Stand-In
Bill Grissom, seventeen, doesn't have long to live, and when he's given a second chance as a substitute for his counterpart in a parallel universe, he jumps at the chance to become the Golden Guardsman.Things go well at first. Along with Veil-Charlene Thompson, Matter-Man-Anders Nixon, and Monolith-Martin Bollock, the other members of the group, they dispense justice wherever it's needed.However, Matter-Man's insistence on getting paid for a job well done doesn't sit well with Bill, and he becomes jaded and cynical about working for the Collective. To Matter-Man, and to the other members of the group, it's all about the coin.As well, more and more super-criminals start to appear, and when Bill discovers who's coming and more importantly, why, he learns that being a hero involves more than simply dispensing justice. It's all about living up to the ideals of being one-something that could cost him his life.
