If you could have any superpower, what would you choose? Super strength? Invisibility? The ability to fly? Super speed? So many superpowers to choose from.

Unfortunately, for Licky Ricky, he didn’t get to choose. He just woke up one day with the most useless, least impressive, socially unacceptable, slightly embarrassing, frankly gross, superpower of all time!

Grab your barf bags, buckle up and brace yourself for the unbelievable but entirely true origin story of the worst hero ever in Feet First (Worst Hero Ever! #1)!
