Seventy two year old Samuel Pope woke in the body of fifteen year old Oran Bry. Not only was he in a new body, it turned out he was in a whole new world. It was a world where superheroes and villains battled and where a fateful accident, such as the one that brought him from his home world, might bestow super powers on unsuspecting individuals. Pope finds himself dealing with emerging powers, an unhappy home life, puberty, and the joys of high school. Even if he should not choose to become a hero, greatness may be thrust upon him.
