Story
Mr. Granderson, the owner of Granderson Electronics Repair, is a simple businessman. He works hard and keeps to himself. But somehow, his building has become a magnet for superheroes, who feel the need to stand on his roof to cast an eye over their beloved city.
Having had enough, Mr. Granderson concocted a plan for revenge. In a form never seen before, Mr. Granderson then constructed a vast underground superhero elimination dungeon to trap all those who seek to trespass on his property. It was only a matter of time before Granderson would find success, having trapped popular "superhero" The Man in the Cape!
With a "take no prisoners" pledge, The Man in the Cape must now fight against the dungeon's horde of nanotech driven creatures and bring Mr. Granderson to justice!
