Secondly, they tried to attack one of the powerful Epics in Steelheart's employ known as Conflux he is known as a 'gifter', or 'transference Epic' which gives him the ability to gift his powers to non-Epics and in his case, anything that runs on electricity. First, they blow up the power plant that supplies Newcago with a portion of its electricity. To make Steelheart take the challenge seriously, they stage two attacks which they accredit to Limelight. The Reckoners create a plan to lure out Steelheart the plan is to announce that there is a powerful new Epic named Limelight, who challenges Steelheart to a fight. David dedicates his life to learning about the Epics' power, Steelheart's weakness, and about a group of normal humans dedicated to killing Epics, called the Reckoners, so that he can get revenge on Steelheart. David later guessed that Steelheart did this because everyone in the bank had watched him bleed and had learned that his invincibility had a weakness. This also saved him because Steelheart came back with another Epic named Faultline and sank the entire building into the ground, killing all other survivors. Later, David was recovered by rescue workers, but ran away scared. David crawled into one of the vaults, which ultimately saved him from falling debris and isolated him from Steelheart's energy blasts. Enraged, Steelheart killed David's father and then proceeded to destroy the bank. When his father shot Deathpoint, the bullet grazed Steelheart's cheek and caused him to bleed. During this time, David's father grabbed one of the dead guard's guns and prepared himself to kill Deathpoint, believing that Steelheart was a hero. Half the bank was killed when Steelheart came in and Deathpoint started to argue with him. ![]() When David was eight, he and his father were at a bank which was attacked by an Epic named Deathpoint who had the power to skeletonize people by pointing at them. Compared to other places in what was the United States, war torn, lawless and ravaged by warring Epics, Newcago is well run, with normal people generally having access to food, water, electricity, jobs, etc.ĭavid's father was murdered by Steelheart around the time of the collapse. Newcago is also shrouded in darkness by Steelheart's lieutenant, Nightwielder. Steelheart is apparently invulnerable, is able to fly, can hurl blasts of energy, and can turn inanimate matter to steel he has turned all of Chicago to steel for kilometers around and into the ground. Newcago is ruled by the extremely powerful Epic named Steelheart, who has created a society run by other powerful Epics, with normal people living with normal jobs. The story is told through the perspective of David, an orphaned teenager living in Newcago (formerly known as Chicago). These people came to be known to humanity as Epics. The United States, and other parts of the world, were changed forever when a glowing red light in the sky known as Calamity gave normal people superhuman powers and abilities. ![]()
