Description Life in Sydney for your average superhero is not as straightforward as it might seem. Sure there are the daring rescues and the public adulation, but then there's the less glamorous side of the job. Having formed a collective to better utilise their individual skills, Sydney's superheroes meet regularly to thrash out the important issues: allocation of responsibilities, costume designs, legal threats and the biscuit roster. Like any group there are differences of opinion, antagonism, accusations and sexual tension. And every now and again they help someone in need.
