==What's Awesome About Worm?==

*'''Incredibly creative superpowers''': While typical superhumans rely on a few basic and sometimes boring powers (enhanced strength, durability, speed, flight, etc), Worm's "parahumans" have abilities that are far more interesting, with numerous creative advantages and drawbacks. Notable examples include Lung, an Asian gang leader who has the ability to power up by gradually transforming into a massive dragon-like creature as he fights; Dauntless, who has the power to gradually "infuse" objects with power, eventually turning a simple taser into an incredibly deadly weapon; Marquis, an affable villain with the power to manipulate bone, and so on.

*'''Creative use of powers''': Unlike many superhero stories, the characters in Worm don't really get more powerful except by figuring out new uses for their powers, which they do constantly. ''One of many exceptions listed above. Also an entire class gets pretty good scaling.''

*'''Grey morality''': There are self-professed heroes who are absolutely awful people, and villains who simply made one bad mistake or are just trying to get by. If you like morally ambiguous characters, Worm is for you. 

*'''Long. Looong.''': 1.7 million words long[[https://web.archive.org/web/20201111220857/http://webfictionguide.com/listings/worm/review-by-fibi/ 1]], it's just a bit short of ASOIAF. 

*'''It's not over''': Wasn't long enough? Fear not. [https://www.parahumans.net/about/ There is a sequel.]
