Last chapter, Gumball had witness two mysterious heroes in a factory against robbers. Now Gumball had been inspire to become a mask hero himself.

Chapter 2: First Tried.

Gumball's P.O.V:

In order for me to become a hero, I need to build up my strength first. Having a bit of muscle in the body of a sixteen year old doesn't make me a superhero, especially when I'm getting my ass kick by a psychotic T-Rex or a motherfucker like Tobias Wilson.

For the next couple of weeks, I spend my time in the gym during lunch and after school. Normally I skip lunch because I couldn't stand Darwin and Rachel making out right in front of me. Made me lose my lunch.

Gumball is at the school gym lifting weights while his arms can hold and punching a punching bag. He was sweating through his sweat shirt.

On the weekends, I balance myself at the edge of the building. Nearly lose my foot. My folks never see me out and in the house. They barely recognize me because all they want to hear of how successful Darwin and Anais are. It's always been like this.

Nicole said at the dinner table "So how are things are going at school?"

Gumball begin "Well, I-"

Anais interrupted "I discover a new kind of mole that has been living in the school for five years."

Nicole nodded "That's interesting."

"That's is, but wait till you hear-"

"I broke another record during my swimming practice." Darwin interrupted.

"That's great, Darwin."

"His story is great, but my day starts with-" Gumball restarted, but his father cut him off.

"I broke my high score on Alien Invaders!"

Nicole said, nodding as well before eating her meal "That's...great, honey."

I didn't want to say anything after that because I might get interrupted again like always. This was I meant to do. I wasn't meant to become an athlete or a genius; I was meant to do something more uplifting.

I spend my time working and exercising at the gym. As I'm doing it, I kept thinking on the name that I want to be call or the kind of costume that will make people recognize me. I couldn't outmatch the costumes the masked twins were wearing.

I went home and made a list of the name that I want to be call. So far, all the names I had come up with were very crappy. The names were based on the characters on my comic book. I mean, Devil Cat, Captain Cat, The Black Cat. Even the name Iron Cat fits me properly, but where the hell am I going to get a super suit? It'll take a genius to make a suit like my sister for example, and I can't have her!

She'll find out what I'am up to and tell mom. Trust me, if you were me and living in this family, you do not want to piss off mom.

Anyway, back on the costume idea which I had no idea how to make except for the part of me wearing a super suit. Now that will be awesome if I know how to make one. But not to worry. See, instead of looking at adult websites, I came across an ad of wetsuits. Since I can't make a costume, I'll just have to buy one instead.

Gumball is at his computer and looking up the ad for wetsuits. He check on the one that covers the entire thing except for his head. He click on the "Buy" link on it, then he went to another ad of masks and chooses the one that match his new suit.

At night, Gumball was at his room alone in bed under the covers. His brother and sister were at their after school clubs and his mother was still at work. The only one that was in the house was his dad, but he barely even notice him. He always come up and check on Gumball before heading to sleep. The front door open up, revealing his dad.

Richard pop his head on the room and look at his son, saying "Hey, son. You're going to sleep early?"

Gumball said "Yeah, I'am not feeling so well, so I heading in early."

"Well, your mother just call and said she won't be home till one and your siblings are still of their clubs. I'll be going to sleep early. You need anything before I take my nap?"

Gumball shakes his head negatively. "Nah I'm fine, dad."

"All right, good night, pal. Love you." He said with a smile.

"Love you too, dad."

Once Richard close the door, Gumball got out from his bed, revealing his new costumed suit. A wetsuit has been wear by Gumball. The details was all black with a hit of red and the mask matches his suit. He wears black gloves and black boots. His mask covers his face except for his eyes. His ears stretches against the mask. Gumball walk toward the mirror and put both of his fists on his hips and yelled as he speaks to a criminal "Halt, evildoers! "What, you talking to me? I'm the only one standing here so you must be talking to me." He then pretends to be fighting.

You know what's the best part is of being a costumed hero? It didn't take some traumatic experience to become a hero. Like seeing the one you love getting killed right before your eyes and suddenly you vow to become a hero. Well, not me. I only became a hero because it feels goddamn awesome.

Gumball said to himself "You are one lucky motherfucker."

