MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1997. Stopped in 1998 after 19 issues.

The starring characters are 4 teenagers, who, from conception, have been genetically manipulated by their parents to display superpowers. This was done on an experimental basis by the pharmaceutical company Galloway & Galloway under a top secret pilot project called ZEUS: Control. The teens were brought up in an underground bunker to shield them from the public, but, as it turns out, they are still acting as normal kids and occasionally troublemakers.
The teens are Parker Matthews (Blur), Jane Ngo (Calamity), and the siblings Christine (XL) and Zach (Rebound) Helvin.
