Superhero. Supervillain. It’s complicated.

The first arc of The Young Protectors is a coming-of-age superhero story featuring young fire-bending hero Kyle—a member of the independent Young Protectors superhero team—who falls into the power of a handsome and dangerous older super-villain.

Kyle, a closeted, teen superhero who can control fire—has finally summoned up the courage to enter a local gay bar. It’s his very first step towards accepting himself. Unfortunately for him, his very next step out of the bar places him face-to-face with The Annihilator, the most dangerous supervillain in the world. And the price that The Annihilator demands to keep Kyle’s secret will lead Kyle down a path fraught with danger, adventure and unexpected romance.
