Herman Schultz is having a bad week.
All he wants is to commit enough crime to give him a comfortable lifestyle as a supervillain. But the world seems to have other plans: in the last few days, he’s resisted arrest, fought off Electro, been captured by Spiderman, been almost eaten by several hundred zombies, become an internet sensation, looted groceries, and tried to find out why a mysterious evil mastermind keeps trying to destroy his life.
And, to cap things off, the Punisher’s just shot him.
Polarity is a brilliant look at what happens to a supervillain when he’s caught up in a zombie apocalypse and, for the first time in his life, tries to be a hero. It’s long, plotty, and extremely fun.
For those of you who are familiar with the Marvel universe, this fic is very familiar with canon. For those of you who aren’t… you really don’t need to be. While the writer delights in throwing in off-hand references to past storylines, the sum total of what you need to know about Marvel can be summarised as follows:
1) There are superheroes, and supervillains, running around in costume.
2) Spiderman is one of the superheroes.
Everything else will be explained for you.
There are a few unexpected scene changes that appear without warning, and more than a few typos – but honestly, I don’t care. This fic is WONDERFUL in every way, and you should all go and read it. If you like plotty fics, then this one’s for you.
The good news? The exploding truck broke my fall.
