Thunderbolts by Kurt Busiek

After the world’s greatest heroes are believed gone, a new team of bright‑costumed champions emerges to take their place—but the initial twist is that this group is actually a band of supervillains posing as saviors to exploit public trust and further their own schemes. As they carry out staged rescues and clash with genuine threats, personal histories, shifting loyalties, and unexpected conscience tests blur the line between performance and truth, and some members begin to question whether they can reinvent themselves. Combining fast‑paced superhero action with character‑driven moral drama, the story probes redemption, identity, and the power of public perception.
