In a world where the apocalypse came not as one disaster but many, Max Peterson delivers newspapers through the broken streets of New Harbor. He's nobody special - just a courier with bad timing and a hopeless crush on the city's brightest superhero, Lumina.
But when Max accidentally stands between a villain and his target, something extraordinary happens. The stories people tell about his bravery - exaggerated with each retelling - begin to change him. Max discovers he can physically manifest the abilities that others believe he possesses.
As rumors spread, so does his power.
Now Max leads a double life: unremarkable courier by day, legendary hero by night. With each new rumor, his abilities shift in unexpected ways - both blessing and curse as he stumbles through his new reality with more heart than skill.
Only one thing remains constant: no matter how many times he's knocked down, Max always gets back up.
THE POWER OF RUMOR is a heart-warming superhero comedy about perception, courage, and finding strength in the stories we tell about each other - even when those stories aren't entirely true.
