Heroes are measured not by the size of their muscles, but by the size of their hearts
And sometimes, by the size of their blasters.
Heroes come in many forms, as do the villains they face… And when one arises in a form that doesn’t inspire heroic thoughts, doubt may remain. Can crafty hackers hack their way to victory against a system of evil? When the odds are long, can a fed-up ghost stand a ghost of a chance at saving the day? Will the would-be superhero, big in heart but small in stature, fly high above all obstacles? Can the cook on an intergalactic crew stand up when trouble is brewing and give someone their just desserts?
