Conspiracy Theories Meet Superhero Reality
Abandoned in a dark alley as a baby and raised in one of the toughest inner cities in the country, Michael Edwards’ life took a drastic turn when he discovered he had Earth powers and heard the ominous words, 'The Storm is Coming.' He honed his powers, formed a team with other young superheroes, and defeated a dangerous criminal. However, he then went off the grid to track down the remnants of the criminal’s gang alone.
Now, Michael has returned to New York City with a mission. Not only does he seek justice- he is out for vengeance for the harm done to his mother, as well as the legacy that rightfully belongs to him.
Standing in the way of Michael's rightful inheritance is The Society, a covert organization that wields significant power and can only be described as pure malevolence. Taking down The Society single-handedly would seem impossible for any teenage boy. But for Michael Edwards, also known as Stone Tactical or Boogie Knight, it may just be within reach.
The Society is in for a rude awakening, as they are about to face a force unlike anything they have ever encountered.
