Television that packs a punch.   

Character Sketches

    Ethan McKinnon: A college film student who stood his ground and filmed a superhero battle inside the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, Ethan is The Network’s newest junior cameraman. He’s got guts and confidence but not a whole lot of sense, and he’s got no idea of the consequences of even a simple mistake—like failing to turn off a cell phone when filming.

    Cassidy Page: Cassidy is an up-and-coming on-air reporter at The Network; she’s already a glitzy B-list celebrity, and she’s been pegged as the nation’s next great anchorwoman. That is, until she gets a little too overzealous in her pursuit of Firefly’s secret identity…

    Clay Riley: Clay is quite simply the nation’s finest investigative reporter working the superhero beat. He’s broken dozens of stories, from cover-ups of alien invasions to traitors in the ranks of heroes. But along the way, he’s made some extremely powerful enemies—and given half a chance, they’re looking to make that the next time he appears on TV, it’s with birth and death dates under his picture.

    Javier Rincon: Javy Rincon is the founder of The Network, one of the world’s wealthiest men, and a former member of the interstellar search-and-rescue team that loosely translates as “Starlight.” Running The Network poses its own set of challenges, but until Ethan showed up, they weren’t ever life-threatening.

Armada & Firefly: These two heroes, both members of the elite heroic Honor Guard, couldn’t be more different. Armada is a ruthless weaponeer, a teleporter who’s always got with just the right tools right at hand. But when cameraman Ethan McKinnon tapes Armada using disturbingly excessive force on a criminal, he learns just how vicious an enemy this hero can be. Firefly, on the other hand, is an athletic jokester and a dashing charmer, one of the world’s most famous mystery men and a constant obsession of The Network’s cameras.

The Network: The Network is a worldwide multimedia presence devoted solely to the lives, loves, triumphs, and tragedies of super-powered heroes and villains. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, The Network has its logo on everything from websites to kids’ toys, t-shirts to candy bars. It’s the most reliable source for superhuman news—if The Network says it, it has to be true. Like it or not.
