Can you imagine if there was a drug...and when you take it, you feel and think that you turn into a superhero...like huge and muscular like the hulk, or you sprout wings like angel, or claws and hyper-senses like Wolverine...but in reality, you're the same to everyone else outside.
Like you go around feeling like the Hulk and lift up a huge truck...but in reality it's some child's Tonka toy. Or you're fighting some huge monster over some secret magical gem...but in reality it's some baby you're wrestling over a lollipop with. Sounds like a rather typical POV/deluded mind story...but the twist is that they really are superheroes, and they've secretly been administed a drug that's supposed to make them feel 'normal'...but it's somehow malfunctioned and affected the world around them into thinking that they don't stand out, that one guy being huge and green-skinned is no more remarkable than someone else in jeans and a t-shirt.
So the heroes first want to embrace being accepted as normal et al, but eventually they miss being recognized as exceptional and unique. Actually forget it...sounds like an X-men story.....
