shhhh just do it anyways YOU CAN DO IT

it is about SUPERHEROES. more specifically it is about what makes a hero a hero. we've got our main character, who's a bit of a coward and really doesn't want these abilities she's been given, her best friend who has no abilities but is eager to help, and a mutant at their school who gets folded into their band and wants to do good with his abilities. and they're all heroes, just in very different ways. it is also about a girl who wants nothing more than to be left in peace and quiet and has to deal with suddenly having huge responsibilities and really incredible powers. SHE IS NOT PLEASED.

I guess the running theme is sort of - the measure of a person is not what they are capable of, but what they do with what they are capable of.
