From the dawn of the 20th Century came a new chapter in mankind's history, unleashed during a time of great war and destruction.
It was the beginning of the Age of the SUPERPowers, yet with the closing of the Second World War, this new spark seemingly flickered and died.
Until now...
Now the story can be told of the great lost SUPERPowers -- men and women with incredible abilities who changed the course of mankind forever...
and who had been thought lost ...
Until now...

"Reading Project Superpowers is like reading Kingdom Come if you’d never heard of Superman or Batman. There’s such Significance and Importance to all the events, but only because the narrator is constantly telling you that things are Significant and Important. You’re introduced to about two dozen different characters, all without understanding who they are or what they’re doing, while Major Events cause characters to… well, I wanted to say ‘act out-of-character’, but I don’t know what’s ‘in-character’ for any of them. An endlessly confusing read."
