Navigating a midlife crisis is never easy. When you're a retired superheroine and a not-quite-retired supervillain, or when you're their latently superpowered daughter, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Suburban life has left Max, formerly Lady Steel, and Russ, formerly Doctor Havoc, clinging to an unraveling marriage, both longing for and bitter about their pasts. Their daughter, Chris, has lived a safe life, but one without a sense of purpose. Now the past comes back to haunt them when a new player assumes Russ' old identity. Both of them must deal with their past mistakes and present ennui to face this new threat – and they've been out of the game for years. In the middle of all of it is Chris, learning that her parents aren't who she thought they were, learning that she isn't what she thought she was, and discovering the price of her Heritage of Steel.
