MTAS

New York City’s underbelly is a breeding ground for crime, corruption, and guys who always seem to get away. It’s also home to three of the worst superheroes you’ve never heard of.

NATE “SPLAT” MORENO – Mr. Turnthafuckup

Nate was a street artist before a radioactive spider crawled out of a can of spray paint and bit his hand. The next day, he could stick to walls, swing between buildings, and move faster than a subway rat on a pizza slice.

The problem? He had zero coordination. His landings were a disaster. He once tried to stop a mugger, missed his target, and slammed straight into a food cart, covering himself in hot dog water. The mugger got away laughing.

BECKA “NO CHILL” BLAKE – The Reckless One

Becka was an underground boxer before she got bit. She had the power, the reflexes, the agility—but not the patience. She figured if she was gonna be a hero, she’d do it her way: hard and fast.

She didn’t believe in stealth. She’d swing in, fists first, and ask questions later. Most fights ended with her punching a guy through a store window, missing the actual criminal, and owing someone a lot of money.

BRAD “GHOST WEB” SANTOS – The Leader

Brad was the smartest of the three. A coder by day, a wannabe crimefighter by night, he had all the skills—super senses, perfect aim, an actual plan. But when the moment came?

He froze.

He’d hesitate, calculating a hundred outcomes in his head while the bad guy just… walked away. He once spent five minutes debating whether webbing a guy’s ankle was excessive force. By the time he decided, the dude was already in an Uber.

THE NEVER-ENDING LOSSES

They called themselves The MT The city called them MTAS. Every night, they hit the streets, ready to make a difference. Every night, they failed in new and spectacular ways.

They tried to stop a bank robbery—Becka threw a punch so hard, she knocked herself out.

They tried to chase down a carjacker—Nate webbed himself to a speeding taxi and nearly lost his life.

They tried to track down a crime boss—Brad spent so long making a PowerPoint about it that the guy retired before they could catch him.

THE HOPE OF THE HOPELESS

Despite everything, they kept going. Not because they were good at it. Not because they ever won. But because someone had to try.

And maybe, just maybe, one day, they’d actually catch a bad guy.

Or at least stick the landing.
