Convince us to read the book: Well written and witty, but the ending is oddly abrupt and feels unfinished with a number of clichés.
Memorable or Forgettable: The characters and powers are well done and interesting, but some logic is clichéd and flawed.
Cover: The cover looks nice and serves to display the superficiality of professional heroism.

Annotation: Marvin Maywood dreams of being a hero -- he has the powers, he has the ideals, but there is one problem; Marvin's powers are classified as "dirty," unstable and dangerous. But when Marvin saves a family from a group of hoodlums, things begin to look up for him. Until he finds the truth about the professional heroes he worships.
