Countdown to THE PYRITE WAR: #12: Aqua Vitae

AQUA VITAE

Powers: Telekinetic manipulation of water.

First Appearance: The Pyrite War

Notes from the Simon Tower Archive: Considering what’s going on in the Tower these days, I thought I should look into some of the heroes of the past. Like this guy: “Aqua Vitae.” He could move water around… harden it, shape it, twist it into anything he wanted it to be. I wonder what he could have accomplished if he’d been around a little longer.

In 1939 Siegel City only had one superhero, the world’s first. When he discovered his powers, Gabriel Ruston thought he would be the second, but died on his first excursion in costume.

After Gabriel’s death, his brother David is drawn into an investigation. What if Gabriel wasn’t the second? What if there were others? What if something tragic happened to all of them?

In Siegel City, nothing is ever what it seems… even in a Golden Age.

THE PYRITE WAR launches on September 10, 2013. Prepare for battle.
