Marvel has had the superhero front covered for a long time. Now, Netflix’s upcoming anime series prods the polar opposite side. Does possessing superpowers mean you have to be a superhero?

Luck’s never been on their side, but this crew of small-time crooks with super powers recruited by none other than Johnny Bolt are rolling the dice on one last heist. Their target: A ruthless super-powered crime boss…. What can go wrong?
