- Hard Time
A high-school shooting costs four students their lives, and 15-year-old Ethan Harrow, who participated in the incident although not with the murders, his future. Now he's got 50 years of hard time to look forward to even while his latent psionic powers are coming to the surface.

- Kinetic
Tom Morell, a sickly, disabled, ultra-loser facing the daily hell of high school. Worse yet, his sole means of emotional support is his loving but smothering mother who fears he'll drop dead at any moment. And the worst part is, she's right.
Tom's only escape is the super-heroic exploits of Kinetic, his favorite comic-book hero. But unbeknownst to Tom, he's got some powers of his own, and they're going to change his life — assuming they manifest themselves before Tom reaches the end of his rope and decides that life isn't worth living! By Kelley Puckett and Warren Pleece. Canceled after eight issues.
- Fraction
Four high-school pals who reunite years later and pull off a petty theft for old times' sake. But what they end up stealing is a power suit with incredible abilities — and it could prove to be the very thing that tears them apart! By David Tischman and Timothy Green II. Canceled after six issues.
- Touch
A Vegas huckster makes his living as an agent for people with super-human abilities. Few know that he is actually the source of his heroes' powers: he can grant a random super power to any person, but only one person at a time. Can he find the right partner and make it big? By John Francis Moore and Wesley Craig. Canceled after six issues.

Famous quotes containing the word titles:
“Lear. Dost thou call me fool, boy?
Fool. All thy other titles thou hast given away; that thou wast born with.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
