Publisher's Synopsis
Rane Powers is not your ordinary young man. He'd been born in a tragic scenario. His parents rushed to the hospital when Rane's mother was in labour. The night in Titan City was terrible, a thunderstorm roared through the sky and the rain poured down harder than cats and dogs. Rane's mother went in labour, his father couldn't see... the rain made it too difficult to see... CRASH!!!
The car crashed into a telephone pole. Rane's father hadn't been wearing his seat belt and was thrown through the window... he did not survive. His mother had her seat belt on but with the circumstance of labour, things didn't look good. She lied on the ground; the rain flooded the streets, her baby boy was born... the telephone pole rolled off the car and hit the ground... electricity flowed through the rain water, hitting the new-born baby boy.
Thanks to a Good Samaritan the boy was found and rushed to the hospital... he would survive. The problem was the young boy had a boatload of problems, from not being able to walk, to the fact his eyes were entirely blue (yes meaning his sclera was blue). The boy struggled to walk when growing up but he found it easy to swim in a pool.
Water had always been a favourite of Rane while growing up. From loving to swim to when an infant he would not drink milk from his bottle, just water. As Rane grew older, he overcame his problems. His muscles got strong, almost overnight, he could walk and without a limp too. By age 12 Rane was as normal as any other 12-year-old boy... well except that his eyes remained all blue.
Rane became such a normal boy that the hospital sent him off into foster care. He lived with a few families before getting adopted by the Hill Family. Now the Hill family comprised of Jackie Hill and Brian Hill. To be perfectly frank, the idea to adopt had been solely Jackie's as Brian hated kids and wanted nothing to do with one... including Rane.
Young Rane had a tough time at home with Brian and at school with a trio of bullies. They all put him down and even physically harmed him. But through this punishment Rane found his body turning into water... protecting himself from the hits. Eventually his entire body turned into water, and in this form Rane was untouchable.
He could form into many versions of water, from a puddle, a handmade of water, to water vapour. Yes he could do it all, he even picked a name for himself... The Rainman!
Titan Techs is the leading technical company in the city, and the man who runs it, Gary Stern, is an evil man. He wants to take over the city and eventually the world! He and his team ended up building a state-of-the art killing machine dubbed the 'Mr. Titan Automaton'. The machine is 10 feet tall with a hard exterior body, the latest and greatest smart computer running inside... oh did I mention liquid mental arms that change into weapons.
The newest superhero, The Rainman has to put his powers to the test while facing this incredible cyborg. They battled over and over as Titan City became a mess. Before the city gets completely destroyed, The Rainman found a way to destroy the mighty machine and beat him at his own game... on the computer. He ended the nightmare that plagued the city and let them know a hero was born.
