She’s finally gained the control she’s always sought — and will use her new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs (ExtraOrdinaries, basically superheroes), Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.
