Bookroo's summary

Meet Awesome Man, a superhero who battles villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball with his positronic rays and flying skills. But beneath his heroic exterior lies a secret that could change everything. As he navigates his extraordinary world, Awesome Man must confront his hidden truth. What could it be? Dive into this vibrant tale that captures the imagination of young superhero fans and discover the mystery behind the mask. Will Awesome Man's secret be his greatest strength or his ultimate challenge?

From the publisher

Awesome Man can shoot positronic rays out of his eyeballs, fly as straight as an arrow, and hug mutant Jell-O! Even villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball are no match for this caped crusader. But Awesome Man also has a secret. . . . Can you guess what it is? The first picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon perfectly captures the fantasy life of young superhero fans.
