\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Usual high school cliques,
usual high school worries,
very unusual high school students\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Valiant High,”where extraordinary students become extraordinary people” – that’s right, an entire campus filled with superpowered teens who aren’t allowed to use their powers during school (yeah\u2026sure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Principal Harada founded this school, he made sure that power-blocking badges were mandatory and that faculty members like scary Coach Bloodshot had superpowers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlucky for Amanda that her ability to talk to machines won’t work in driver ed<\/a> – is this the only test she can’t pass?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky for Aric that he found his place on the football field – who could challenge his destiny as Homecoming King?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Peter, he’s not so sure that he wants the new guy to transform him from forgotten to unforgettable as a social experiment to challenge Aric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creepy janitor they call Shadowman, eternal sophomore Gilad (maybe immortal?), bloodball in PE (dodgeball with no rules<\/a> and all their superpowers activated), flying Faith (fat and phenomenal) – what other secrets does Valiant High hold?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to meet Livewire, X-O Manowar, Zephyr, Quantum and Woody, and others before their super-careers (for good or evil) in the Valiant Universe<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What superpower would you want to have in high school?
