Hero Worship (1)

The world only has a single superhero. His name is Zenith, and he’s more of a pop icon than every rock star and athlete put together. Legions of adoring admirers follow every disaster, trying to speculate where he’ll pop up next. They amass outside of the corporate headquarters of the Zenith Foundation, or risk their lives near forest fires and accident sites, simply to catch a glimpse. Adam, a young and dedicated fan, used to daydream what it would like to be Zenith… and what appears to be an act of fate suddenly makes it a daydream no longer. What happens when someone with an unhealthy obsession becomes the very thing he once idolized? When he becomes something more than human? When he becomes a celebrity, a product, an image? Zak Penn and Scott Murphy, two of the most accomplished screenwriters in the realms of science fiction and superheroes, present the tragic and triumphant human tale of what it’s like to become superhuman.
