!Hero: The Rock Opera (story)

''Imagine a world that has never known the influence of a Messiah. A world in which Jesus has never lived. Modern culture exemplifies the ascendancy of man. World government is centralized under The International Confederation of Nations, I.C.O.N. New York City is part of a police state, where ethnic gangs rule the streets and I.C.O.N. controls the gangs.''

Into this world is born a hero.
