Liberator

Pandora's Box has been opened, and now there's no closing it. In rushing to create more super soldiers, Ruthenia inadvertently unleashed two new super villains on itself. Mistika, who has the ability to take any form, including non-organic, and Oksana Ovechkin, who can absorb the life force of others and, in the Liberator's case, gain his strength and powers.

While trying to fight her, she ends up draining the Liberator of his powers, leaving her the super- powered being while he's nothing more than an ordinary man. The Liberator's super-strength and invulnerability left many criminals cowering in fear. Now it seems he's about to find out what it's like to be on the receiving end.

Included in this book is a special bonus story: "The Misadventures of Captain Communist," a humorous parody of the Liberator series. Meet Vladimir Prokov, dictator of the Soviet Union and its greatest hero (by decree of the Central Committee), Captain Communist, along with his trusty sidekick (and real hero of the story), Socialist Boy. Together, they fight to protect the workers of Russia from the icy hand of that cold-hearted capitalist, Mr. Free-Enterprise, who wants to run his own business selling frozen treats. It's camp comedy and political satire blended with superhero shenanigans for flavour. See good triumph over evil, or evil triumph over good, or one form of evil triumph over another form of evil. It really all depends on where your social/political/economic views lie . . .
