𧩠Brief Plot Summary:
When a mysterious cosmic force known as Cascade emerges, threatening not just one world but the entire multiverse, it calls for an unprecedented alliance. Heroes from across the Action Lab universe are summoned, including The F1RST Hero’s Jake Roth, the super-strong Molly Danger, and street-smart Midnight Tiger. As these vastly different heroes collide, tensions flare, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested.
The only person who might truly understand Cascade’s origin is Medula, Molly Danger’s longtime adversary. But can he be trusted? As Cascade’s power escalates, the heroes must decide whether to follow their instincts—or risk it all for the greater good.
