The Pros & Cons of Becoming a Superhero

There's a new superhero on the scene! Blue Lightning can manipulate electricity, run extremely fast, and even fly, but no one has heard of her.

That's because her creator, aspiring artist Bex Daltry, only has a handful of followers of their webcomic. When Bex meets a professional comic book illustrator at a Fan Convention, it could be their big break. But Bex hasn't shared their work-or other facets of who they are-with many people, even their own father.

Umie Nakayama runs a popular video channel where she compiles lists of pros and cons on a variety of topics such as music, movies, and fashion tips. Despite having thousands of viewers, she can't seem to please her parents, who constantly compare her to her older brother, even while he's away at college.

When a thunderstorm infuses Umie with the superpowers of Bex's character, how will their relationship adapt to the new power dynamic? After all, Bex brought Blue Lightning into existence, while Umie is hardly a fan of the superhero genre. Can Umie learn how to control her new abilities and use them for good? Will Bex be satisfied being only a mentor or sidekick?

Most importantly, can Bex and Umie maintain Blue Lightning's secret as they contend with their own identities?
