But more differently. --- In the world of Hero Inside, comic book writers possess a rare and incredible ability—the power to bring their creations to life. Much like the Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, these living characters act as powerful extensions of the writer's imagination, only with far stricter rules and limitations. While this phenomenon is technically possible for both heroes and villains, the nature of the creative process has resulted in almost exclusively heroic figures emerging. Villains are rare, their existence nearly unheard of, due to the intricate energy and emotional dedication required to manifest such beings. These characters, once brought to life, possess free will and independent thought. They are fully realized individuals with their own desires, personalities, and choices. However, their loyalty to their creator cannot be overridden. Should their writer issue a direct command, the character must follow it, no matter their own thoughts or feelings. This creates a delicate balance—while the characters live their own lives, the writer holds ultimate control if they choose to exert it. Creating one of these characters is no simple task. A writer cannot simply scribble down "My character is an all-powerful god," and expect them to come to life. For a character to manifest, the writer must craft a detailed backstory filled with passion, heart, and purpose. The character must be believable, grounded in a narrative that defines their strengths, weaknesses, and limits. The more powerful the character, the more energy it requires to bring them to life. A hero capable of bending reality or shattering mountains would demand an enormous toll on the writer's strength, making such creations rare and difficult to sustain. Once a comic is finished, it becomes immutable. Writers cannot simply add new details or powers to an existing creation after completion. The finality of the creative process means that writers must carefully craft their characters with intention, ensuring that every ability, weakness, and trait is woven into the original narrative. This limitation is crucial in maintaining balance, preventing impulsive or unfair changes that could corrupt the integrity of the world. Additionally, a character cannot manifest unless the comic itself achieves some level of popularity. A writer pouring their soul into a forgotten work will not summon their hero into reality. The character must resonate with an audience, connecting with readers in a way that grants them presence and identity. This requirement prevents the world from being overrun with endless creations, ensuring that only those born from genuine passion and dedication take form. At the heart of this world is a young comic book enthusiast who possesses a rare ability known as "Comic Creation." This extraordinary power allows him to bring not just one, but five fully realized characters to life simultaneously. This ability proves vital in a climactic conflict where he must summon these five champions to oppose an exceptionally powerful and dangerous character. To achieve victory, he faces a nearly impossible task: finding a way to make his own character strong enough to defeat this overwhelming threat. Faced with no other option, the young creator pushes the limits of his gift. Since altering a finished comic is impossible, he uses "Comic Creation" itself to break this rule. By crafting a story so compelling and emotionally powerful that it resonates deeply with readers, he creates a loophole—a narrative so impactful that it bends the established boundaries, empowering his creation in a way no ordinary writer could achieve. This final act cements his place as one of the most gifted and daring writers in history, demonstrating the immense power that comes from passion, creativity, and belief in one's characters. The Hero Books are a series of 100 magical superhero comic books created by a man named Scott Weller. When held by people with strong imaginations, otherwise known as “Readers,” and the name of the titular Hero Book superhero is said by the Reader, said superhero is summoned into the real world. Functions When a Hero Book is held by a Reader and the name of the Hero Book’s titular superhero is said by the Reader, the superhero is summoned into the real world. In order for a Hero to return to their Hero Book, their Reader must tell them to “Return” or they must be exhausted of their power, usually by being defeated or using their “Comicalize” power. When summoned, the Reader and the Hero are psychically linked, which allows the Reader to command the Hero to do whatever they ask as long as their voice can reach the Hero, whether they want to or not. However, the Heroes have been shown to act on their own without being given an order by their Reader. Every Hero Book Hero has a special power dubbed a “Comicalize power,” which requires the Reader to say “Comicalize! (Attack Name)!” However, using this power also uses up a lot of their Reader’s imagination, which leaves their Reader exhausted and causes their Hero to normally return to their Hero Book. While most Readers are seen summoning one Hero at a time, certain Readers have been shown to be capable of summoning more than one Hero at the same time. Heroes can be "Supervillains" if the Readers are morally corrupt and terrible people because their core purpose is to obey the commands of their original Reader. For Super Scott specifically, he felt oppressed by this very core function of his existential being, thus making him hard to summon. Although the premise is 100 heroes, the officials did say there might be even more heroes than the defined 100. In order for the Heroes to do their attack and Comicalize skill, the Reader needs to shout loud enough in order for the Heroes to hear the move in which they command them to do. However, Mike has been shown to be strong enough at times to simply imagine it in order for the Comicalize ability to be performed. He's also capable of summoning multiple heroes at a time and doing a create Comicalize, a special version of Comicalizing which involves comical objects and/or effects. If Readers summon heroes that are also used by other Readers, they can still control their original hero. The only known caveat is the fact that if another Reader were to use the ability and then call for them to return back, the hero will be transferred to them. History Prior to the series, the Hero Books were all created by a man named Scott Weller, who possessed both a strong imagination and a passion for drawing superhero comics, even allowing his niece, Lucy, to help him come up with a few superhero ideas, such as Super Scott. However, Scott’s brother believed he was a bad influence on Lucy since his hobby apparently cost Scott his job, and he was forbidden from seeing Lucy again. Through means not known yet, Scott somehow managed to make his comic books bring his superheroes to life.

