The golden age of heroes is decades past. The government could not condone
vigilantism and now metahumans are just citizens, albeit citizens with
incredible talent, who are assisted in achieving normal lives (including finding
good fits for their talents employment-wise) by a federal agency.
Rusty
may have been a kid during that glorious age but he remembers his idol,
Sentinel, saving lives and righting wrongs — until he was outed in an
incredible scandal that forced him into isolation. When a gay friend of Rusty
living in the Czech Republic goes missing, Rusty is forced to acknowledge that
while the world's governments claim that super teams are outdated and replaced
by legal law enforcement, there are simply some places where the law doesn't
protect everyone — so he manages to find and recruit Sentinel to help him
find his friend.
But the disappearance of the friend is merely one move
in a terrible plot against queer youth. A team of supers may be old-fashioned,
but this may be a battle requiring some incredible reinforcements.
