Bailey's life is pretty boring. He goes to school, hangs out with his best friend, tries to "accidentally" run into the girl he likes at school...pretty average. All that changes when he discovers a secret lair beneath his house with a computerized super suit.
Can it be true? His missing father was Mayhem? The most famous supervillain in recent memory? His dad? Bailey can't help himself. He has to try on the suit, and before he knows it, he's practicing flying.
Everything goes to the next level when he meets the mysterious Mr. Jones who says he designed the suit and that Bailey's dad is being held hostage by domestic terrorists. He can't do it without money though, and Bailey has the perfect disguise.
Now he's robbing banks and trying to keep his secret safe, but how far is Bailey willing to go? Should he really trust Mr. Jones?
This supervillain story by J. A. Dauber is comic book inspired and will appeal readers who enjoy first person action. It was ok but not my favorite. I wanted Bailey to deal more with the unintended consequences of his actions.
