Superhero fashion.  You know what paparazzi are into?  The Looks.  What superheroes are changing it up?  What are the designs based on?  Superhero costumes are a legacy passed down from the imaginations of revolutionaries--it’s the costume that people see first, and the costume that people remember.

What do gossip mags like more than scandals?  Lists.  Lists of what, you ask?  ANYTHING AND E V E R Y T H I N G.  Lists of top ten heroes, lists of heroes with villainous quirks, lists of great saves and lists of complete fails caught on camera... the list of lists goes on and on.

Interviews.  Everyone has a burning question for their favorite hero, but we’re the lucky people who actually get to ask them!  From ‘what do you do in your spare time’ to ‘what’s your favorite animal’, the interview questions are endless.

Trouble afoot!  It’s not just the heroes that get airtime in a superhuman world--there’s also space for villains, vigilantes, vandals, and vulgarity.  Stain captivated the masses with his vicious hero attacks--what other forces are the heroes up against?  Or might someone we know have--gasp--turned to the dark side?

Laws!  New laws and the lawmakers who make them can be very inconvenient for pro heroes.  Or, on the other hand, they can give heroes the room to thrive!  What legalese does the public need to know in order to follow their favorite heroes?  Does the law require hero partnerships for specific jobs, for instance?  What, exactly, is the difference between a vigilante and a pro hero?

Vigilantes!  Of course it’s not just the heroes and villains we’re following at VICTORY Mag--we also follow the exploits of the people working from the shadows!  What familiar faces does the public want to see?  Are there any vigilantes with known identities?  Did someone we know fail to make the cut when push came to shove?  

Ad revenue.  What magazine would be complete without ads?  Of course, in a world like theirs, every marketing team worth their salt is bound to be salivating over getting a contract with any high-profile hero--especially ones in the coveted Top Ten slots!

Merchandise.  Every hero has a Brand--and every agency is out to sell that Brand to anyone willing to shell out the cash.  What does that mean?  MERCHANDISE.  HERO PARAPHERNALIA.  Playing cards, footie pajamas, soft drinks, and action figures... there’s an ad for just about anything you can think of.
