His powers are minimal. Really just the one.

He can wake up without an alarm clock. He simply tells his mind that he must be up and moments before the alarm sounds, his groggy eyes open.

As most superheros, The Alarm Clock, emerged from tragedy. The inner struggle for years of being forced to wake up to a loud beeping sound, this brave hero adapted a keen sense of alertness, even in sleep. It doesn’t matter what time this hero goes to bed, or needs to be awake in the morning, which allows him to sleep in if his mind allows. Other days something triggers in his mind and wakes him regardless of fatigue.

Other superheros mock this great hero. Discrediting his important powers. Telling each other there is no value in simply being able to wake up on time. No justice league has ever invited The Alarm Clock on important missions, and he frequently eats breakfast alone.

There is really no way to fight crime or save lives with this special power. No worlds to save, no great symbol in the sky. However, more recently he has started being asked to wake people up in the mornings at specific times.

This is the life of The Alarm Clock. I wish I wasn’t him.

I’m not sure why I am on a superhero kick lately, but make your own here.
