DPP: Pilots As Superheroes!

[winegums.livejournal.com]

We've imagined pilots a ton of different ways in AUs, but today I want us to try out a new way (or maybe not even that new, but certainly worth revisiting): Pilots as Superheroes!

I mean, don't they look iconic and superheroic here:



So what would they be like as superheroes, Shipper Nation? Any theories about what superpowers they'd have? Or how they came by them/origin stories? Or how they ended up working together in the first place (cause the only thing better than a superhero is a superhero team)

(And of course, the evils they'd have to face/conquer, because what is a superhero without those? The same goes for their costumes - what would you have them wear when they're in save-the-world mode? Catsuits? Capes?)

Any ideas, people? Put them in the comments! (along with fic, fic recs, gifs, manips, what have you)

(edit: rachelindeed has written this AWESOME pilots crossover with the Batman 'verse in the comments here, everyone should read it!)

I LOVE THIS, it makes so much sense for Bill and Lee's respective methods of working to clash (and puts them back on familiar footing) and pilots getting to know each other over post-battle medical care is awesome beyond belief. As is the mid-exit flirting, and this line that gives me endless giggle and squee:

But Kara still remembered the access code to the cycle, the route out from the side entrance, and the color of Lee’s eyes.

You are fantastic, bb
