Failstate by John Otte
Failstate by John Otte
Book 1 of Failstate Trilogy
Summary:
Why did Robin Laughlin (a.k.a. Failstate) think being a superhero on a reality show would be a good idea?
Things seemed so simple: Win the show, become an official, licensed hero. But with his brother, Ben (a.k.a. Gauntlet) stealing America's heart—and with Rob's own powers proving too unwieldy for TV—Failstate begins to wonder if he's going to live up to the failure in his name.
Until one of his friends and fellow competitors is murdered.
Robin vows to find the killer, and he sets out on a very real quest to unmask the hidden villain. Can Failstate find justice? Or will his lunk of a big brother ruin everything-including taking the girl who has stolen Rob's heart?
Very soon, Failstate and Gauntlet will come to blows.
Which has been the villain's plan all along.

Opening Lines:
Being a superhero was hard enough. Being one on reality television...Why had I thought this was a good idea?
The production assistant, a young Asian woman in her late twenties, poked her head into the green room and called my name. I followed her out of the room. You'd think after four weeks of competition, they would give me a little credit for being able to find my own way, but no. They couldn't let the contestants get lost.
