Eighteen year old Aidan Salt isn't a superhero. WIth his powerful (and unpredictable) telekinetic abilities he could be one if he wanted to, but he doesn't. he's unambitious, selfish, and cowardly, and he doesn't want to have to deal with all the paperwork required to become a professional superhero. But since the money, fame, and women that come with wearing the cape are appealing, he decides to become the first supervillian the world has seen in more than twenty years.