He sneak out of his room, but before he could, he needed a weapon to defend himself. He had spend three weeks exercising, but he hasn't got the muscle yet. He got a baseball from his closet. He then down the stairs. He found his dad sleeping on the couch with the t.v on. He open the door very quietly, not to woke his dad up. Gumball breath in a fresh air and ran into the night.

My first night as a costume hero wasn't a much fun as I imagine it will be in the comic. I haven't got as much excitement as fighting criminals. Hell, I hadn't found even one criminal. Most people see me and walk away from me, thinking that I'm some kind of pervert.

During the day, I wear my suit underneath my normal clothes so that my folks doesn't find it or suspect what I have been doing. It was making me sweat, but hey, it's worth it when you're a superhero.

At nights, while my mom working late and my siblings is still at school, I sneak out of the house with my costume on without even bother to sneak out from my room or hiding the suit underneath my clothes because my dad always fall asleep when he comes into my room to check on me.

I had spent almost five nights finding any crime activity that is happening in town, and people think that I'm the criminal. On day, I continue my life being a nobody in this school and having a hard time of getting the girl of my dreams to notice me.

He is at the classroom and staring at Penny while Miss Simian is still talking about centuries.

Did I also mention that I'm still getting my ass kick a lot by Tobias and his gang?

He is later getting his ass kick by Tobias outside the school.

All I ever wanted was to find some mugger or rapist so I can see what it feels like to beat someone with. Then one night, my answer came true.

Gumball, in his hero costume suit, goes into an alley and hides in a corner He take a good look and saw three gang members attempting to rob a car. They were all armed with crowbars.

He muttered "Oh man. This is it."

One of the member saw Gumball hiding and shouted "Hey! What the fuck are you looking at?"

Gumball put his head back into hiding and started to breath very fast.

I have always fantasize of this. Me fighting against three criminals. The comic book world only relates of heroes against an army of thugs and murderers, but three will have to do. Now to think of a opening comeback.

Taking a deep breath, he walk out of his hiding place to the thugs. As they were almost there of robbing the car, one of the thugs saw something that made him say "What the fuck?"

Gumball walk a bit and stand there like any hero will do. The entire gang started to laugh at the ridiculousness Gumball was wearing.

One member said in disbelief "What the fuck is this?"

"Hey man! what the fuck are you looking at?"

Gumball was still thinking of an opening comeback to say to them.

The thug repeated "I say, what the fuck are you looking at?!"

"I'm seeing a bunch of white trash assholes, who are a bunch of queers and cunts." Stated Gumball with confident.

The entire gang grew angry and started walking to Gumball. "What the fuck did you say to us?" One of them said.

Gumball had the baseball hide underneath behind his back while saying "You heard me, white trash assholes."

One of them declared "Oh, you are so fucking dead, man!"

The three thugs attack him with crowbars, but Gumball took out his baseball and hit them. One thug hit him and another one hit him also with their crowbars. Gumball swing his bat, but the thug duck and punch him again. Gumball kept swing his bat, but the thugs kept beating him with their crowbars. Gumball hit one in the chin and kick one in the groin. Gumball's face was bleeding; his cheeks were bruise and dripping blood. He has a black eye and his nose was broken. The thugs receive less beatings from Gumball.

One thugs exclaimed "Man, this fool won't give up!"

Gumball, still bleeding, yelled while holding his bat in front of them "Which one of you fuckers want some, huh?! Who fucking want some?! I can do this all day!"

Then one thug went behind Gumball and stab him with his switchblade in the stomach. Gumball's mouth dropped open and drop his bat.

One thug smirked "That'll shut his fucking mouth! Let's get the hell out of here!"

The entire gang then ran away from the scene, leaving Gumball alone, dying from his wound. He cover his wound from both of his hands and started walking out of the alley. Out of the alley, he notice that there was nobody here to see this. Gumball thought that despite of him being bleeding to death, he can't make it home, but he caught some people's attention and rushes him to his aide. Then suddenly he collapse on the streets and closes his eyes.

Okay. Gumball had first try out on being a superhero, and that didn't go exactly as he had plan. He had just been stab by a group of thugs while attempting to steal a car. How will Gumball get out of this? Find out!
