Maybe it's the inevitable result of everything that has ever happened to him since his miraculous birth.

Or is it?On his sixteenth birthday, still trying to cope with the unexpected death of his father, David Schumacher decides--or does he--to change his name to Blue Avenger, hoping to find a way to make a difference in his Oakland neighborhood and in the world.
