Brightstar

In a world where government-backed superheroes dominate popular culture and work to save the world from those who would use their Awakenings for evil, Callum Hayes is powerless. After a tragic accident killed his best friend in their search to give themselves powers, Callum has become a brilliant inventor college student who wants to use his ideas to improve the world. After a change in circumstances around becoming a superhero and a chance encounter with the hero Retrograde, who saved the young man and his sister from a supervillain attack many years ago and kickstarted his obsession with superheroes, Callum sets out to use his skills to become a symbol for those who feel powerless: Brightstar.
