When the son of a dreamer heads to college he is already balancing his single mother’s issues with immigration, the expectations of his community and the culture shock of going to college. Discovering that his roommate can fly was certainly unexpected, but he finds the rabbit hole just keeps going deeper when he joins the agency responsible for keeping the world from becoming collateral damage of super conflicts or the social blowback of finding out that super powers are real.

The ambitious but reserved son of a dreamer discovers a hidden world of supers and joins the agency that keeps the secret, only to discover he has been in denial of his own, subtle superpower.

So, what is your reluctant hero’s goal? Beyond hero discovery and him getting absorbed into an agency – what does he bring to the table to make this premise unique? Who is your baddie and what is their goal?
Hope you find this constructive, take care.
Fundamentally his goal is to understand this new world and to find a sense of autonomy within it- goals which can be in conflict with each other in this situation.
Additionally there are multiple baddies- there is the casual anti-super bigotry within the agency on the one hand and and the threat of would be super heroes disrupting society in ways that do more harm than good on the other. plus a few other plot twist villains, which is why I am planning for this to be a series.
Cool, but who is he? e.g., is he an immigrant super endowed with ancient Aztec powers? Generally curious, and the logline can be refashioned around your super, with a goal of balancefinding their place in a world of shadow supers and supervillains.
