You'll Regret Cheating on a Superhero
The star superhero Bryan left his gravely injured secret wife Rachel to die in an explosion for better publicity. After sacrificing her career for their hidden marriage for 5 years, a devastated Rachel underwent agonizing genetic experiments in Vought’s Aurora Project. Reinvented as the first female superhero Lumina, she erased her former identity completely. All Bryan had left was her death certificate, doomed to gaze up at the woman he threw away.
Story Guide
Episode 1
A massive explosion tears through a city building — a terrorist attack — and the star superhero Bryan rushes in. Inside the rubble, his secret wife Rachel Warren lies broken, her leg shattered. Five years ago she gave up her position as lead researcher to make him what he is, believing she'd always be his priority. Then Bryan spots Chloe, the biggest singer in America, and makes his choice: her condition looks worse, and saving her flips his approval rating. "I'm a superhero, not just your hero," he tells Rachel. She swears that if he walks out with Chloe, they're finished.
Episode 2
Bryan leaves Rachel trapped and carries Chloe out in his arms. A stranger in a cape, Nova Man, pulls Rachel from the rubble and flies her to the hospital — without him, she'd have lost the leg. Stuck in a hospital bed, she watches the live coverage: Bryan won't put Chloe down, calls her "a very special woman," and doesn't deny a romance. His ratings are all that matter. Rachel's contact Zoe arrives, apologetic and ready to help. Rachel asks about the Aurora Project, the female superhero program. "I'm in," she says. "I'll be the first."
Episode 3
Zoe warns Rachel the genetic reshaping has only a 30% success rate, and that Rachel Warren will have to vanish completely — her own husband won't know where she went. Rachel doesn't flinch. Zoe recalls how Bryan was broke and desperate before Rachel vouched for him and stabilized his gene sequence; without her, there'd be no star sentinel at all. When Bryan appears, reporters are right outside, and he tells her she'll be on every front page. Rachel sets him free instead. She wants everything back: the power she gave him, the fame, the money. Zoe confirms the deal — sign, and a death certificate goes to her next of kin.
Episode 4
Bryan finally visits Rachel's hospital room, waving off her fractures and concussion as scratches. Chloe, he insists, is just a stunt to fix his tanking approval rating — the biggest pop star in the country can flip the narrative. Rachel reminds him that without the gene activation serum she designed, he'd have no powers at all. His answer: she did it because she wanted to, nobody forced her. Then he asks her to call Zoe for a booster batch — his supply is out. When Chloe appears at the door, Bryan introduces Rachel to her as "my acquaintance." Not his wife. An acquaintance.
Episode 5
"Acquaintance" lands like a slap. In front of Chloe, Bryan reduces five years of marriage to people who "used to know each other," then lets Chloe dismiss Rachel as drab and banged up. Rachel drifts back to the early days: Bryan's gene sequence spiking out of control, nearly killing him, and Rachel walking into the lab anyway. He promised then that he'd push through, become a superhero, marry her, and be her shield for life. Now she answers that promise herself: she doesn't need him to protect her anymore. From now on, she'll be her own shield.
Episode 6
It's their fifth anniversary, and Rachel returns home to pack for the lab — only to find the housekeeper more concerned about her than her husband is. On the coffee table sits a necklace, the one Rachel couldn't bring herself to buy at their wedding. She lets herself believe Bryan remembered, even considers delaying the transfer. Then Bryan walks in, complains about the empty fridge and dirty suits, and spots the necklace. It's for Chloe, he snaps — who let her touch it? The small hope she'd allowed herself dies right there.
Episode 7
Bryan shrugs off the necklace and the anniversary alike: Chloe is work, a thank-you gift, nothing to read into. Then Chloe calls — her first national tour opens tonight, and Bryan is her special guest. Rachel asks if he knows what day it is. He doesn't. "We can celebrate any time," he says. "Opening Chloe's tour only happens once." He walks out promising to make it up to her. Rachel stops waiting. She's already signed the contract, and she tells him there won't be a next year — there is no "us" anymore.
Episode 8
The night of the transfer arrives. Zoe reminds Rachel what's coming: pain that tears every cell apart and rebuilds it from scratch, worse than childbirth, lasting minutes or hours. Rachel says to do it. As the process begins, her mind drifts to Bryan's voice from the past — promising she'll be the only one he ever flies with. "Why does my heart hurt worse than all of this?" she wonders. When it ends, Rachel Warren is officially dead, and the agency will hand Bryan her death certificate.
Episode 9
Chloe begs Bryan to stay for her opening-night after-party, but for once he says no — he promised someone he'd be home. Chloe threatens to block him if he walks out. It doesn't matter. At home, Bryan finds Rachel gone and her phone off, and the panic finally hits. Then the world meets Lumina, the only superwoman alive, declaring she now lives for herself. The man who left her to die is left holding a death certificate and a question he can't answer: who did he throw away?
If you love a good "you'll regret this" payoff, this one's worth a binge — start it tonight and watch the tables turn.
