The story begins with a superhero locomotive unable to control its own speed, bumped into a couple walking on the road, the female Robin, and died directly. Male Huey is sad.
Robin's funeral, Locomotive offers its deepest condolences. The locomotive said, "I was chasing the bank robber and she was standing in the middle of the road"
In fact, Robin is still half a step away from the road, and the locomotive distorts the facts. Then, the Water Company, which belongs to the locomotive, asked a lawyer to compensate Huey, that is, hush money, and signed a non-disclosure agreement. Huey refuses and wants to sue the locomotive, but Huey's father persuades him to sign the agreement and forget about it.
A man named Butcher, find him to avenge him.
In this regard, the two sides of the main contradiction unfold. One side is the "Seven" with perfect characters and superpowers, and the other side is the ordinary boys who have been hurt by "superhumans". The contradiction between Huey and the locomotive, the contradiction between the butcher and the motherland, the contradiction between the perfect image of "superhuman" and the dirty things he has done, the contradiction between the public's enthusiasm and fear of "superhuman".
The superhero industry is commercialized, and Walter International manages "superhumans", makes movies, and builds theme parks. Superhero endorsement products. on a TV show.
"Superhumans" are not born with superpowers, they were created by Walter Company and entered the "Group of Seven" through interview selection. The company packs their characters, speaking and acting according to the characters, and the company's public relations team is responsible for wiping their butts. The Water Company sells "Superhumans" as a product.
"Superhumans" enjoy the feeling of being aloof and being trusted by others, but they are also full of disdain for ordinary people, and they don't treat people as human beings at all, and they ignore human life. For example, the locomotive accidentally hit a person, and he didn't think he was breaking the law and didn't care. In order to maintain the image of the "Group of Seven", a lot of dirty things have been done.
The locomotive accidentally kills because of chasing criminals, so he himself becomes a criminal. This is a fact of breaking the law, which is a great irony. However, superhumans are like police officers who are not charged if they carry out their missions and cause casualties. This has become a powerful weapon for PR to wipe their ass for them.
The main reason people don't hear these reports: is because the public doesn't want to know, people like the comfort that superhumans bring them, some good bastards coming down from the sky to save the world so they don't have to do it themselves . But if you know half of their deeds, it will be heinous.
People both revere and fear "superhumans", believe in them fervently, and fear that they will act recklessly. In the darkest moment, the motherland and Queen Maeve failed to solve the hijacking of the passenger plane. The captain was killed and the passenger plane crashed. In order to maintain a perfect image, no one was saved.
"Superhumans" can do whatever they want, and once they get out of control, nothing can hold them back. The only weakness of "superhumans" is that they care about people.
Boys don't fight superhumans for social justice, they just want revenge, a group of ordinary people declare war on superhumans with absolute power.
The day after tomorrow, Huey fell in love with Starlight, Frankie fell in love with Himiko, and had a bond with Superhuman. The butcher believed that his wife, Becca, had been killed by the people of the motherland, and he had no hesitation in taking revenge on the people of the motherland. Finally, I learned that Becca gave birth to a son for the motherland.
At the end of the whole play, I look forward to the conflict between boys and "superhumans" in the next season.
