"Batman has Robin,
Wonder Woman has Wonder Girl, and Phantom Justice has Bright Boy, a.k.a.
Scott Hutchinson, an ordinary dude by day and a superfast, superstrong
sidekick by night, fighting loyally next to his hero...despite his
doubts about the social benefits of wearing yellow tights. After an
embarrassing incident involving said tights and the revelation that his
lifelong nemesis, supervillain sidekick Monkeywrench, might be one of
the most popular kids at his school, Scott begins to question his role.
How long can he stay on the sidelines and still hope to have a
life?"--Dust cover flap.
