. So far Gail has picked up the ability to phase from her trainer and to teleport apparently from her first and only experience of porting. And now telepathy - apparently because the Mobium is irritated by the way she's constantly losing her phone. For reasons Gail can't even begin to grasp Mobium chooses to give her a variant of Chelsea's Agony Beam, acid seeping from her palms. And Rita Detmer gives her an involuntary 'upgrade' that throws all her powers off at the worst possible time. | |

Superheroes Wear Tights | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_c255cc72 | comment |
Superheroes Wear Tights: Bright spandex costumes are standard, largely because they let the superheroes act as highly visible symbols to the populace. | |

Take Me Instead | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_c2afffe | comment |
Take Me Instead: Well used to being the hostage, Gail attempts to do this wherever possible. Due to her fame, bystanders around her also tend to implore the supervillains to Take Her Instead... | |

Legacy Character | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: The Raptor. The original Raptor died years ago. His daughter took up the mantle and is currently grooming one of her children to replace her. The general public is unaware due to padded costumes and voice modulators. In the third book it is revealed that she doesn't want her son following in her footsteps and has selected Gail as her successor. In the fourth book Jessie Davenport retires and Gail officially becomes Raptor. | |

| Superheroes Anonymous / int_cffd71bd | comment |
Most Common Superpower: Averted. Most superpowers include an increased metabolism that builds up muscle and burns fat. As Gail occasionally laments, she had an impressive bust before her empowering event, but not so much afterwards. | |

Holding Out for a Hero | |
| Superheroes Anonymous / int_d7f21602 | comment |
Holding Out for a Hero: The usual citizen reaction to a Supervillain attack to either run, watch or take pictures with their phones. Years as Hostage Girl has taught Gail to sit back and wait for Blaze. It's not an indefensible strategy but she comes to realize in the first book just how passive she's become in every aspect of her life. | |

| Superheroes Anonymous / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Villain Syndrome is a common problem with superhero origins where acquiring powers leads to a belief that they need to save the world by any means necessary. Depending on the level of derangement, this might range from believing that all nuclear powers need to be disarmed to believing that everyone would be a lot more happy if they could photosynthesize and stop eating plant matter. | |
