In this modern, soon to be dystopian world, society is rapidly being torn apart by an inevitable civil war. One that could turn out to be one of the most gruesome events in all of history if not stopped. Here, 88% of the world's population have superhuman abilities that can range from simple pallor tricks, all the way to world ending capabilities. Because of the potential for major threats, The World Government has outright banned the use of these powers for the common man. Frustration builds from this heavily enforced law as civilians threaten to revolt for complete freedom from tyranny. In return, "The League of Superheroes", five immensely powerful agents who work under the government marketed as heroes, maintain peace with an iron fist. You watch these shocking events unfold through the eyes of Liam, an 18 year old, who has decided to take it upon himself to end this madness once and for all. However, he is no hero by any standard, but instead the villain. Slowly being corrupted by his deranged ambition for "true peace", he will do whatever it takes. That of course includes facing both the rioters and The League of Superheroes head on. Even with his cruel methods, he views his extreme actions as completely necessary because of his one simple disadvantage. Liam was born with no superhuman abilities whatsoever. This forces him to be strategic and plan ahead at all times. But just one wrong step and he could be obliterated on the spot. Unfortunately for him though, no matter how smart he thinks he may be, the world will reveal secrets that WILL turn his life as he knows it upside down....
