Being a superhero isn't everything it's cracked up to be - trust me, I speak from experience. People always have it out for you, the uniforms are tight and uncomfortable (though the capes are pretty cool), and you can't show anyone your actual face or else you'll be tracked down by these bad dudes. I had tried to ignore my powers for a long time, but all of a sudden people that were close to me started dying. All the clues pointed to the same person: Valance - the dark, ominous shape-shifter that had been striking terror in the hearts of innocent citizens for over a year now. But now it's time to take this jerk down, and I can't wait to see the look on his (presumably) ugly face when I do.
