Succeeding in a Superpowered Bureaucracy

Consider a superhero whose abilities might not traditionally be seen as “heroic” but are highly valuable in a bureaucratic structure.

With this prompt, you can create a unique narrative by questioning conventionally accepted ideas about what constitutes true heroism. At first glance, a superhero who excels at filling out paperwork, scheduling, or telecommunication might not seem exciting—but how do these powers benefit government organization and effectiveness? Reflect on themes of underestimated abilities, the mundane versus the spectacular, and how these themes play into perceptions of heroism.
