Meanwhile quite a ways away from Hannah and her friends, young scientist and superpower-obsessed Mary Miller has passed out with a needle in her arm, a needle that supposedly contains a drug that will make her superhuman, a drug that she had developed all by herself. But before Mary Miller can wake up and see if she either has superpowers or cancer, the twenty year-old genius is blessed with a reoccurring dream she has enjoyed for years, a dream that commonly only manifests in bits and pieces, but now is somehow more vivid than ever.
In her dream, Mary is verbally abused at school by her classmates before she is physically abused by a stray football which smashes her nose into one of her favorite comic books. Bloody and hurt, Mary is sick and tried of everyone at school teasing her, mocking her, and now abusing her simply because she loves science and comics. Yet in that same moment of fury, Mary somehow absorbs the contents of the comic before her, instantly blessed with the telekinetic, pyrokinetic, and telepathic powers of The Red Witch. With vengeance on her mind, Mary unleashes her powers on her school, and then the police, and then anyone who opposes her. As minutes go by, Mary gains even more powers, more abilities, and soon can simply become any superhero, or supervillain, she wants. How far will Mary's revenge-fueled, superpowered rampage go? How powerful will Mary be by the end of the day?
