Synopsis: “Quinton, a high school sophomore, is looking to live his best life by moonlighting as a superhero. The catch? His power is invulnerability . . . and that’s the only power he has.”
–PREVIEWSworld
Superpowers never go out of style. We have all craved them at one time or another. The story behind this is nothing new. After all, Peter Parker got his when he was merely a high school student. But now we have this second year high school student coming across powers that grand him invulnerability. Now, one might wonder just how far one could go with such a power. Truth is I could see more potential for having limitless capabilities with invulnerability than with traditional abilities such as super-strength, flight, psionics or even teleportation. Quinton definitely sees the limitless possibilities and wants to take a Kick-Ass route and become a superhero! More power to him I say!
