23 parts Ongoing James Walker was always a quiet, kind college student with one goal in mind: to finish school and move on with his life. But everything changes when a scientific experiment goes terribly wrong, unlocking an extraordinary power within him. Now, James must grapple with his newfound abilities, which are as mysterious as they are dangerous. As he learns to control the Aether-the force that connects and influences all things-he finds himself torn between staying hidden in the shadows and stepping up as a hero.
Disillusioned by past betrayals and hesitant to trust anyone, James pushes people away, even as he's drawn into a world of heroism, responsibility, and danger. But when a figure from the Avengers reaches out, offering guidance and support, James realizes that his powers might be the key to more than just his own survival. As he discovers the true extent of the Aether, he must decide what kind of hero-and person-he wants to be.
