The NOVA LAD
A Superhero Origin Story
Kai Roswell is a teenage misfit - kicked out of schools, drowning in detentions, and buried under the weight of a broken home. But when a late-night act of rebellion lands him inside a secret school lab, everything changes. A cosmic accident leaves him with powers he can't explain, a destiny he never asked for... and a second chance he didn't know he needed.
As Kai transforms into Nova Lad, he trains in secret, fights petty crime, and dreams of becoming something more. But rising as a hero isn't as simple as wearing a suit. A shadowy villain from the darkness of the city, Blackzone, has been watching him - waiting to break him.
With help from his tech-genius best friend and the growing bond he shares with Lena, a sharp and stargazing girl who sees through the mask, Kai faces his greatest trial yet. The cost of becoming a hero? Everything.
And when saving the city means taking a life, Kai is forced to ask himself a question that no hero is ever ready for:
What kind of person do you have to become to save the world?
