Action! Characters! Dialogue! Exposition! Normalized has it all!
When Captain Might started writing his journal he was on top of the world. Being a superhero was a blast – freezing bad guys with his super breath and uppercutting them into orbit – what’s not to love?

It’s a merry old game, the ping pong of good versus evil, or at least it was before the Cap's nemesis, Professor D’eath, tossed out the rule book and started straight up murdering folk.
Suddenly Captain Might is catapulted into in the real world – a world of public inquiries and law suits and media witch hunts - and to make matters worse, D’eath has poached sixteen-hundred pounds of weapons-grade plutonium and looks set to scratch ‘ALL THE HUMANS’ on the side of a gigantic funeral urn. No doubt about it, things are about to get a whole lot uglier before they get worse…
