About this series
With war raging in the streets between superheroes and vigilantes, Alex Fry (Beams) strives to not only survive the war, but also end it before the superpowered
battles completely demolish his city. In addition, Beams must decide how much longer he will continue to work for his boss and his future in the superhero business in
general.
But all of that fades into the background when Beam's worst enemy blackmails him. She offers him a simple choice: Kill Rubberman, his boss, in a week, or have his identity made public and his family killed by her minions.
Now Beams must find a way to stop this mad woman while keeping his family, job, and employer safe. But with Beams' enemies closing in on all sides, this may be the
end of the road for the young hero, whose decisions will impact not merely his own fate, but the destiny of everyone he loves and cares about as well.

In a world where superheroes are a business, sixteen-year-old Alex Fry gets the dream job of teenagers everywhere when he is hired by the famous superhero Rubberman as his sidekick. As Rubberman's sidekick, Alex hopes to not only learn how to use his powers, but also save up enough money to buy his first car before he heads off to college. But Alex gets more than he bargains for when a powerful supervillain with mysterious connections to Rubberman's past appears in his city with a dangerous agenda. Now Alex must master his powers in time to help Rubberman defeat this supervillain before he succeeds in his vile plans. Yet when Alex learns about the darker side of the superhero industry, he finds himself unsure whether to keep working for Rubberman or to stand against him for the greater good. If Alex makes the wrong choice, it will change his life—and the fate of his hometown—forever.

Alex Fry (Beams) has a great life. He's a famous sidekick, works for one of the best superheroes in the world, and is even dating the girl of his dreams.

That is, until he becomes the target of the most infamous assassin in the world, whose presence in Golden City forces him to go on the run. Even with the arrival of a new superhero to protect him, Alex's life is still turned upside down, forcing him to remain in hiding to avoid getting killed. Now Alex must catch the assassin before the assassin finds him. If Alex fails to defeat the assassin, then everything he's worked for will collapse.

When a superhero serial killer comes to Golden City with the intent of killing Rubberman, Alex Fry (Beams) and his boss desperately try to track him down before he kills them. And when it turns out that the killer is Rubberman's ex-wife seeking revenge against him, Beams finds himself facing dark magic unlike anything he has faced before. But when a legendary retired superhero shows up and offers to help Beams capture the killer, Beams thinks they might just defeat the serial killer after all.

When aliens suddenly start abducting cows from local ranches, however, Beams finds himself thrown into a web of intrigue, government agents, and secrets related to the origin of Rubberman himself.
