My name is Alvin Monroe, I am a third generation super normal. I am the grandson of Gallant, the awesome man and Debutante the prom queen vigilante. I am the son of El magnifico the magic man and Daydreamer mistress of illusion. Their stories were one of great heroics and unbelievable adventures. This is not their story, it is mine. I look at the invitation in my hand with dread, as I look around the room. I see on all sides of me a virtual who’s who of lame second generation superheroes, unfortunately this is the newly minted hero patrol. My new teammates consist of Fragile the glass boy, Dooooooode the surfer ghost, the twins Instance mistress of gratification and Conscience mistress of guilt, Woof the dog master, Heartbreak Betty the reverse cupid, our leader Lucretia the damned girl. I am the final member of this menagerie. My official code name is Whim, but because of the nature of my powers most people call me Al don’t do that.
