One of them is actually a student at Dr. Do-Good's School for Superior Superheroes and he or she is here to take down Master Dreadthorn. Can Rune and Co. protect their school from the superheroes? Everything you know about good and evil is turned upside down in this delightful series where the "bad guys" wind up saving the world . . . reluctantly.
