Meet… THE GRAND. A whole new generation of powers that have gathered together specifically to reject the status quo of generations before them. After decades of Powers that abused their powers and turned on each other these new emissaries see themselves above what’s gone before them.

How do they fit into the new status quo of the Christian Walker Powers Act? If the cops have to play by new rules and the Powers are playing by new rules… will these new rules conflict or celebrate each other?
