American Faith: Power of the Audience

What is the true nature of superpowers? Some say genetics. Others, evolution. A few claim divine blessing. But for Lu Weike, the answer is simple: belief. If enough people believe in his abilities, even lies become reality. With a steady influx of belief points, he unlocks telekinesis, electromagnetic manipulation, teleportation, mind reading, and beast transformation. It is 1993, and America has just officially acknowledged the existence of mutants. The nation is swept up in superhero films, urban legends, and a surge of occult fascination. From the gritty slums of Detroit, a dangerously cunning fraud emerges—one who will first fool a dog, then a single person, then a crowd, and ultimately, the entire world.
