BLURB: Penelope Akk wants to be a superhero. She's got superhero parents. She's got the ultimate mad science power, filling her life with crazy gadgets even she doesn't understand. She has two super powered best friends. In middle school, the line between good and evil looks clear.
In real life, nothing is that clear. All it takes is one hero's sidekick picking a fight, and Penny and her friends are labeled supervillains. In the process, Penny learns a hard lesson about villainy: She's good at it. Criminal masterminds, heroes in power armor, bottles of dragon blood, alien war drones, shape shifters and ghosts, no matter what the super powered world throws at her, Penny and her friends come out on top. They have to. If she can keep winning, maybe she can clear her name before her mom and dad find out.

My rating: 3.7 mad-scientist stars

En esta versión alternativa de Los Angeles, muy al estilo del universo Avengers y Los Increibles, hay superheroes y villanos, y acaban de pasar por una guerra con los aliens. Penelope Akk es una chica normal de 13 años, un poco nerd ,  cuyos padres son dos superheroes en retiro. Papá es Cerebro Akk y mamá es Auditor. Con esos padres, ella espera tener una habilidad científica-matemática como ellos, pero con lo que no contaba es que ella en realidad es una ..¡científica loca! Porque todos saben que los cientificos locos son todos villanos, ¿verdad? errr.

Great teaser for the rest of the story.

This is the trope of 'killing machine let his past behind and goes to live a happy simple life with woman and baby' ... except then makes a very bad decision and all goes to hell.

Bloodshot aka Ray Garrison is living in Minessota with his love, Magic, and a baby girl, Jessie. All is well, until a overheard phone call send him in a hunt seeking revenge. Ray was/is a supersoldier proyect with nanites in him that gives him almost imparable regenerative status and speed , was used as assasin wiping his mind (imagine that! cough).

While Ray is hunting old demons and making said big mistake (you know, breaking promises - baaad) , an old organization is rising again, OMEN, looking for using the nanite proyect with a srly creepy chief aboard.
