Synopsis
Throughout the ages, history has called upon great men and women to step up to the challenges of their time. To be the great heroes of legend and fight back against the forces of evil that would threaten to destroy civilization. These titans of myth were unto gods cast into the edifice of time like marble statues, wholly without flaw. Unfortunately, history doesn't have those people. Instead four very different heroes have to join forces to save the city of New York, if they don't destroy each other first.