Unnamed/Leaked heroes: There's a bunch of heroes that currently didn't appear in the show yet appeared in some of the official leaks and posts. Trivia Hero Books can only be wielded by people who have strong imaginations (Readers like Mike), meaning that people who have no imagination, like Nick, cannot use them at all. The Hero Books appear to be quite durable, as Crying Man’s book survived being soaked with his tear blasts without any noticeable signs of damage. The terms “Hero Books” and “Readers” began to be commonly used starting in the episode Give Me My Gloves to describe the books and the people capable of using them. In the episode Coin Robber, it was revealed that Scott always put the Dizzy Donut shop in a majority of his comic books. According to the X page of a producer/story artist of Hero Inside, @HeroOutsider, the following information was revealed: In order to properly use a Hero Book, the Reader must: 1). Be touching the Hero Book, 2). Call out the Hero’s name, and 3). To summon the hero back into the book, they must touch the book and shout “(Hero’s name), RETURN!” If a Reader takes another Reader’s Hero Book while the Hero is still summoned, the Reader can still control their Hero. However, if the other Reader tells the Hero to “Return”, the Hero will become theirs. Only people with great imagination can summon and control heroes from Hero Books. Once summoned, the Reader and Hero are psychically linked. It is implied that there may be more than the 100 Hero Books Scott made before he disappeared. Reader’s can only control a Hero if their voice can reach them. Sometimes, Heroes read each other’s comic books. Scott put his name as a logo on every Hero Book. - --- - Appearance of Super Scott:Super Scott is a tall Caucasian man with dark brown hair styled in a long bob cut. He sports thick glasses and is often seen wearing a white suit paired with a patterned dark green shirt. A purple cloth napkin is neatly tucked into his front pocket, and a gold watch adorns his left wrist. Beneath this civilian attire, Super Scott dons a striking blue superhero suit with white trunks and boots, gold accents, a flowing white cape, and the large gold letters “SC” emblazoned on his chest. This contrast between his refined civilian look and his bold superhero attire reflects his conflicted nature and inner turmoil. Personality of Super Scott:Super Scott is a complex and manipulative figure whose true personality remains enigmatic for much of the story. Initially, he presents himself as composed, intelligent, and even caring, particularly toward his elderly Reader, Cynthia. However, this seemingly noble façade is betrayed by his condescension and ruthless manipulation of those around him. He frequently demeans others, such as labeling Dirko a disgrace to his face while cunningly using him and the Council of Comics as pawns in his broader scheme. Super Scott's ambition to impose "True Justice" exposes his dark philosophy: a belief that the world must be controlled by a superior force — himself — that decides who lives and who dies. He holds a twisted sense of superiority, regarding most heroes as pathetic and despising his own superhero persona, considering his costume to be a humiliating disgrace. His tyrannical vision reveals a dangerous desire for dominance masked under his warped ideal of justice. Powers & Abilities of Super Scott:Super Scott possesses extraordinary strength, capable of delivering earth-shattering punches and lifting immense weights with ease. His speed far surpasses that of the human eye, rendering even speeding bullets to appear in slow motion. He has the ability to project devastating laser beams from his eyes, strong enough to obliterate solid objects with surgical precision. His near-invulnerability allows him to withstand virtually any attack, save for the sheer overwhelming force delivered by Mr. Justice’s combined strike — the power of 100 of Super Scott’s own punches. During a tense confrontation with the SFPD, debris began levitating around him, suggesting an additional power related to telekinesis or flight. His formidable skill set makes him one of the most powerful beings in his universe. History/Lore of Super Scott:Super Scott’s origins lie in the creative mind of Scott Weller, who initially designed the character from a drawing inspired by his niece, Lucy. Despite being labeled a "deadbeat" by his brother, Scott was deeply ambitious and driven to bring his niece’s vision to life. Super Scott was intended