"SOMEWHERE IN THE bustling metropolis of St. Louis, a mother and father watch in awe as their young son shows signs of ... superpowers! Here is Jeremiyah Love, age 4, scaling walls and swinging from the rooftops. Here he is, an eighth grader, leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Then a teenager in full command of his powers, torpedoing around enemies and through brick walls. Yet, all around him, dark forces gather."
"As the story goes, Love entered the opening game of the season against powerhouse East St. Louis still bothered by nagging injuries from the track season, and his coach, Scott Pingel, had no plans to let him play. But the starter and the backup went down, so in Love went, and on his first touch, he ran a counter to the right side and sprinted 80 yards to the end zone."
Jeremiyah Love grew up in St. Louis and displayed extraordinary athleticism from age 4, scaling walls and swinging from rooftops. He dunked a basketball in eighth grade and emerged as one of the nation's top recruits by his junior year at Christian Brothers College High School. Love and his father, Jason, spent four years creating a comic-book project built around an origin story that parallels his real-life rise. Coming off nagging track injuries, Love entered an opener against East St. Louis when starters were hurt, took his first touch 80 yards for a touchdown, and accelerated recruiting momentum. He was introverted and retreated into comics, graphic novels and anime.
