Ten years ago, The Greatest Superhero the world had ever known…died. Live on camera, he soared down from the clouds and crashed into a burning building to save its residents trapped inside. The last resident was a young black boy. The building became unstable, crashing down around the hero and the boy.

When rescue personnel cleared the rubble, they found the hero underneath, holding the child to his chest. His final act was a sacrifice to save a life. For many years, the city mourned and that little boy grew up thinking the Greatest Hero Ever had died because of him.

And then, that boy found himself with powers of his own. Superhuman strength and untested invulnerability. He chose to take on the mantle of Paragon, to pay back the hero who saved him and bring peace and justice to the city in that man’s name.

Leaders of a gang of disillusioned youth called The Deadlords, Comedy and Tragedy begin as little more than foils for the blossoming heroes. Yet, behind the masks, there’s so much more to the devilish duo. 
Tragedy is the frontman, commanding the Deadlords and taking pleasure in the pain of others. A violent, cruel young man, Tragedy’s mask is detailed like a cracked skull.
Behind the brash Tragedy lurks the real menace, Comedy. Comedy conceals itself in a hood and plain, white mask at all times. Possessing a wicked intellect, Comedy controls both Tragedy and the Deadlords from the shadows.
