Summary

It had been Tommy and Tubbo for practically forever. They clawed their way out of hell together. They discovered their superpowers together. They started working for the Superhero Guild together before even coming of age. Tommy probably owed Tubbo his life ten times over. So, when the three supervillains he'd been assigned to bring in managed to take Tubbo hostage, well, there was really only one thing to do.He knew, of course, he was signing himself up for torture and death by offering that trade, but that was okay.It'd have to be okay.

I'm Excited ! Your AU is really interesting I guess the superheroes are just Dream marionettes to enforce a dystopic regime ? It looks like it with the control of the food supply.

Ohhhhh this one is an INSTANT SUBSCRIBE I AM SO HYPED!!! I love how you incorporated the origins smp stuff and created chickeninnit I’m literally in love with this concept. I’m SO excited for SBI family, but something tells me based on that last comment that you will most definitely be tearing my heart into a million tiny pieces......AND I AM HERE FOR IT. ALSO I SEE YOU ABUSIVE TELETUBBY DREAM! I SEE YOU AND SOON THE SBI WILL SEE YOU AND ONCE THEY DO YOU SHALL DIE A PAINFUL DEATH!!! (Fantastic first chapter! I can’t wait to see where this goes! <3)

Hello!! As an enjoyer of Labels, I am mildly afraid for this fic! But I'm also certain there's going to be a lot of unexpected fluff! Your superhero aus are always amazing and I am excited for this one!!!

Something about the fact that growing free food is illegal- and that Dream is the leader of the superheroes, but so willing to cut off pay when hard (if not impossible tasks) aren't completed- makes me think that the "heroes" in this story won't be.

SO. i binge read this from start to finish last night and wow, holy shit, this fic is great and I am having a great time. instead of initiating usual protocol (ie dumping a big review on the most recent chapter and then rereading the whole damn thing until next chapter goes up), i wanted to go thru and post a review on each chap bc each one introduces some really cool stuff and i wanna be able to touch on it all!!!so first chapter!! i Love started in media res so i might be biased but the fight scene at the start is so fun. also CHICKENINNIT!! i can't tell you how much i appreciate chickeninnit being his superhero powers like i find it really funny that everyone else later on has really insane, OTT powers and he just. floats. on a more ~literary analysis~ note it points to how he IS smart and able to strategise, and also how determined he is, especially with his great escape here. you can see the "quick wit, stubbornness and dumb luck" before you even need to spell it out in the narration it really Adds to it all yknowi love wilbur being all talk without actually being able to (or intending to, judging by later chaps lol) carry out his increasingly gory threats lol. also i love that he has the kinda siren powers but also they're able to affect the environment around him? that's so cool. the blade and avian philza are just Classics naturally love their banter here (also side note tommy mentioning that techno once /could/ have gotten him with a blade but didn't "for some unknown reason"...villains with decent morals SBI i see and appreciate you)also LOVE the bit with dream like. the aside about how tommy is quiet around him, despite not being a quiet person...contrasted with how snippy he is with SBI, even though he believes he's in mortal peril around them......Hmm. Hmm, y'all. also Wow not only are you extorting actual teenagers by having them fight crime you're cutting off their income jesus dude what an assholealso love a community garden like Yes mutual aid am I right

I always viewer SBI as being more of the retired hero type, but seeing the *dystopian* aspect of this?? (Which is my favourite thing ever btw, dystopia and hero's? 10/10) It both makes sense, and just, I love this anyway

i was giving my Thoughts while reading so here they are in order:ah yes, time to mercilessly make fun of another wilbur variant for picking a shit superhero/supervillain namethe fuck kind of name is "whippoorwill"his power is fuckin,,,,,super sound, innit?like yell real loud it breaks things more than usualjust name himself whiplash and be done with iti am still on the first chapterbut i Am going to make fun of himoh did his dad choose that name for him???? birdza???? huh??? little bitch boy???? /jlike first of all, the real villain here is capitalismrefusing to pay someone and keeping them overtime is def illegalalso, community gardens are illegal???? what??? its illegal to ahve seeds??????liesi think the "villains" here are just people who stuck up for what they believed inand the true villains are the bitches in chargei think theres a government to dismantle get in 🚗"Tommy paused. Oh, this was very illegal, he thought, as peered around him at what after a moment of observation was obviously rows of vegetables. An uncontrolled food source? Whoever had planted this could face so much jail time and that was before accounting for however they had gotten the seeds. By all rights as a superhero, Tommy should call this in immediately."if the government is upset by an "uncontrolled food source"why is a government so interested in controlled the food?? hm??? asking the real questionsthat is all, thank you for listening to my thoughts. i am going in blind, all i was told is "sbi superpowers au"

Hi! This fic lives rent-free in my head, and so when I was designing my own superpowers AU I kept going back to this one to be like "hmmm how can I steal these emotional beats and make them my own". So! You're officially in the inspired-by section of my heist-with-superpowers AU, even though it might make you scratch your head to see the commonalities. Thank you for writing such a fun and inspiring story!
