He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them.

Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he WOULD be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time.
