Now depowered and ordinary, they wander a world without icons…except one. PenUltimate, Ultimate’s former sidekick. who refused the sacrifice still possesses all his powers—and now the world needs him more than ever. PenUltimate built a life beyond the game with his wife, turning his back on the superhero legacy. But when new terrorist attacks tear through Arcadia, humanity’s last powered defender is pulled unwillingly back into action.
