Apex Shadow - Episode #01 - A Fear of Flying (Dark Super Hero Audio Drama)
joshuahoqk for The Blitz
So let's get this out of the way-- The Blitz, AKA Rory Redman, is a gigantic piece of human trash covered head to toe in red, lightning-branded spandex. He's a speedster. Before our story starts, he's assaulted numerous women, and our inciting incident sees him paying a heavy, final price for that. I know for me, portraying characters who have done such things can be a real hurdle, so I want to make sure you know what you're getting into. If it helps-- he doesn't stick around for very long! ;)

[Facing imminent death, raging against your would-be murderer]
Fuck you. Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea who you're fucking with? You think you can do this to me? I'm a fucking superhero...!
[In flashback, telling your wife about a serum that will mimic your powers in an emergency-- superhero fiction is a hell of a thing!]
This cost a fortune, but if it keeps you safe, it'll be worth it. Remember, babe-- only use this in a serious emergency. If everything's totally fucked beyond belief. If something happens to me. If my enemies find you. It's a one-shot deal, and the effects will be gone in 72 hours.
