Science Genius Fiction

A supervillain from the city of Grayville has made a big mistake: He stole from one of my companies. Now he is on my radar, and it's only a matter of time before I find him, and of course, murder him. Ironically, the only thing preventing me from bringing the unknown douchebag to final justice is Grayville’s famous law-abiding superhero: The Shadow Knight. But even a hero as accomplished as the Shadow Knight can’t stop me and my team from ending the super villain threat. And if Shadow Knight won’t accept that, he might have to die as well.

A horde of deadly super villains have escaped from Grayville’s maximum security super-prison, and it's up my team to hunt them down. And The Shadow Knight is helping out. Unfortunately, that means we can’t kill these villains when we catch them without shattering our tenuous alliance with the hero. But as always, I’m one step ahead, and I have some surprises in store for both Shadow Knight and the bad guys that will change the power dynamic in Grayville forever.
