"I thought you cared for your country, Powerhouse.....? That you wanted to see it prosper? To see it free of taint and contamination? Then why do you safeguard this child? This.....illegal alien.....who threatens to poison the precious blood of our beloved country? You are nothing more than a treasonous pig.....and I shall bring you to justice." -Special Agent Warren Schaefer

The year is 2024, and the population of Earth has been struggling to recover from the massive ramifications of Galaxara's decimation of the planet following their miraculous rescue at the hands of the serpentine superheroine Hailey a.k.a. The Viper. As humanity pulls together to rebuild from their traumatized world, the Paragons and their allies are doing their part to help as well, assisting wherever they can and promptly stopping those who would try to take advantage of the less fortunate.

The Paragon James Markovsky a.k.a. Powerhouse has returned to his stint as an employee at the security firm Lockdown Inc., which his mother Susan Markovsky is the CEO of; he also occasionally hangs out with Elise Fornwright---the mother of his late friend Fritz Fornwright---and is also obviously continuing his tenure as a superhero in his home city of Seattle, Washington.

However, the prosthetic-armed hero is soon met with a challenge when a new and mysterious archer named Archwave shows up outside of his house one evening, and he gets caught up in protecting the heroine from a government manhunt initiated against her for reasons which are initially unknown. Further complicating matters is the increasing prominence of graffiti around the city, with rumors spreading that a gang known as Spraywatch may be responsible.....
