    Episode One: Trial By Fire last edited by gravenraven on 05/17/23 08:33PM View full history

    At long last, the most famous face of the Milestone Universe is making his shocking return!

    Bullied nerd Virgil Hawkins wasn't the kind of kid you'd normally find on the streets at a protest– but like everyone else in the city of Dakota, he was fed up. Unfortunately, the first time he stood up to raise his voice, the world turned upside down. The experimental tear gas released that day left some of his classmates maimed or dead…but it left Virgil, and others, with stunning new abilities. Virgil has power inside him now — real power, the ability to channel and manipulate electromagnetic fields.

    But there's anger burning inside him, too.

    What is he supposed to do about all of this? And first and foremost — what is he supposed to do about his bullies, now that they've got superpowers too?

    A dynamic creative team of new comics voices and Milestone Media veterans join forces to open up a new chapter in the story of the most iconic Black teen superhero in comics history.

    What I thoughtWhat happened- Virgil is still recovering from the physical and psychological fallout of the Big Bang (SEE Milestone Returns for details). The last time he attacked Hotstreak he almost killed him. No one at school besides his friends Frieda and Richie and Hotstreak knows that he has powers. They are concerned about him but he’s playing it off. At home that night, while the family decides what to do with Virgil he is attacked by Hotstreak. In the ensuing battle, Virgil gains ...
