Somewhat embarrassed, Kyle had to look up the word, but in the end he had to agree. Disillusionment was such an unfortunate state of mind for the world’s first Aboriginal superhero.
As a child, he had devoured comic books and cartoons about characters that through any varied numb...er of experiences had ended up like him. In his teenage years, the television shows had promised a life of adventure and heroism.
