Hello everyone,
I am a Minnesota filmmaker and creator of the superhero short [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHFfn83vVfY] [i]Super Academy[/i][/url], which was recently featured on the Nostalgia Critic, during his [url=http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/41449-man-of-steel]Man of Steel Review[/url]. Due to the praise we have received, we are currently working to expand Super Academy into a full web-series.
You can see the original short [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHFfn83vVfY]here.[/url]
The setting is a school for superheros, and centers around two students; Powerkid and Dark Cop.
Powerkid is a shy freshman,with super strength. His greatest secret is that he is the son of a world famous super villain named DEATHSIDE. Meanwhile, Dark Cop is a super genius without powers. He has no filter, and will tell people exactly what he thinks of them. Through there battles together, the two form a bond of friendship. The series is primarily comedy, but mixes in superhero action.
We are, at this moment, holding a [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/benlifson/super-academy-a-superhero-comedy-webseries]Kickstarter for this superhero series[/url]. A more in-depth description of the project is available on our Kickstarter page and video, as well as our [url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Super-Academy-The-Web-Series/396759377103973]Facebook Page[/url].
If this interests you, I can answer any questions people may have on the project. I will also be interviewed by the Phoenix Projects own [url=http://www.namesakeradio.com/]DJ Dee[/url] on December 14th.
Thank you all,
Sincerely,
Ben Lifson

HA! Deathside... a sad name for a villain. He sounds as if he's one of those Golden Age flunkies that used to pass for true evil.
"This is coming from 'Lord Nightmare'?"
SILENCE, YOU FOOL!
OOC: I love the idea behind it (As the Critic said, it's like Sky High but way more awesome!) and do hope you guys do well and that we get to see some of the creations in CoT... also, as with Sky High, I'd like to ask how villains get trained. Do they still attend the same academy but go a darker route?

Thank you. Yes, we have been thinking about ways in which young villains get there education. A surprising amount come from the Super Academy itself, using the training to there advantage. Though the school tries to screen all there applicants first. Plus, Super Academy isn't the only super-power training school in the world, and unofficial "Villain Academy's" exist.
As for Deathside, yea, I wanted to give him the most overly evil name I could think of. Thinking of these names is actually one of the most fun parts of writing!
