Hero gains superpowers or trains hard to get abilities. Step 3. Hero becomes famous/notorious. The fact of the matter is that it is not one singular event that . . .

Pow! Slam!

Editor: Sonja Nitschke
July 26, 2008

Caveat:  the story is still being updated regularly, so review subject to change on future installments.

Legion of Nothing is about superheroes – both kinds: mutants and those that rely on technology and their own brains.
