A Plus-Size Superhero's Origin Story: Heroes Come in All Sizes
Written on
Chapter 1: The Ordinary Life of Taylor
Once upon a time, Taylor Mildred led a typical life, stopping for a quick coffee on her way to work, honking at rude drivers, and rolling her eyes at obnoxious social media personalities. However, everything changed when a meteorite struck near her town, claiming many lives. Fortunately, Taylor emerged unscathed, leaving her puzzled about her miraculous survival.
After several media interviews, she tried to forget about the tragedy and started anew, despite the disapproving glances from her neighbors. Almost a month later, she began experiencing strange symptoms—high fever and vomiting a peculiar purple substance. Knowing this had to be linked to the meteorite, she sought out a scientist to uncover the mystery.
Section 1.1: Meeting Dr. Monaghan
She found Doctor Cameron Monaghan, an elderly man with large bifocals that exaggerated his dark eyes. He claimed to be an expert on meteorite effects. As Taylor lay on his examination table, he asked about her symptoms.
"My temperature is really high, and I've been vomiting this purple goo," she explained.
"Purple goo?" he echoed, intrigued. "What does it look like?"
"It was bizarre, almost alien," she replied.
The doctor set aside his clipboard, revealing an understanding look. "I know what's happening. This isn't the first time I've seen this phenomenon."
"What do you mean?" Taylor asked, her heart racing.
"Years ago, a similar meteorite incident led to one survivor whose DNA transformed dramatically, granting him incredible powers. But he chose a dark path."
Taylor's concern grew. "What happened to him?"
"I created restraints to control his abilities," the doctor replied. "But if you're undergoing a transformation...”
"I promise to be good!" Taylor exclaimed, raising her hands defensively. "I'll learn to control whatever powers I might develop!"
"Relax, my dear," he chuckled. "You don't seem like the type to follow his path."
Section 1.2: Discovering New Powers
Days later, Taylor began to notice unusual abilities. One morning, she found herself floating above her bed and accidentally broke her apartment door. Her landlord would not be pleased.
"You may have flight capabilities, enhanced strength... anything else?" Dr. Monaghan mused as he recorded her evolving powers.
"I don’t get hurt like I used to, and my senses feel sharper," Taylor admitted.
"Fascinating!" he exclaimed. "You could surpass my previous patient. We must test your limits!"
"Let’s do it!"
Over the next few months, Taylor underwent an intense training regimen. Through rigorous testing, she discovered she could fly, survive without oxygen, and possess superhuman strength and resilience.
By the end of her training, Dr. Monaghan proudly declared her the world's first superhero.
Chapter 2: Embracing Her Identity
"There's no way I'm a hero!" Taylor protested, gesturing to her curves, which she had always been self-conscious about. Society often depicted heroes as slender and conventionally attractive, leaving her doubts.
"My dear, heroes come in all shapes and sizes," the doctor reassured her. "What truly matters is your heart and character."
"Really?" she asked, beginning to reconsider her self-image.
"Absolutely! In life-and-death moments, no one will care about your clothing size," he replied.
"True," Taylor laughed, already considering potential hero costumes that would fit her.
"Exactly. You're human, after all," he said. "I've even had an indestructible, fireproof suit custom-made for you."
"Are you serious?!" she exclaimed, following him to a secured cabinet. He opened it to reveal a stunning red and navy suit with a striking crimson cape.
"Wow!" she gasped.
"As I said, heroes come in all sizes," the doctor reiterated.
