From publisher blurb:
Superpowers have existed long enough that many of the first individuals to manifest them have had children and even grandchildren to carry on their legacy. Several bloodlines have attained the status of “superpowered royalty” in the world, each carrying their own reputation and cachet.
In the case of people such as the Cross family, this legacy places considerable weight and responsibility on their offspring’s shoulders. One of the world’s most legendary and well-known superheroes, Adam Cross (AKA Victory, the original Alpha of Strikeforce One) has retired, but the burden of his name now rests upon his children, Angela and Maxwell. Adam’s daughter (AKA Sigma) now holds a spot on Strikeforce One, while his son, Maxwell, helps the U.S. government get a handle on superpowered beings (SPBs) around the world. Even though Maxwell lacks powers of his own, the expectations that come with the Cross name are there nonetheless.
In other cases, everyday individuals find themselves thrust into the world of superpowers by accident. These people acquire special abilities—abilities guaranteed to forever change their lives—and they must decide what to do with those powers. In this way, they also carry the burden of a legacy they had no say in.
