Meet Mainline, the drug powered superhero. His story is about the gradual decay of good intentions. Suffering from severe depression after being rejected from job after job, he turned to hard drugs and his treacherous dealer slipped him an experimental drug that gave him a super-metabolism. Now, different drugs grant him temporary powers. Caffeine grants him a low level of super strength and speed. Steroids turn him into Bane. Alcohol and depressants give him a "slow aura" that makes things around him move slower and drains the kinetic energy of objects. Heroin makes him invincible. Psychedelics seemed to give him the ability to alter reality, or read minds, he wasn't sure which, but the experience scared the shit out of him, so he never touched them again.

He's a hopeless addict. He can't live without his stash and the thrill of being a superhero. But he uses his work as a superhero to justify his addiction. He helps people, so it's okay. He captures the bad guys, so it's okay. He also hates other superheroes, because if they can do what he does without the addiction and turning a blind eye to the drug trade, then what good is he, really? He goes so far as to secretly sabotage other superheroes and justifies it in his head by telling himself that it's hard work being a superhero and he's just weeding out the soft no-hopers.

tldr: junkie superhero who is slowly turning into a supervillain and doesn't realize it.