to embody heroism and strength, yet his ideals twisted over time. Super Scott eventually betrayed his creator’s principles by embracing a ruthless belief that only the strong should survive, abandoning those he deemed unworthy of saving. This divergence shattered his relationship with Scott, ultimately resulting in Scott sealing him away in a Hero Book. Years later, after Scott's disappearance, Super Scott’s bitterness grew, particularly over Scott's continued support of "weaker" heroes. His contempt extended to Mr. Justice, whom he viewed as an embarrassment to the title of hero. Upon gaining his freedom, Super Scott sought to impose his own version of order upon the world, willing to sacrifice countless lives to achieve it. His manipulations and willingness to discard anyone in pursuit of his twisted goals marked him as a dangerous and relentless threat to humanity. - -- --- -- - Appearance of Dirko: Dirko is an overweight man with a round face, pale skin, and a greasy complexion. His light blond hair is styled in a bowl cut, parted in the middle, and slightly unkempt. He has thin, round glasses that sit low on his nose, giving him a smug, self-satisfied look. His face often carries an arrogant smirk or a scowl, reflecting his abrasive personality. He wears a green plaid button-up shirt that is usually left unbuttoned, revealing a shark-themed graphic t-shirt underneath. His shirt is loose and wrinkled, suggesting a lack of care for his appearance. Dirko sports baggy brown shorts that reach just past his knees, paired with long white socks that are pulled up high, further emphasizing his disheveled and childish demeanor. Completing his look are brown sandals, adding to his overall lazy and unkempt style. Personality of Dirko: Dirko is, to put it simply, a very abrasive manchild, treating most people around him with disdain, including his own mother, and is prone to throwing tantrums when he doesn’t get his way (as shown when his “Glass Jaw Gary” action figure broke). He’s also shown to be rather narcissistic, complaining about how his mother kicked him out of her house (after he yelled at her and caused her basement to be flooded) after “all the years he let her take care of [him.]” He is perfectly willing to cross moral lines to get what he wants, such as when he made Black Knight break into someone’s house to steal the person’s Hero Book or holding Nick hostage to get Mike to come to him with his Hero Book, initially to try and recruit him to his Council of Comics and then to try to take his Hero Book by force when he refused. He blatantly misuses his Hero Book Heroes and forces them to do his dirty work for him, even if innocent people get hurt along the way. Dirko claims to do this because people like him and his Council of Comics (nerds, dorks, etc.) are constantly mistreated and bullied, but as Mike rightly points out, this just makes him even worse than his tormentors, making Dirko a hypocrite. He is also shown to be a sore loser, deciding to use both Mag B and Sparkules to create a makeshift bomb to destroy the city of San Francisco after Super Awesome Man and X defeated him and vowed to always stop him merely to spite them. Despite his many negative traits, he is capable of showing some form of respect, but only to those who share his ideals, such as his Council of Comics, and he was devastated after they were defeated by Super Awesome Man and X. Regardless of this, Dirko is the perfect example of why some people should never be given such power (Hero Books), as he chose to abuse it every chance he got. Hero Books of Dirko: Black Knight Mummy Girl Sparkules Mac B Ginseng Man Sugar Sugar Pang Pang Toxo Locust Relationships of Dirko: The Council of Comics - Dirko was the leader of the group The Council of Comics, together with Hot Button 81, Skullcrusher, and King Blockbuster. The council created a revenge called “Nerd Utopia a.k.a. NerdTopia.” The council under Dirko was defeated by Mike’s Group following Villains vs Heroes, meaning Dirko was no longer part of the Council, and Skullcrusher took over as the leader of the Council. Bobby - His roommate and partner-in-crime. Dirko began living with Bobby sometime after Villains vs Heroes, with Bobby helping Dirko boost his imagination to further heights using Professor Z and appears to be helping Dirko plan his revenge on behalf of the Secret Organization Bobby works for. The two get along quite well in day-to-day life and are quite chummy and supportive of each other. - -- --- -- -
