Accidental World Domination: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Death Ray
novel
[Participant in the November 2025 & April 2026 Writathons] Alex Adams is the Iron Menace, a less than notable supervillain amongst countless others in Victory City, who has for the most part failed to make a mark on the super community. Until a power he'd mostly written off suffers a slight misfire that ends with him accidentally killing a member of the League of Domination, THE villain organization of the world and one that doesn't take kindly to some nobody offing one of their members. Meanwhile his actions have attracted a lot of attention from the superheroes as well, and not all of them are pleased. So Alex must quickly figure out how to become important enough to survive quickly being thrust into the very center of the superhero world. With his past misdeeds catching up to him, no desire to swap over to the other side of the caped world for a cushy "redemption story", and unwilling to lower himself to serve as a flunky for another villain, that leaves only one option: World Domination. Join the Iron Menace, Terrorantula, ArachNed, and more in this somewhat humorous but loving take on superhero (villain) fantasy in a world with some secrets of its own.
