The only family member to
survive the 9/11 attacks. A sidekick-turned-construction-worker.
The teenaged products of an institute for unwanted metahuman
children. The man who can make anyone do anything. Are they
heroes? Are they villains? Sometimes they're both. Often, even at
the same time.
Corrupts Absolutely? collects twenty brand-new stories from veteran authors and newcomers, each with a unique perspective on what it might really be like to be superhuman in today's day and age. In the center of such a roiling mass of uncertainty and excitement lies one important truth: the fight against good or evil is never as important as the fight for or against oneself.

Excerpt (Retribution):
September 11, 2001, 8:46 a.m. That's when it
all went to hell.
The date and time are seared into my mind
with a heat I can only pray my wife never felt. Candace had found
her dream job. Just the week before, she'd started at
Channel 5, WNYW. Their offices were on the 110th floor of the
North Tower, and she'd worked overnight, preparing for her first
time on camera. She was just a
fill-in, but she wanted to be
perfect. Candace always did.
She was scheduled off at
9:00.
