"With great powerchair comes great responsibility... All too often, superhero media depicts disbility as something to overcome on the journey to becoming a hero, or as a sign of villainy. It's time to make heroism accessible to everyone. In these 15 stories, you'll meet winged wheelchair users, supernatural spoonies, guardians with glaucoma, and many more. These disabled superheroes fight villains as well as outdated ableist stereotypes, and show that anyone can be mighty."--Publisher.
