Roman Martin's life doesn't get any easier once he makes his way back from the Eastern Province. The shadow user named Hazrat is gunning for him, and Margo, the mysterious woman who has the same superpower as Roman, will go to any lengths to end his life prematurely. He still hasn't been approved to be an exemplar, and once he confesses to his teacher what he has been up to over the last week, including destroying an Eastern Province military facility, the odds of Roman ever being a superhero are slim to none.

A bold experiment has mutated a small fraction of humanity. Nations race to harness the gifted, putting them to increasingly dark ends. At the dawn of global war, flashy American superheroes square off against sinister Germans and dissolute Russians. Increasingly depraved scientists conduct despicable research in the name of victory. British agents Fogg and Oblivion, recalled to the Retirement Bureau, have kept a treacherous secret for over 40 years. But all heroes must choose when to join the fray, and to whom their allegiance is owed - even for just one perfect summer's day.

Hate your job. Start all over. Become an assassin. Roman Martin's life continues to take twists and turns he could have never seen coming. A month after losing his power, Roman is greeted by an exemplar named Orange who has some damning information for him. Later, he's given an ultimatum that forces him to become a government assassin, where he's sent to the Western Province in pursuit of a Centralian fugitive he knows intimately. It's not something Roman is comfortable with doing, but if he hopes to survive and avoid prosecution by his own government, it may be his only choice.

Tasked with killing the Eastern spy known as Nadine, as well as risking his life to get information by traveling to a foreign country, Roman develops an exit strategy with a lot of working parts, some of which he has absolutely no control over. Exploiting telepaths, tricking his companions, his government, and even his former teacher, Roman does everything within his power to bring his exit strategy to fruition. But he's still being hunted by Margo, and once the Centralian Government learns of what he's been up to, Roman's enemies grow exponentially.

Eddie figured he'd eventually get caught and spend a year or two in a minimum security prison.

Astra has returned to Chicago and the everyday life of a cape: getting kittens out of trees, training, aiding the city's emergency first-responders, training, doing public relations events, training, and the occasional superhero v. supervillain fight that threatens to level neighborhoods or at least set them on fire. Then Astra takes a hard hit during a fight and very briefly finds herself somewhere else, somewhere she's only been before in dreams and in the company of Kitsune, a shape-shifting trickster fox.

Amelia is fresh from her victory over ARC when a massive hurricane strikes New Orleans. In the aftermath, a pile of bodies is found and all evidence points to the Wraith as the perpetrator.

With every superhero in North America gunning for Madisun Dumas, Arsenal has to race against the clock and stand up to her own teammates to prove the vigilante's innocence.

Wraith has vanished for a year. When she finally returns to New Orleans, the criminals are back to "business as usual". Without ISO-1 to control the area, the Russian mob-otherwise known as the Vory-has moved in and taken over the city. Literally. Now, Madi, Krisan, and her other allies must battle the supervillains of the Vory and the misguided superhero, Seraph, while also protecting a family the Vory have kidnapped from Argentina. With everyone trying to kill her, Madi needs to be more than a vigilante - she needs to become the top of the Big Easy's food chain.

Madisun Dumas is on a roll. She kicked ISO-1 out of Detroit and then New Orleans. The people who killed her family are six feet under. Now, it's time to go after their bosses, but not everything is as simple as it appears. Something sinister is brewing within ISO-1. Drugs, corruption, and human trafficking are all just a cover for something far more horrific. And Madi is about to land right in the middle. When the entity inside her tells her to trust no one, Madisun really needs to take that advice to heart. If she doesn't, death may not be the worst option.

Madisun has returned home to New Orleans, almost a year to the day her family was murdered. The people who did it are still free. The man who betrayed her is still alive. Justice is coming to the criminals of the city, justice without mercy. Welcome home, Madi. Try not to burn the whole city down.
