Buddy Baker, a.k.a. the Man with Animal Powers, is a second-rate superhero, devoted father, and animal activist. There isn t much money in the hero game, and with a wife and kids to support, Buddy soon finds himself torn between trying to make a living through traditional super-heroics and getting more deeply involved in the questionably legal world of animal rights activism. But in today s world with real-life issues, who really needs Animal Man s protection? Is it humankind or the animals? Or is it Buddy himself?
