My Name is Damyon Chapman. And this is the story of my life. Well, the most interesting part about it. Now I know you clicked on this story to see me in Equestria but that starts next chapter. This just gives me a little bit of backstory.
I was 15 years old and I was in grade 9. I had Dyed dark blue hair with hazel eyes that switched between Brown and strangely bright yellow. My hair used to be brown but I didn’t like it like that. I was going to unveil my hair when something happened. I’ll tell you about that later. I had a Michael Hill watch and a very cool looking ring as well as a necklace with a small diamond in the centre of it. I have black BMW glasses that are thick even when condensed. I was wearing a white sweater with a striped blue white and green jacket that are striped horizontally.
It was very close to summer and Everyone thought I was weird since I'm still wearing my winter jacket. I have to agree except for two reasons. 1. I love how much storage I have in my jacket. It holds everything that I would need for wherever I need to go. For example, it holds a small first aid kit. A Survival knife and my wallet. I also had headphones in it that I brought everywhere I go. 2. It was basically my self-trademarked look.
I was also wearing green shorts with black shoes. I had a large backpack that was filled to the brim with stuff that didn’t have anything to do with school. I had a portable tv case with my Xbox in it. I also had a bunch of food in it just in case I need it. I had everything I would possibly need to survive out in the wild for a week.
You can probably guess that I was a very big nerd having all these precautions. This was true enough but I was not a nerd academic wise, but video game wise. I had every Xbox that had been created. Going from the original Xbox to the Xbox one S. and everything in between. The Xbox One S was the one that was hooked into my portable tv case. During lunch, I would take it out and play on it. In fact, I was part of a video game club that came together every Monday and Friday. We usually play Super Smash Bros for the Wii U. But enough about how geeky I am.
Now you would think my schedule would be the same almost every day. Wake up, eat, go to school, eat at lunch, continue school, home, eat, go to bed. But in real life, my schedule was much more complicated than that. In fact usually, I was home at 8 or 9 at the earliest. This was due to a very complicated turn of events that only I know about.
You see, I was a superhero in my world. I was walking my dog home during a storm when I got struck by lightning. I absorbed all the electricity and heat from it and my dog remained fine. A little shaken when he saw I was almost completely unharmed, but he was fine. From the accident, I gained powers that I learned to use over the course of a month.
I made myself a suit as extra credit in my sewing class in grade 7. It fitted my body perfectly and nobody would have a clue it was me.Here is what it the symbol looked like
Now the full suit looked like this
You can guess how my teacher reacted when she saw how good it looked. Eventually, I mastered my powers and after school every day, I would put on my costume and save people. So far I had saved 50 people from petty theft and 20 people from car crashes. I didn't have an arch-nemesis since I was a little-known hero. Plus I didn't fight my crime in a major city like new York or even Toronto. I worked in Medicine Hat, where I had lived all my life.
Nobody knew that I was the one saving them. In fact, they rarely even saw my costume as I saved them so fast. I never talked when I had my mask on since I didn't have a voice manipulator embedded in it. I needed to find the technology to do that.
But I also had many other secrets that only my very close friend knew about. Not even my parents knew about them. You may find that weird but I had always had trouble letting my parents into my life. Not only would they tease me unmercifully but one my dad wasn't even my real dad. I don't hold that against him, in fact, I like him. he was fun, he was a video game nerd like me. only better looking. But the main reason that I didn't want to share stuff with them is the teasing my part.
For example, I kissed a girl for the first time last year and they teased me about it for a week. So you can see why I could NEVER tell them I was a brony. Let alone letting them know their son was the person who saved a lot of people on a daily basis. The only people who knew about me being a brony was people who found out about it accidentally. I was teased about it a little but other than that they were very nice about it. One of the perks being a school where everyone was accepted. But any way you probably want to know what happened to me when I was going to unveil my blue hair.
I was walking to my final class of the day when suddenly the building shook. it was an earthquake. We had never gotten any earthquakes before so I didn't know how the building integrity would hold up. I pulled the fire alarm and changed into lightningman. (That was the name of the superhero that I was.)
I rushed into the buildings looking for people who needed help. I spotted someone stuck under a pillar while a bunch of people were trying to pick it back up. I got stares at me as I pushed the others off it and picked it up. I recognized the student I saved. Her name was Faith Scrivener and I had a crush on her for a few months now. But I knew I would never be able to get her. That's not because I was afraid of stating my feelings. in fact, I told her how I felt. Through notes, I put in her locker. But she found out who was leaving them and she hasn't talked to me since.
At first, when she saw who had rescued her, she was apprehensive. But then she came and hugged me.
"Thank you. What's your name?" asked Faith as she kept hugging me
"You already know both my names," I say so only she could hear. I then pull her off. This was true about knowing both of my names. Because I had a youtube channel that was called Lightningman. Someone had found out about it. And now the whole grade knows. They just won't let go of it. (NO FUCKING FROZEN REFERENCES!)
Faith recognized my voice as looked at me with a mixture of disgust, surprise, and sadness. I then cleared my throat and yelled in my deepest voice at everyone
"Get out of the building. It's collapsing. I'm looking for anyone else that needs help!" Suddenly the building shook again and I realized the ends of the hallway were blocked. I looked around I had an idea. I blew a hole in the ceiling and I picked them all up.
it was only like 4 or 5 people. I jumped as hard as I could and made it on the roof. I then got to the rest of the school students and teachers and gave them to their respective teachers. But before Faith could go I said to her
"Don't tell anyone my real identity Ok?" Faith looked at me and a few seconds later she nodded. "Thanks. Now go. I still need to see if there is anyone else in there."
I looked around the school once more and saved 3 more people. and when I brought them out the teachers did their rolecall. But my homeroom teacher Ms. Martin realized I wasn't there.
"Damyon?! Where are you?!" she called. I went to her and said in my deep voice.
"Don't worry. He's safe," I said as I tried to calm her down
"I'm his teacher and I'm responsible for him." She said to me.
I sighed and said. "One sec." I went and got my backpack from out of the collapsing building. I changed and came out to the back of the school. I then walked over to my classmates and said "Hi. Were you doing roll call? Lightningman helped me out a few minutes ago."
Everyone looked slightly relieved to see that I was fine. I looked at Faith for a second and she had an expressionless face. I smiled at everyone. But suddenly the ground shook once more and something opened up behind me. It was blindingly white. it seemed to suck me in, but no one else.
"This must be what's causing the earthquakes!" I said to everyone.
"Where's that dude in the mask! He should be able to stop this!" Said, Ms. Martin, as she kept a hold on me to stop me from flying into the portal
"Yeeeeaaaaah. About that." I sighed and knew I had to show them to save them. I planted my feet on the earth so that I didn't move. I then opened my backpack and brought out my mask. I then put it on and they saw it fitted me perfectly. Everyone looked at me in amazement
"Your him?" Ms. Martin said quietly. I nodded and said
"I'll be back soon." I grabbed my backpack and put it on. With that, I was sucked into the portal.
Hrm. Now that I've read it, the protagonist of this story seems a bit Gary Stu-ish. Random superpowers, nothing really bad has happened, and so far, things have seemed to turn out well in the end no matter what.
But that's just coming from me i read this on my horribly laggy phone. I have yet to read the next chapter.
this is kinda cringe but i think i can enjoy it
Just finished the intro chapter. I'm getting Iron Man vibes from the suit, plus classic comic spandex super hero vibes. As for the power set, so far everything seems very Cole McGrath, but that's not such a big deal. Honestly these are not critiques, just observations. If everyone stuck to creating things that didn't have inspiration from something else and never made anything that wasn't completely original, then we'd have stopped creating any new stories hundreds of years ago. If you like Iron Man, Cole McGrath, and classic comic spandex super heroes enough to emulate them and make something of your own from the mix, good on you. Character's a bit naive, but considering he's 15 and a fairly regular kid despite the powers, I'm not judging there either. It'll be interesting to see how things go for him when he reaches Equestria and how he reacts to sudden extraordinary circumstances. There is where one could fail badly, writing wise. Anyway, on to the next chapter!

