The Hero Books are a series of 100 magical superhero comic books created by a man named Scott Weller. When held by people with strong imaginations, otherwise known as “Readers,” and the name of the titular Hero Book superhero is said by the Reader, said superhero is summoned into the real world.

Purpose[]

They are used to summon superheroes into the real world.

Functions[]

  • When a Hero Book is held by a Reader and the name of the Hero Book’s titular superhero is said by the Reader, the superhero is summoned into the real world.
  • In order for a Hero to return to their Hero Book, their Reader must tell them to “Return” or they must be exhausted of their power, usually by being defeated or using their “Comicalize” power.[1]
  • When summoned, the Reader and the Hero are psychically linked, which allows the Reader to command the Hero to do whatever they ask as long as their voice can reach the Hero, whether they want to or not(Ex.: X making Crying Man attack Mike, despite the former clearly not wanting to attack his friend, he did so anyway.) However, the Heroes have been shown to act on their own without being given an order by their Reader.
  • Every Hero Book Hero has a special power dubbed a “Comicalize power”, which requires the Reader to say “Comicalize! (Attack Name)!” However, using this power also uses up a lot of their Reader’s imagination, which leaves their Reader exhausted and causes their Hero to normally return to their Hero Book.[2]
  • While most Readers are seen summoning 1 Hero at a time, certain Readers have been shown to be capable of summoning more than 1 Hero at the same time(Ex.: Lucy could summon 2 Heroes, and Mike managed to summon 5 Heroes at once, though he hasn’t been able to do so again after the events of Villains vs Heroes.)
  • Heroes can be "Supervillains" if the readers are morally corrupt and terrible people (like Krista, Timo, Honey, Two Tone Tony, The robbers, and that one guy who summoned Sylph first) because their core purpose is obey to the commands of their original reader. For Super Scott specifically, he felt oppressed by this very core function of his existential being, thus making him hard to summon.
  • Although the premise is 100 heroes, the officials did say there might even more heroes than the defined 100. [3]
  • In order the heroes to do their attack and comicalize skill the reader needs to shout loud enough in order for the heroes to hear the move in which they command them to do, [4] however for Mike, he's somehow strong enough at times to simply imagine it in order for the comicalize ability to be performed. He's also capable of summoning multiple heroes at a time and doing a create comicalize, a special version of comicalizing which involves comical objects and/or effects.
  • If readers summoned heroes that are also used by other readers, they can still control their original hero. The only known caveat is the fact that if another reader were to use the ability and then call for them to return back, the hero will be transferred to them. [5]

History[]

Prior to the series

The Hero Books were all created by a man named Scott Weller, who possessed both a strong imagination and a passion for drawing superhero comics, even allowing his niece, Lucy, to help him come up with a few superhero ideas, such as Super Scott. However, Scott’s brother believed he was a bad influence on Lucy, since his hobby apparently cost Scott his job, and he was forbidden from seeing Lucy again.

Through means not known yet, Scott somehow managed to make his comic books bring his superheroes to life.

Trivia[]

  • Hero Books can only be wielded by people who have strong imaginations (Readers like Mike), meaning that people who have no imagination, like Nick, cannot use them at all.
  • The Hero Books appear to be quite durable, as Crying Man’s book survived being soaked with his tear blasts without any noticeable signs of damage.
  • The terms “Hero Books” and “Readers” began to be commonly used starting in the episode Give Me My Gloves to describe the books and the people capable of using them.
  • In the episode Coin Robber, it was revealed that Scott always put the Dizzy Donut shop in a majority of his comic books(ex. Crying Man, Gravity, Black Knight, etc.)
  • According to the X page of a producer/story artist of Hero Inside, @HeroOutsider:
    • In order to properly use a Hero Book, the Reader must 1). Be touching the Hero Book, 2). Call out the Hero’s name, and 3). To summon the hero back into the book, they must touch the book and shout “(Hero’s name), RETURN!” (“Hero Inside” Producer’s Leak #001)
    • If a Reader takes another Reader’s Hero Book while the Hero is still summoned, the Reader can still control their Hero. However, if the other Reader tells the Hero to “Return”, the Hero will become theirs.(“Hero Inside” Producer’s Leak #002)
    • Only people with great imagination can summon and control heroes from Hero Books. Once summoned, the Reader and Hero are psychically linked.(“Hero Inside” Producer’s Leak #004)
    • It is implied that there may be more than the 100 Hero Books Scott made before he disappeared.(“Hero Inside” Producer’s Leak #005)
