It is a Thursday morning at a quarter to nine, on the Powell Street Hill, in San Francisco. 59 strangers are riding a cable car on their way to work when a bolt of mysterious energy surrounds the car and irrevocably changes each one of the passengers, giving each one ultrahuman abilities. Some die instantly, their bodies unable to handle the strain. Others feel completely unaffected, the changes too small to feel. Some will become heroes, some villains.
