Definitely not a military-funded Marvel-style superhero story, but still uses a few overdone superhero tropes. The plot beats are very familiar to anyone who's seen Spiderman and Invincible.
I like Danny and Sarah though! And the concept of a totally closeted trans girl transforming into a supermodel is hilarious. There's better YA out there, but it's really cool to have a trans heroine.
