Somewhere tonight in the back alleys of this big, bad old city, a [[Superhero]] and [[Super Villain]] are going to fight. One will win and one will lose, and maybe die in the process. Or the body of a famous [[The Cape (trope)|Cape]] is going to be found under mysterious circumstances, with no sign of how they were killed. Or a trio of superpowered [[Mooks]] will commit a crime. And somewhere, some poor schmoe of a cop is going to be woken up to investigate the whole thing, type up all the reports, and realize that he's not being paid nearly enough for what he's doing when he faces down a villain who [[Immune to Bullets|just laughs at him when he draws his gun on them]].
A minor [[Deconstructor Fleet]] taken to [[The Ages of Super Hero Comics|Super Hero Comics]], ''Powers'' looks at the world of superpowered crime, life and death through the eyes of two [[Muggles|non-powered]] detectives who investigate crimes committed by and related to superheroes and villains. These investigations frequently lead Detectives Christian Walker, (who at one time was a powerful superhero before losing his powers prior to the start of the comics) and Deena Pilgrim, (a spunky female partner with very serious anger and control issues) into the seedier side of superpowered life, sex, messed up group dynamics and relationships, and the culture that surrounds it, including everything from trashy tabloids obsessed with the Powers to the bureaucratic nightmare that lies at the heart of the multiple government agencies they often have to deal with.
