Description:

Kyle's got an off-the-charts IQ and superpowers. So how come his attempts to reveal super-popular superhero Mighty Mike's true identity as an alien always backfire? He could just tell everyone what he knows, but then he'd have to admit that he is the town's accidental archvillain, the Azure Avenger. With the town police, the U.S. Army, and even the FBI on his trail, that might not be such a genius idea. But now a new villain, the Mad Mask, shows up, looking for help building Ultitron, the ultimate weapon of destruction. In return, the Mad Mask will allow Kyle full use of Ultitron to send Mighty Mike packing. Kyle agrees, but he has his own plan: to find out the Mad Mask's real identity and steal his superpowers. But will this scheme work, or will it backfire with even more dire consequences? There's only one thing for certain: it's not easy being an archvillain. Laugh along with the outrageous twists and turns in this second book in the comic-inspired series!
