Early Years

Mark Grayson discovers his superpowers during his teenage years, initially struggling to balance his normal life with his responsibilities as a superhero. His father, Omni-Man, is a powerful alien superhero, which adds complexity to Mark's journey as he learns about his heritage and the responsibilities that come with his powers.
