AN ANCIENT TRIGGER GENE
buried deep in humankind's DNA is sporadically activating, evolving
some humans into something superhuman. Influenced by comic-book culture,
many of these 'chimerics,' as they have been dubbed, have taken on
costumes and adopted codenames. Organizations have risen to either
train, exploit, or police these chimerics, and the entire world is at
odds about their very existence.Emergence collects nine tales, each with a unique perspective on what it might be like to be superhuman in the modern age."From the Barrel of a Gun" by Jeff C.
