Masquerade: Destined for Villainy?
Born Maxwell Lee Preston, burdened by a name and destiny he despises, Masquerade is a sixteen-year-old supervillain on the run. With a pulverizing punch and a past filled with betrayal and violence, he escapes prison only to find his world shattered. His father wants him dead, his only friends hate him, and the superhero he nearly killed might have died for him. As he flees into the night, broken and alone, Masquerade must decide if he's truly destined for villainy, or if there's a chance to burn it all down and start anew.
The rain lashes down on the rooftop, each drop stinging your skin. Below, the lights of Silver Dollar shimmer, a quilt of homes that feel both familiar and impossibly distant. The sirens are a growing scream, a chorus that mirrors the turmoil in your gut. You are Masquerade, a name that feels both like a title and a lie, and you are on the run. Your phone rings, a lifeline you've been desperate for. "Chip!" you say, your voice tight with a desperate hope. But the soft, low voice on the other end delivers a crushing blow: "I'm not coming."
