Born with incredible powers, you did what anyone would do—mined your abilities for content and became a popular influencer. When you join a team of heroes, can you earn their trust, defend the city, and prove you’re worth more than your follower count? The Victory League can’t seem to stop accidentally destroying city property, and everyone thinks you were only added to the team to win back citizen approval. Will you train in your shapeshifting abilities to investigate and fight villains? Or will you lean into your social media prowess to rebrand your team? Find true love, schmooze with the team’s fan club, or maybe even betray your team to join their nemesis.
