Summary
Mech Man Blue was a hero. He was helping people, doing his best to be good and do good. But being 'good' has a line that Robert crosses. Abandoned by the city and the people he protected, Robert ends up in the same prison as his father's murderer.
The man who leaves the system is not the same one who entered.
Upon release, he no longer believes in clean lines between good and evil, thought of redemption long abandoned. He has to navigate a complicated relationship with Elliot Connors, and infiltrate SDN to retrieve the data that had been stolen. His growing affections for the team of misfits, especially one of them, bring complications to the calculations.

Summary
Every power has a price. Something that would make you laugh at the irony if it wasn't so damn infuriating. A man with the strength of ten at the height of half of one. A woman with asthma who needs to hold her breath to stay invisible. A walking fireball who can lose his eyebrows to a rogue flame.
So of course when Robert realized he wasn't powerless, he could only laugh at the irony.
An immortal man who wishes he was dead really was the icing on the cake.
