William Wade was a normal teenager living in a world where Superheroes totally exist. Until one day, he was bitten by a radioactive super-bug!
He then developed a horrific type of brain cancer and was given 6 weeks to live. But when struck by a bolt of lightning, he was miraculously cured of his malignant growth and given some half decent super powers.
Now, he's trying to fulfil his dream of becoming a superhero, striving to prove himself in an already established industry.
But with the strength of 1000 infant children and a fear of flying, how can he possibly defeat arch-enemies and giant monsters when he can't even get a cat out of a tree?
