Things to know.
Other than the personalities, many events would be chosen from different versions to fit my narrative.
I wouldn't change the personalities too much
It's not gonna completely follow 616 universe , but since it's a fanfiction I don't think anyone would care too much.
So it's an AU , I have been doing op MC's for a while , so I was thinking of a weak to strong properly or at least on the scale of Marvel, someone with Captain America level strength is still weak as f.
Gotta watch a crap load of powerscaling videos to choose some powers that are strong but wouldn't make him cracked… immediately…🦆
Mc wouldn't be a villain or a selfish individual but kind of a good guy who struggles with the morality and responsibility of being a hero…..
I watched Superman…. and that might reflect on this.

Synopsis…
….
Adrian had always believed that he was an orphan until he wasn't one anymore.
He lost his prestigious orphan status when a hot woman arrived at his doorstep claiming to be his sister.
He wished to refuse but she made a good offer ( money , lots of it ), so with great reluctance he bid goodbye to his orphan status , and Adrian felt like he was giving up something important.
So his new life began with his sister being his sugar mommy.
But life had other plans for him , as he saw a blue screen on his retina after he saved an old lady from getting into an accident.
Adrian played a lot of video games and was well versed in the fantasy genre so he was pretty sure that it was a system screen.
And this system wanted him to be a hero … which he certainly had no interest in.
And in this world of monsters and super powered individuals what was a regular joe like him supposed to do with the can of Red Bull he got as a reward for saving the old lady.
Does Red Bull really give you wings ?
Only one way to find out … one step at a time ~

'Again?'
I couldn't help but think to myself as I saw a nerdy kid with glasses being bullied by Flash Thompson, the resident bully of the college.
We were all going to be working adults a few months from now but he was still acting like an immature asshole.
Does having rich parents automatically make you a douche bag ?
But no matter what I couldn't let this shit stain bully an honest kid , things being verbal was something I could ignore , but when it escalates into the realm of physical altercation I couldn't possibly let this guy have his way.
So I did what was necessary… Bully the bully…
….
" Ugh! The fuck is wrong with you Volkov?! " Flash groaned in discomfort as he was shoved into the boy's restroom by Adrian who just calmly gazed at him making the bully nervous.
Adrian was tall and Flash always believed he was scrawny due to his baggy and loose clothes but Flash knew the truth that this guy was absolutely shredded under those loose clothes, and that calm gaze still sent chills down his spine , like who the fuck tanks a punch to the face and just stares calmly.
Flash knew he shouldn't mess with the guy
" Is bullying fun? " Flash heard Adrian ask in a curious tone as he removed his glasses while his blue eyes bore into him. And something about his tone and manners sent a chill down Flash's spine.
Flash gulped in nervousness as the only people in the restroom were him and Adrian , he didn't know what this guy had planned for him… but something told him that it shouldn't be anything good…..
...
*Adrian POV*
"Did you say something flash?" I asked in confusion as I was shoving Flashe's head into the toilet sink , luckily some careless fool forgot to flush … so good thing for flash, right ?
Nasty? Yes… but did Flash deserve it ? Absolutely!
I hate bullies , and an entitled brat like Flash Thompson got on my nerves. Enacting physical violence against an innocent kid who was minding his own business.
Giving that kid a black eye was too much so Flash finally had to learn it the hard way , I had enough of pretending not to see this shit…..
…..
"Mmmph!" Wait! Flash was saying something!
"Oh you said you wanted to get a better taste ? My~my ~ Why didn't you say that earlier!" Tsk~ Tsk~ flash , if you want something then you have to ask for it , what's the use of holding back your desires.
Enjoy! Flash, enjoy!
We have more where that came from.

