Kid Normal and the Final Five

The Heroes’ Alliance has operated in secret for decades, but that’s all set to change. Super-smarmy uber-villain Nicholas Knox has a plan to become the planet’s most powerful leader, and he’s using the Heroes to do it. He’s revealed the existence of Heroes to the world at large, painting them as mad, bad and dangerous to know.

With fear and suspicion of Capes growing among the public, Heroes are forced underground, making it harder than ever to do their duty and combat evil wherever they find it. And all the while Knox is reaping the rewards of their efforts...

Can Kid Normal and the Super Zeroes take down Knox and prove that superheroes aren’t the enemy once and for all? 

Chris Smith is an award-winning author, broadcaster and parent (a mug saying ‘World’s Greatest Dad’ counts as an award, right?). He grew up in leafy Northamptonshire and now lives in not-as-leafy north London with his wife, son and a cat called Mabel who can talk. If you listen very carefully to the George Michael song ‘Outside’ you can hear a sample of Chris reading the news. He makes excellent tea. @itschrissmith / @chrissmithstagram

Greg James is also an award-winning author and broadcaster, best known for hosting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, but he hasn’t won any awards for being a parent because he isn’t one. He circumnavigated the M25 during his childhood and is now living with his wife Bella and their dog Barney in north London. Greg and Chris’s houses are connected by a secret tunnel that they use for exchanging ideas via an elaborate pulley system. He makes terrible tea. @gregjames / @greg_james
