When the first superhero went public during World War II, the world
responded with wonder. We treated the original superhero like a
famous writer or singer, heaping on him the riches of international
celebrity. Others came after him, as noble, as mighty. Committed to
a fate that set them apart from normal humans, the new superhumans
eventually became as natural as pop stars. Today, long after the
retirement of the original superhero, hundreds of extraordinary
individuals grapple with their place in society. Are they heroes?
Villains? Are they volatile or do they contribute to the betterment
of mankind? Lain Grey is just such a person, but at 16, he's far
less moved by his budding powers than he is by sexuality, or his
natural mother, who died when he was an infant. And there are
others. Kathleen, the young woman who channels dead philosophers
through her dog. Or Vernon Hood, the most powerful man alive, who
ducked out of public life to raise normal kids. Then, there's
Geoffrey Gilman, the original superhero himself, who's finding that
retirement is an uncomfortable stepping stone to the grave. In more
ways than one. Enter The Superhero's Closet, where secrets, lies,
and the shadows of the past fester, giving life to new dangers, new
villains, and tragic surprises for everyone.
