Super Powereds Spinoff Books in Order

The Super Powereds spinoff material steps away from Lander University's classrooms and looks at what hero work can mean once the training is over, or when it happens far from the clean ideal people imagine.

The main book here is Corpies.

Corpies follows Owen Daniels, the former Hero known as Titan. Years earlier, Titan was a public favorite, but a scandal wrecked his image and damaged his family. When Owen decides to return to hero work, he finds that being powerful is not the same thing as being welcome. The world remembers the scandal, and the Hero teams that once might have wanted him are not eager to take the risk.

That leaves him with a different kind of job: supervising corporate-sponsored Supers. These are the corpies, rescue-focused teams whose missions often come with cameras, branding, and public relations expectations. It is still dangerous work, but it sits in an uncomfortable space between service and spectacle. Owen has to earn the trust of people who did not ask for him, while also proving he can stay when things get hard.

The book matters because it widens the Super Powereds world. The main series focuses on students trying to enter the Hero Certification Program and survive its pressure. Corpies shows another layer: public forgiveness, professional politics, corporate rescue teams, and the messy gap between being a symbol and being a person.

It also brings the idea of power back down to character. Titan is immensely strong, but his real challenge is not just punching harder. He has to face old choices, a skeptical team, and a city with a growing threat targeting Heroes. Hayes uses the spinoff to ask what redemption looks like when everyone can still see the stain.

Most readers should start the main Super Powereds series first. Read Super Powereds: Year 1 and Year 2 before Corpies, then continue into the later Year books. The spinoff adds weight to the larger world, especially if you like the working-Hero side of the setting.
