Damaged

Description

In a world where superpowers range from trivial to god-like, John Harkin—known on the streets as Damaged—fights for the forgotten. Unlike the government-backed Paragons, who save cities and battle world-ending threats, Damaged operates in the shadows, protecting the people left behind.

Raised in an abusive home, John learned early that pain makes you tougher. His body remembers every injury, building resistance to wounds he's suffered before—but he heals at a normal rate, meaning new injuries still hurt like hell. His scars are his armor, his fists his weapons, and his work never stops.

Chapters will continuously be added, keep an eye out!

Cool idea for a hero very punisher like but with a mix of other heroes too, love the dynamic of him having to receive punishment to allow him to become more durable, living through each battery getting just a little bit tougher each time! Love it! Keep it up I'll be reading more!

I love how his power started off almost useless just dulling pain but it even helps with his strength when his muscles heal from damage, perfect name for him too.

A very fun read with some cool characters, and I’m really looking forward to reading more. The way the story builds around the protagonist's power is fantastic—his ability started off seeming almost useless, just dulling pain, but as the story unfolds, we see how it evolves and becomes so much more. I love how the power even helps with his strength, especially when his muscles heal from damage. It adds a unique layer to the narrative, and you can really see how the character grows. The name you’ve chosen for him is perfect, too. It feels so fitting and adds to the overall charm of the character.
Thank you so much for creating this content; it’s been a joy to experience. I’d be incredibly excited to see this story adapted into a graphic novel one day. It would be amazing to see how the world and characters are brought to life visually, and I’m curious to see what art style you would choose to bring this story to its fullest potential. Your creativity is something I really appreciate, and I can’t wait to see where this goes next. Keep up the amazing work, and I’m sure your audience will continue to grow!

This is good story!
MC 4/5 because he can't use 100% his power but not really stupid. He has character, is well-developed but still has room for growth.
Story 3.5/5 need more details to make anything have more logic.
Another characters 3.5/5 need more details to make them logic.
