Review: Good Start to a Superhero Storyline
Rating: 4 out of 5

This proved to be a good, but not fantastic story.  It doesn't reach the level of some of the other superhero stories that I've given 4 stars, but it deserves 4 stars for what it is.Overall, the concept was rather surprising, but quickly made sense.  In this world the superheroes transform randomly, gaining a power, but also having their emotional responses modified and having one emotion become prominent and almost constant.  This is used to generate a conflict with the unpowered as many of the "infected" transform with anger or rage as a primary emotion and go on destructive sprees.That conflict is used to drag you into the story as a newly "infected" has his roommates girlfriend turn on him without even finding out what his power is.  He suffers a bit, but then starts to grow as a character.There are some flaws in the story.  The villains in the piece are often overdone, and motives for many of the badguys are a bit suspect.  But overall this story was solid and interesting.
