Lock, a hero who died fighting for the Spectrumโthe worldโs premier hero teamโmay not be so dead after all. But if sheโs alive, where has she been?

For the first time in years, the Spectrum has invited aspiring heroes to compete for recruitment. The hard part? Something has twisted the Spectrumโs minds, and now theyโre hunting the recruits for sport. If Jimโs going to survive long enough to find the truth, heโll have to work with a ragtag group of wannabe heroesโand one villainโall while keeping his true identity secret.See? Heroes are the worst.
