Daniels, April. |
|
|
One
minute Danny is hiding behind the mall applying
polish to her toes and wishing she could tell
people that she is really a girl but in a boy's
body. The next minute, a flash of light and
a dying superhero make her wish come true.
Sort of. Danny can't believe when she looks
down and sees that she is now a beautiful
girl. A picture perfect girl. But
Dreadnought has also given his mantle to her. She
now has superpowers! She is only 15 and new
to her girl body, how can she be expected to be
the new Dreadnougt. She has her doubts as do
others in the Legion. These are the white cape
superheros that protect the world from the black
capes. When she is told that she cannot be
trained as a superhero until she turns 18, she is
disappointed and relieved at the same time. After
all, she doesn't feel very heroic and can't
imagine fighting crime. This is not going to
go well for our hero. |
