Shockwave (Infinity Comics)

Shockwave is one of the first comics within Infinity Comics along side Orion. It follows a young shock jock who, ironically, ends up becoming a superhero.

The Bomb
A young shock jock named Tobias Williams is doing his thing as Stones Radio. His time ends, and his boss, Ichabod J. Stones, pays him for the day. However, while walking home, Tobias is cornered by a group of people who hate him and the things he says. Knowing what's coming, Tobias instantly bolts, not caring about where he goes. However, he ends up running in to a building that has a group of people setting up a bomb. The people chasing after Tobias catch up to him, but instantly stop caring about Tobias when they see the bomb. The leader of the terrorists reveals he is a Russian who believes all of America needs to die. The Russian man, named Alexei, then sets off the bomb, realizing he doesn't have anywhere to run. The bomb goes off, and Tobias manages to survive the blast, waking up a few hours later. He looks around and sees that many buildings have been destroyed, many people have died, and that he is bleeding from his head. Tobias limps towards a police car, where it is revealed Alexei also survived but his legs have been blown off and he is in a coma. Tobias takes one more look around, where he sees police and regular people crying, a man with shrapnel fused in to him being taken away, and a now blind Russian being taken away by police. After seeing all this, Tobias passes out once again.

Notes/Trivia

 * GazzaB9 believes "The Bomb" to be his darkest story yet.
 * Originally, Tobias was going to be about sixteen, but he was aged up to nineteen, as in modern times it'd be a little strange for a teenager to be a superhero without any help from an older hero.
