A bizarre accident grants civil engineer Mitchell Hundred an extraordinary power: he can communicate with and command any machine. Mitchell transforms himself into the world's first genuine superhero, but the excitement of maintaining order through costumed heroics eventually loses its appeal. He abandons his mask to pursue political office, winning the New York City mayoral race decisively. His victory marks the beginning of truly strange events. Mitchell's administration faces challenges that dwarf his superhero career, including his role in preventing the second aircraft during the September 11 attacks. A far more dangerous threat emerges, one that will test whether the former hero can resist corruption or become an example of how power destroys those who wield it. The complete fifty-issue saga from writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony Harris combines science fiction elements with political intrigue, following Mitchell and his associates as their world transforms around them.
