"I must face my heroes
And I'll get them from within
I can play the villain
That's the only way to win!"

In The Scarlet Savior, Maggie Sullivan, a small town superhero, gets hired by Superhero Inc. to take over as New York City's first female superhero in the wake of the famous Powerfist's murder by New York's villain, The Siren. But life isn't a comic book and Maggie soon learns that the lines between heroes and villains aren't so clearly drawn.
