One hundred years after superpowers have become commonplace, generations have seemingly adopted and lived in a chaotic superhuman society run by heroes and villains. In said society, countless heroes strive to climb to rise to old legends, but this isn't their story. Instead, we are here to shine a light on the literal worst of the worst, a team of criminals, outcasts, and misfits that struggle to survive in this mad world. After all, when you're already at the bottom, it makes sense to focus only on The Cons.

The Cons

Seven million seven hundred seventy-six thousand seconds. That is how long I have been obsessed with this day. In that time, I have pondered approximately five thousand six hundred and sixty scenarios explicitly designed to work with my current arsenal of one hundred inventions.


Yet despite the twenty-six sleepless nights, three consecutive days without any type of nourishment, and the frankly maddening amount of problems even I can't count. I don't regret even one decision. Not one. After all, the best only deserve the best, do they not? Psychologically speaking, the first encounter is always striking, which means I must always put the best foot forward.


And even with months of preparation for this one day, I still feel antsy.


"Maybe I should quit all together, maybe there will be a nex-," I said out loud for only my various monitors to hear me amidst the nervous tapping of my left foot.


When I heard the melodic stirring that came with six raised heartbeats, it seems that the nanites had not missed even a single dime. I realized that I could do all the waiting in the world and still not be ready. Evolution only comes through tribulation, and I refuse to stay the same person I was even a half-second ago. So in an instant, I bottled my anxiety and steeled my resolve all the more.


In this superhuman society, out of 8.5 billion people globally, I've picked a fight between the worst of the worst. And while this dreaded city called Krimo may call them outcasts, criminals, and ruffians, I have a very different name for them: arch-nemesis, or should I say The Cons.
