Not long ago Alison Green took off her mask and outed herself as the superhero Mega Girl. Now she is trying to find where she fits into the world by going to college and trying to find ways to help people without being a superhero. However the question that keeps popping up from former superheroes and villains is why were only certain superpowered children allowed to live and who is trying to control their destinies.
Publisher’s Description:
With superstrength and invulnerability, Alison Green used to be one of the most powerful superheroes around.
Fighting crime with other teenagers under the alter ego Mega Girl was fun – until an encounter with Menace, her mind-reading arch enemy, showed her evidence of a sinister conspiracy, and suddenly battling giant robots didn’t seem so important.
Now Alison is going to college and trying to find ways to help the world while still getting to class on time. It’s impossible to escape the past, however, and everyone has their own idea of what it means to be a hero….
