“If you would create something, you would be something”

Truer words have never been spoken. X-MEN #1 – the moment I fell in love with the comic book form. From there, my paper route earnings were permanently funneled to the local Comic Book Store. I snapped up all I could afford, I would trade with friends and dream of my own characters and extensions to current favourites.

I stopped collecting for awhile during the whole “put a crazy cover on everything and sell high” phase in comics. All I cared about were the stories, if the story was great I would by it – I never cared about the monetary investment. My inspirations are Valiant, DareDevil, X-Men, and early WILDCATS/CyberForce.

Formally – I have no writing training (none, nada, zipo), I still have dreams every now and again of failing OAC English (I didn’t but for some reason I have this recurring dream). This whole writing thing can be incredibly daunting, but the rewards from seeing someone read and comment on your work are immeasurable (yes even the bad comments). If anything they serve to validate that you have piqued their interest, and if you have opened up that door then the rest is up to you (or rather me as this is my bio).

For the past few years I have felt the yearning to write – something, anything – random thoughts and descriptions penetrate my train of thought when I should be working. Zeros2Heroes is my outlet.

Enjoy.

A powerful, mystical Orb has been passed from hero to hero for generations. Originally created by a group of sorcerers and mystics called the Sanctum, the Orb enables its host to become Earth?s greatest champion while giving them the powers they need to complete this task.

When a hero is ready to step down, the Orb gives them (the hero) the name of the next hero to pass the Orb onto. Thus ensuring Earth always has a hero to rely on in their time of need. Over the years the Orb has empowered many heroes from different walks of life. When the Orb is passed from old hero to new hero, the old hero forfeits all abilities the Orb gave to them.

Six years ago, Jamie Feris gave up the Orb to Kaleb Jackson. Jamie ceased being Cosmic and Kaleb became Saviour. After that night, they never saw or spoke to each other again. Since then Jamie has gone spent his years trying to mend relationships with friends and family, hold down a steady job and move forward in life.

He is a forgotten hero and our only hope.
