Genre: Millennial neo-superheroism

Thank you! I like the scale of it... rather than a hundred or a thousand superhumans, you're looking at something like 34 million in play. I'm also fond of the for want of a nailishness of it... the first Client to eat food with cayenne pepper? Count. First Client to kill someone with her powers? Count.
