The story is set in an alternative universe where Canada has superheroes. The story begins during World War II explaining how various events create a world with superheroes, before quickly moving to modern times as the Canadian Government tries to counter the efforts of a terrorist organization known as Medusa. The Canadian, Canada’s main superhero, is asked to recruit a team in Montreal to help him stop Medusa’s evil plans in Quebec. The Heroes and Villains: THE CANADIAN (Larry Vinette): Is portrayed as a supreme patriotic example of what Canada is all about — or should be... FLEUR-DE-LYS (Edith Labelle): She is the only official provincial government operative, a privilege granted after much complaining from the Bloc Quebecois... 8 BALL (Andy Bradshaw): Tony Falcon, an ex-soldier and pool champion, goes ballistic on a group of thugs who killed his wife in a failed robbery attempt. NORDIK (Vanessa Blouin): Due to threats over Canadian Arctic sovereignty by foreign nations, she is assigned to protect Northern Quebec and the corresponding Arctic regions. BLACK TERROR (John Fallon): Pharmacologist Bob Benton was working on a nanotechnology application to reinforce muscles with the goal of helping paraplegics to walk one day. CANADIAN SHIELD (Michel Brouillette): The only Section 8 success story from World War II, meaning the only one to successfully complete the program without major harm or mental imbalance. VILLAINS DR. JOSEPH MENGELE (Constantine Kourtidis): A Nazi scientist who figured out how to revive the dead. MADAME DOOM (Anne-Marie Losique): A former Quebec beauty queen whose face was partially destroyed by a bottle of acid thrown by a disgruntled feminist, leaving her partially disfigured. She hides her face behind a Phantom of the Opera style mask. MASQUERADE (Pia Metni): Diana Adams was a bored socialite (like Paris Hilton but with a brain) who decided to spice up her life by taking on the identity of Masquerade, a masked vigilante. CRIMSON (Bianca Beauchamp): A statuesque red-headed assassin-for-hire who often works for Medusa. HORNET (Marie-Claude Bourbonnais): Little is known at the moment about the Hornet besides her mischievous nature, her statuesque looks, and her amazing martial arts abilities. NEW FELQUISTS: A splinter group of a homegrown Quebec patriotic terrorist group.
