The Backup Plan

Superheroes get the glory. Sidekicks get the concussion protocols.

Ethan Cole was supposed to be a rising hero—until a disastrous mission left him unemployed, humiliated, and reassigned to the Hero League’s Backup Program—a department where washed-up heroes, questionable recruits, and wildly underqualified sidekicks go to be forgotten.

Now, stuck leading a team of misfit rejects, Ethan just wants to keep his head down and survive his new reality. But when a low-level villain suddenly pulls off a citywide takeover, Ethan and the Backup Team find themselves in an actual crisis.

With zero support, minimal training, and a reputation for causing more damage than preventing it, Ethan’s squad is the city’s last hope. The only problem? No one takes the Backup Team seriously.

Packed with sharp humor, chaotic teamwork, and absurd hero antics, The Backup Plan is a laugh-out-loud superhero adventure where the underdogs take center stage—and somehow don’t die in the process.
