Superhero Swap

A freak lightning bolt swaps your body with the city's greatest superhero — now you have powers you can't control and a villain to stop.

You are a completely ordinary fourth-grader living on the fourteenth floor of a Mega City apartment building. You own exactly zero superpowers, one pizza-stained hoodie, and a tablet with a cracked screen that you love more than most things. Your biggest talent is speed-eating cafeteria tacos, and your biggest worry is the math test next Thursday.

Mega City is also home to Captain Amazo, the greatest superhero alive, and like every other kid in town you have his poster on your wall. 'One day,' you whisper to the poster every morning, 'I am going to meet you. Not today probably. But one day.'

Today is, in fact, that day. You are walking home from school when a streak of purple lightning rips out of a cloudless sky and slams into Captain Amazo, who is flying overhead at exactly the wrong moment. The bolt ricochets straight into you. There is a flash, a feeling like being turned inside out, and suddenly you are looking DOWN at yourself. You have a cape. You have biceps. You are wearing Captain Amazo's body. 'WHAT,' you scream, in his deep voice. 'WHAT WHAT WHAT.'
