Synopsis:
No Heroics is set on a world much like our own, except for the existence of superheroes. However, having powers doesn't make them any less screwed up than the rest of humanity, if not moreso. Set mostly in the superhero pub The Fortress, the four main characters are largely outsiders in the superhero community; two (Electroclash and Timebomb) by choice, two (the Hotness and She-Force) because they are somewhat ineffective, and thus not considered good enough to hang out with the bar's cool crowd, headed by the egotistical Excelsor. The bar has three strict rules: No Masks, No Powers and No Heroics

The six-part series is brand new for 2008 and sees a group of British off-duty superheroes living their day to day life, which for supposed saviours of the world is actually rather normal – as they just can’t be arsed. Instead this group of b-listers would rather get drunk in their local superheroes-only pub, The Fortress and commiserate at their lack of superiority. No Heroics is due to air on ITV2 later this year and stars Patrick Baladi (as Excelsior - do we detect a Stan Lee homage? - the strongest of the heroes and bane of the Hotness’ life), Nicholas Burns (as the Hotness, a heat-controlling hero desperate to save, well something…) , James Lance (who plays Timebomb, who can see sixty seconds into the future), Claire Keelan (as Electroclash, who can control machines but prefers to use her powers to empty out cigarette machines) and Rebekah Staton (who plays super-strong She-Force, a mighty heroine who’s more interested in waiting for Mr Right to sweep her off her feet).
