The Trifecta

"The War Is Just Beginning." After a triumphant first year of training, Michael Fleming believes his problems are finally behind him . . . Wrong. His troubles are just beginning. In his second year among the Trifecta's elite heroes, he will face even greater challenges. When he discovers his brother's body has been resurrected, Michael must spend most of the year searching for him. But a new evil sidetracks his efforts. Mastermind, the world's most formidable super genius, hopes to enslave Michael in her bid to destroy the Trifecta. As the year progresses, Michael finds strength in new and old friends, which helps him combat a mysterious and dark force that looms over him. Although he struggles to control his fluctuating powers, he works hard to prepare for an approaching battle--one that may prove to be his last. Yet this is only half the story. After 16 years of imprisonment, Mr. Mental, an original member of The Four Faces of Evil, breaks free from the Trifecta's prison. Along with his brother Fireball, he attempts to resurrect their criminal organization by recruiting new and old allies. Much to his dismay, he forms an uneasy alliance with Mastermind while they both devise their own plan to destroy the Trifecta and eventually kill each other. But there is room for only one super genius in this story.
