Intelligent, popular, egotistical prankster Kyle finds himself with superpowers after celestial plasma lands on Earth, bringing with it an amnesiac superhuman named Mike. Rather than exposing Mike for the extraterrestrial that he is, Kyle goes out of his way to become Mike's nemesis. The entertaining antihero narrative reads like an elaborate backstory for the real adventures yet to come in future volumes.
