DC: Rise of an Extra

marvel_stark
James Carter was nobody special—just another face in the crowd, another casualty of circumstance. When he dies and wakes up in Gotham City, he realizes with creeping horror that he's landed in the DC Universe. No system. No cheats. No destiny waiting for him. Just a dead-end job, an empty apartment, and the certain knowledge that in this world, ordinary people die screaming. But James has something nobody else does: he knows what's coming. He knows Superman just made his debut. He knows Batman is starting his war on crime. He knows that in a few short years, gods and monsters will walk the earth, and anyone without power will be collateral damage. Most people would despair. James gets to work. With only his mind and his memories of comic books as weapons, James begins a calculated ascent from powerless nobody to something more. Every advantage must be earned. Every power must be taken. Every relationship must be built with care. Because in a universe of Kryptonians and speedsters, of magic and metahumans, there's no room for hesitation. The heroes are rising. The villains are plotting. And somewhere in between, one man is playing the most dangerous game of all—trying to survive long enough to matter. This is the rise of an extra. This is the story of someone who refused to be nobody.
