DC: The Investigator

DC: The Investigator

Shadow rank ~#1761 in Drama↓70

Malcolm H. Beaumont has no fortune, no costume, no symbol in the sky. A young NYPD recruit bound to the soul of his previous life, he confronts ordinary crimes and impossible phenomena while trying to uphold the law in a world soon to be populated by superheroes. This isn't based on any established DC Comics continuity; let's just say it's a universe created by cherry-picking the elements I like from various other universes. Let's call this universe Earth Alea. Also published on Spacebattles and Webnovel. I do not own any of the characters, universes, locations, or concepts belonging to DC Comics. All rights belong to their respective owners. I claim ownership only of my original character and the original elements created for this fanfiction.
