Showing results for "David" in Superhero

In a world that absolutely never happened… Former Prime Minister David Cameron leads a double life — and not the sensible sort involving spreadsheets. By day, he nods through meetings, tries not to break doors, and pretends to understand briefings. By night (and occasionally mid-press conference), he becomes Britain’s most unlikely superhero, battling exploding crumpets, villainous scarves, sentient paperwork, giant ducks, and a cat who is frankly far too magical for government work.

Four modern-day strangers - Dan, Aleta, Brandon, and Sarah - learn they are bound by prophecy to fix what the Olympian gods have broken. Gifted with ancient magic from long-lost civilizations, they must master their powers while contending with forces escaping from the Underworld and also find a way to repair the Sacred Scales, destroyed by an angry goddess long ago. Their success lies with Apollo, a god whose earthbound journey provided the means to fulfill the prophecy.

The ruthless Martellis run the city and don't like to leave loose ends. Fearful of the threat of the family, Ethan and Emma try to lay low, but it's no use. Fueled by vengeance and empowered by his new abilities, Ethan vows to find the man who attacked Emma and get justice.

His cousin's murder can only be a threat to his rule in the local mafia. The immediate suspect is the traitorous Michael Bello who ratted him out to the police.

Still reeling from the shocking murder of his girlfriend, Fuse managed to put Michael Bello behind bars. But only days later, the murderer strikes a plea deal and is out. Now, he's disappeared from public view. Ethan vows that justice will be done and starts the pursuit once again. But another fiend is stalking the streets of the city; someone who leaves his victims stripped of their very skin.
