Selina the Moon Maiden

For over fifty years, Selina the Moon Maiden has fought supernatural menaces high over the streets of Empire City, acclaimed as one of the greatest champions the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, her never-ending battle finally comes to an end after a devastating attack by her most powerful enemies.

Mortally wounded during a series of co-ordinated strikes, Selina falls from the skies in a flaming heap, using the last of her strength to survive the fall. Sensing her thanatos drawing near, she realizes she needs a new host for her essence and - with no other alternative at hand - reached out for the first person who passed her way.

This apparent 'good samaritan' is a teenaged boy named William Carter, a high school-drop out from the Westside ghetto. With her dying breath, Selina takes William's wrist and transfers her divine essence into his body, telling him to call her name when the time comes. She then dies, leaving behind a badly charred corpse only vaguely resembling a human being.

With the forces of darkness closing in from all sides, William runs for his life, but is swiftly overtaken by a pack of ravenous hell hounds. In the extremity of his fear, he screams out The Name and is instantly transformed into a superhuman teenaged girl. Making short work of the canine demons, she flys off to safety, reveling in her newly acquired powers. Selina the Moon Maiden had arisen from the ashes, fully revived and - perhaps - even stronger than before.

Unfortunately, fifteen year old William Carter is no hero. Immature, petulant, and something of a coward, he is far more interested in settling old scores than defending the innocent. His first target is a neighborhood bully who humiliated him a few months before, followed by more or less anyone who has ever looked at him sideways. Re-enrolling at high school, he picks fights with students and teachers alike, covertly transforming into Selina to avenge even the slightest of insults.

Despite his spitefully narcissistic behavior, William has a sole redeeming quality - he actually tried to help Selina just before she died. It was this single spark of altruism that allowed her essence to pass into William's mortal form. He has the potential to become as great a champion as his predecessor - but will that be enough when Selina's murderous enemies come to his school, seeking to steal her power for themselves ... by destroying the human vessel it now inhabits?
