Armed with a new costume (and ice packs for his achy knees and back), brand-new hero Ruben Kwan starts using his powers for good and gets the attention of a mysterious pair of operatives in the process: the Maroon Suits, who have their own designs for his future. On the home front, Ruben must decide whether to tell his pregnant wife Annie about this new double life that, for the first time, has him feeling like he is living up to his father's legacy.
