Synopsis for 1st story

Superior was sent on a mission to Afghanistan with the U.S. military and secured the city of Ghazni after clearing out Taliban fighters and sweeping the city for mines and traps. Then, Superior went to Khost, where he rescued contract workers that the U.S. government was looking for. In Kandahar, Maddie Knox waited with the U.S. military for Superior to reach the city. After he arrived, he secured the city in less than a minute, defeating the Taliban in twenty-four hours.

Afterwards, he addressed the U.N. and made a statement that all his missions would happen only under a definitive U.N. mandate. In the next few days, Superior would perform various tasks around the world and was later thanked by President Obama. As a favor, he allowed Superior to bat for the Mets against the Yankees, play bass for his favorite rock band, and play basketball for the Knicks, against the Heat. Simon's parents were shocked as they watched as Superior gave Chris a high-five. As Sharpie returned to his home, he vowed to kill Superior. He went upstairs and viewed his poster of Abraxas, waiting for Ormon to fulfill his offer.

Maddie Knox planned to have sex with Superior and learn his origins. After Superior entered her penthouse, Ormon appeared in front of him and transformed him back to his true form after realizing that he loved being Superior. Then, Ormon revealed himself to be a demon and offered to make him Superior again in exchange for his soul.

Solicit Synopsis

The President has asked him to win the war in Afghanistan, the UN has asked him to feed the starving and the world needs saving 24/7. But Superior doesn't even break a sweat. He can handle all this in stride until his past comes catching up with him and he finds out why a 12-year-old boy with special needs was given these powers in the first place. This is a must-read issue where the mystery that has been plaguing fandom for the past twelve months is finally revealed in a shocking twist.

Trivia

Chris' last name is revealed to be Turner by Simon's parents.
