Life can be a real hot mess for a budding teenage poet. Meet Eric Plath: an ordinary high school boy with an obsession for the color blue, a gay kid surrounded by loving parents and an annoying older sister, a teenager who'd have gone through this dicey life stage without a hitch had it not been for those crummy superheroes and supervillains. This omnibus contains the original three books of a seven-volume superhero comedy series.

Rise of Heroes: Strange things are happening in Vintage City, and sixteen-year-old Eric seems to be right in the middle of them. There's a new villain in town, one with super powers, and he's wreaking havoc everywhere and on Eric's life. The new superhero who springs up to defend Vintage City is almost as bad, making Eric all hot and bothered, enough so that he almost misses the love that's right under his nose.

Evolution: While his friends continue to develop their newfound powers, Eric begins to feel the effects of being the odd man out, and work-related stress creeps into Eric's relationship with Peter. To make matters worse, there are the strange headaches, sleepwalking, and nightmares that haunt Eric, as well as the Devil's Trill's call for him to take his place as a supervillain sidekick.

Ordinary Champions: As a newly-transformed supervillain sidekick, Eric struggles with his conscience and schemes to turn the tables on the Trill. But his powers deteriorate, growing more and more unstable. He realizes that he doesn't have much time left to set things right on his own, even if it costs him his life.
