Hm. The superhero aspect is rather the weakest point of this book. There is an excess of villains who feel like afterthoughts; the heroes are bad/simplistically exaggerated ripoffs of the Justice League; the main characters powers are inconsistent and seem to expand in awesomeness very conveniently during dire situations. Rocks fall and everyone dies...until they don't??? Questions are asked and don't get resolved. Villains act irrationally, but perhaps only because the POV is limited and very much focused on the main character's day-to-day perspective rather than on seriously developing any of the side characters outside of when the main character interacts with him. 
 I kind of wonder about why so many characters/officials became so cold and antagonistic upon finding out the main guy was gay but...then this morning I heard on the radio about the issue gay couples have trying to file taxes in states that don't recognize their marriages, and realized I probably don't get what kind of persecution they go through since it's not an issue I have to deal with. 
 Despite all these flaws, I kept reading and I genuinely wanted to find out more of what happened. Just be aware that you shouldn't be reading this for the superheroes. Read it for the human interest aspect.
