A metahuman who can change her appearance, Aether is currently on top of the game, the public face of government-sponsored superheroes in United America.

At the other end of the scale, the villain Lucid has just been forced out of hiding and back into the game - by a reporter who paid for her nosiness with her life. Lucid reluctantly joins up with the other supervillains and is immediately sucked into a convoluted scheme that could change the definition of superhumanity.
