One night, while playing a prank on the town's high school, Kyle Camden is exposed to plasma. From the plasma, he obtains superpowers.

Awesome, right?

Except for the fact that from the plasma appears a clumsy, really-bad-at-saving-the-world alien named Mighty Mike.

Determined to prove who Mike really is, Kyle turns into a supervillain to show everyone the truth. When the world turns against him and the radiation from the alien puts his friend's life in danger, however, Kyle will have more to deal with than he ever imagined.

Can Kyle save his best friend? Can he prove Mighty Mike is not who he says he is?

A quick read for superhero fans, the characters are entertaining and memorable. The plot is simple, but fun to read. Those who like adventure, action, superheroes, and fantasy will enjoy reading ARCHVILLAIN.
