This paper proposes some reflections on disability, in particular on supercrips analyzing the twenty-five stories of Capacità nascoste. La prima antologia diversamente thriller (2012) by Sergio Rilletti and Elio Marracci. In the prismatic and multifaceted configuration of the collection, various characters with disabilities appear as well as multiple settings, themes and genres. By deviating from stereotypes, as well as focusing on the person and granting agency to the protagonists, a partial misalignment from the typical rhetoric on the purely heroic or inspirational ‘super’ disability can be detected.