[ Ding! Act of controversial heroism detected! ]
[ You have been rewarded with a bottle of Gatorade! ]
Oh my~ nothing like fighting crime with a bottle of energy drink right ?
I was neither disappointed nor happy , since I was used to this.
I did have a theory about the rewards correlating to the scale of heroic activity but it wasn't solid either since I received a pair of oven mitts for saving a cat from a tree and Plant communication for helping an old lady carry her things.
Sometimes the system triggers , other times it doesn't.
As for plant communication it wasn't anything cool like making nature bend to my will ,or communicating with plants to control them.
No it was actually a very simple ability , I can communicate with plants to know what they need to help them grow better.
So basically I am the best farmer in this world , just using this ability helps me know what a plant needs to grow properly, I don't even need to do any research on the specific plant.
Being a Gardening streamer has never been easier….
...
It's not like I was dissatisfied with the rewards or was greedy for better rewards , I was content with the rewards I have gotten until now as they had made my life more convenient.
So even if I didn't have my sister's support I could still make it out on my own…
...
*3rd Person*
A blonde haired young woman was lying on her bed with her phone in her hands as she was gazing into the screen of her phone with a conflicted expression on her face.
She had a slight scowl on her face as she noticed that her message was the last one in the chat.
She quickly deleted the multiple paragraphs she had written up and after a few moments of contemplation just wrote a single word.
'Sorry…' her thumb hovered on the send button as she hesitated for a moment before erasing it and throwing her phone onto the bed in annoyance and buried her face in the pillow with a tired sigh….
...
*Adrian POV*
I gazed at Flash who was huddled up on the floor while retching.
I may have enjoyed tormenting him at first , but after he started struggling a bit, my sense of enjoyment stopped.
As much of a piece of shit Flash was , I didn't get some pleasure from tormenting him , it was more so about my anger and at first I may have found it amusing but later it just felt stale.
He was just an asshole, not some criminal , but at the same time he was an arrogant bully who got pleasure from bullying those weaker than him and these useless teachers turned a blind eye, since Flash's parents were members of the school board.
If the victim fights back or stands up for himself then these useless trash would blame him/her.
Schools should be a place to teach knowledge not oppression or pander to one's status.
It disgusted me to no end but I never complained about this back home or showed that I was dissatisfied because my sister was a little bit protective…. Scratch that she was a bit too overprotective.
I didn't want Flash's family to go bankrupt just because he annoyed me , I wasn't that petty.
It was just a squabble between kids not to mention Flash is just an immature brat.
"Remember this feeling , this is the feeling of getting bullied … and I hope I wouldn't have to make you feel like this a second time , Flash.." I had no intention of humiliating him or torturing him , but I did want him to remember the feeling of shame he was feeling now and maybe learn something from it ?
I didn't want to see him bully anyone , and if fear is the thing that motivates him to change then so be it.
Flash only glared at me in anger and humiliation making me sigh as I believed I might have to meet him again.
I leaned a bit forward to make sure I was looking him in the eyes when I said each syllable.
"If I see you bullying anyone then I'll make sure the treatment you endured today would be in front of the whole school…. I don't want to do it , Flash … so don't make me…" I really didn't want to, but I was being serious about my promise.
It seems my message was received well since I could see a hint of fear in flash.
A weak empathic power that lets me sense subtle moods through eye contact, but it was useful in some cases.
It doesn't always work, but when one's mental state is a bit fragile it has a high chance of working.
"Be better.." I let out a tired sigh as I left the restroom hoping Flash Thompson would turn over a new leaf….
...
It seems no one noticed Flash's absence, but it was to be expected since I caught him on his way to the restroom.
Even if someone saw me bullying Flash and reported me to the teachers , It wouldn't be too much of a hassle since a call to my sister would fix things up.
Not that I wanted to , since it would be overkill.
When I turned a corner I was suddenly pulled and pressed up against the wall while a soft body pressed up against me making me a bit bewildered as everything happened too quickly.
'A Kabedon?' Is this the famous Japanese romance anime event ?
"Adrian~ " The perpetrator purred into my ears in a sexy and seductive voice , and I had to admit that she was good , very good and I might have caved in if I was one of her simps.
Unlucky for her , I have plenty of experience dealing with seductive women who loved to tease me , taking advantage of my puberty to make me embarrassed.
But even with my experience it was still a bit hard to ignore her very soft curves which she made a point of pressing against my body.
But I still maintained a straight face since I didn't want to give this vixen the pleasure of getting a reaction out of me.
