#7 - Artifice America: "Hooked on Colonics"
"You know what? That's right: I do remember seeing you reading the funnybooks now and again in the intern pool."
"Graphic novels, man. Graphic novels." Stan lowered the coffee pot and rolled his eyes. Amateurs. It was a wonder how man was ever able to make it beyond Mars, let alone completely terra-forming Alpha Centauri for amazonian colonization. It must have been the genes.
"Sorry, graphic novels." Shelton adjusted his wire-framed glasses and gave his curiosity chase. "So, what do you know about how these powers work?"
"Great power. Great responsibility. High stakes. Moral messages. Morality tales." Stan tossed a hand in the air as if he had answered the question a million times, mostly to English teachers who refused to accept his books reports on Amazing Fantasy #15.
"You're hired." Shelton turned his attention back toward the papers on his desk and his flatscreen monitor. He had three weeks to draft a Bill, and, with any luck, the uber-geek next to him would do all the work for a fraction of the money Shelton planned to claim for research costs and per diem. Unphased by the news of his spur of the moment promotion, Stan grabbed the Congressman's cup of coffee and drank it himself.
"Great... power...," Shelton's fingers were ablaze, capturing the words on screen for later plagiarizing, "great responsibility. We should use that in the proposal. Congress will love it."
"It's... uh, copyrighted, sir."
"Got anything better?"
"Not yet, but I know this guy who's in advertising..."
"He any good?"
"Kinda. I mean, he's stuck on this whole ‘trying to come up with a slogan for Captain Awesome's Awesome Underwear' thing."
"A subject matter expert. Call him up. He's got the job."

Humanity is a different kind of series, breaking away from the current AC stable and adding its own spin to our original universe. In a nutshell, there will be no single star in this book, and no super hero or villain as its main character. This is the story of the lives effected by supers, not how a super effects a mortal's life.
Also, introduced here are two members of a Historic Age dynasty. Who they are, why they are here, and what role they play in AC while be covered over the next few issues. Come enjoy the ride through an average man's eyes.
