What would you do if you were a 16-year-old who suddenly found yourself charged with power you had no idea how to control? That's the question facing Grant Emerson as DAMAGE explodes into the DC Universe.

But how he acquired these powers is a disturbing mystery. Now Damage is on a desperate search for the truth behind his mysterious origins. The clues suggest Damage's real parents may be among the greatest heroes in the DC Universe, and his quest to learn the truth will be a major theme in the early issues of the series, ultimately leading to a shocking revelation. And if that's not enough, after Damage's powers first surface, Superman's old adversary, the giant cyborg Metallo, appears on the scene to test the youth's powers!
