Publisher's Synopsis
The Superstars had returned as heroes. Many wanted to go their separate ways and convinced themselves the war was over. But it was just beginning; while heroes like Gadgetmaster, Transwarp, Touchstone, and Belladonna adjusted to change, they were changed and changing themselves. Far from the heroes' view, the criminal leader known as the Empress still commanded vast power and engineered a bloodless coup in southern Asia. From her new base, the conqueror discovered what would again extend her power and dominion over all the earth. New heroes like Mariner and Iris joined the Superstars in a race around the world to stop the new menace. Along the way, the heroes would find that cooperation, like beauty, was only skin deep . . .
