Acme Hero

A world where superhero equipment is commercially available — if you're willing to lie on the application. Acme Hero Equip, Inc. sells real costumes, real gadgets, and a four-hundred-page manual on how not to get killed. The heroes who buy in are part-time, underfunded, and mostly making it up as they go.
