I have been on a kick of reading superhero fiction lately.
So in the interests of turning up some more recommendations I thought I would pass along my own.
My Recs:
Published Prose:
"Soon, I will be invincible!" by Austin Grossman
Just awesome. A look at a Dr. Doom type guy from inside his head, among others.
"In Hero Years... I'm Dead" by Michael Stackpole
Also awesome. A former hero tries to rebuild his life after being gone for many years.
Web Serials:
"Worm" by Wildbow
Very good, but not finished. A young girl grows into her powers and ends up almost-accidentally turning into a super-villain.

"Legion of Nothing"
A group of childhood friends deal with being "Legacy" heros and stepping into the very big shoes left for them.

"Whateley Academy stories" by Many.
I have gone through most of it, and most of it is fairly high quality. Warning for TG.

Any good fanfic for established universes or the like would be fine, or even decent COH fanfic.
