3.5 stars. This was a decent superhero novel, and I'm glad to see a slight trend toward more of them.

Okay, you're 17 and mad at your parents. They are crime-fighting superheros and they've always been disappointed in you because you've never developed any special abilities. So, just to get back at them, you spend a couple of months consorting with the Destructor, the ultimate crime lord and their a...