honestly, I didn't think anything about Iron man at all while thinking about my character. I based my character off cole McGrath, yes that is true. In fact, I might be putting in a karma system in it as well,

also, as you do the chapters up till 9. It might be a bit cringy. im not sure what people like. But this is what i thought of doing at the time. There was a huge break in between chapter 9 and 10

btw. forgot to mention. this character is actually me irl. the appearance was exactly what i was wearing the day i wrote it. the parents in later chapters are exagerrated, but right now, their dead on. faith is a real person and that actually happened to me. the eyes are wrong, its brown and green. the stuff i usually have in my backpack is books. the video game club is real. the schedule i described is my real schedule. (fuck extras) and the youtube channel and other people like ms martin are real
This is the good type of cringe. It actually tries, but it doesn't try to hard. The only thing that could be called a problem is how rushed the 'I'm the superhero' was. It felt like he wanted to do it, and not keep it secret. But other than that, It's pretty good.
I feel like after the revail to Faith it could say 'no point in hiding that', but what do I know? I can't even spell revail.

reveal.

and thanks for the compliment. i actually reworked chapter 1. chapters 2 through 9 have plotholes that i tried to fix in later chapters. but some got through that i completely ignored
8713594
ps. faith and what happens between her and i was real. just a forewarning.

will be explained in more detail in later chapters.
A little fast paced but good nonetheless! I’m getting a big Spider-Man vibe from this! Keep it up!

(this chapter was rewrote.)
Thats hate on frozen? Yea you need to..."let it go"
Self-fullfilling trollments. Fastest way to start it is by telling ppl no

ok, i will admit that this story was by far and wide, not my best. But at least it's better than a few of my others. I won't be rewriting the story because of two reason. one, I don't know exactly what I was thinking while I was writing it, and not knowing what I was thinking, the story quality will degrade greatly, and will create even more things to pick out. and two... I'm lazy

Also, the frozen references, I said because i had already been hearing them left right and center when i made this chapter in the real world. I was annoyed with it.
