The definition of an Uberhero? A being whose powers of utter willingness are so strong... you'll never ask for help again! The origins and stories of some of the most popular crimefighters(!) and villains on the planet, from the tortured mind of legendary Uberhero creator Lostés Marbel - a genius of formerly singular capacity. Picture the scene... A desolate, dimly-lit avenue shrouded in fog. You are alone. Four thugs head towards you grinning evilly - they aren't about to ask for directions. A commanding voice echoes along the avenue, bringing a sense of relief and renewed hope. "Stop there villainous scum! Or prepare to meet your doom." Hope quickly lost, you call him an ambulance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Ha! Ha! And thrice ha! Another boat floater for me. I read this book at just the right time- after trying and failing to see what was supposed to be good about a novel written by a Nobel prizewinner, Deadfool was a perfect cleanser for a jaded mental palate, or pallet, or whatever. The book is a send-up of superheroes (Andrew Marvell has a lot to answer for), including: a huge green giant person who grows ever clumsier; a plastic-clad vigilante who is attacked by eco-protesters; Thaw, who melts the hearts of women with his tiny hammer; and many others. There is word-play a-plenty, pace a-plenty, and much cheek distended by tongue. The second half of the book features a series of exposés by the famous uberhero expert Lois Lame, in which she provides the transcripts of interviews from her archive. Totally bonkers, and the perfect antidote to middle-of-the-road fiction!" - Marco Ocram (Goodreads)
