4. Powers and Abilities Conclusion

Writer: Will Pfeifer
Artist: Kano

And this concludes the story of Jerry Feldon.

After he causes Molly’s critical injuries and burns down his workplace, Jerry flees. He calls the suicide hotline that’s been narrating the entire arc. The operator begs him to reconsider killing himself, but his mind is made up, and he changes again. Jerry then flies into low earth orbit, and changes back. He begins falling to earth, dropping the H dial as he does so.

Jerry blacks out and wakes up in the hospital, having apparently been saved by Superman. Molly's in the ICU, and Jerry manages to talk the dial’s previous owner out of committing suicide after he informs her that the dial is gone. Some time later, Jerry finds his true calling: working as a suicide hotline operator.

All in all, this was a really wonderful little story to introduce the book. Jerry is kind of a blank-slate protagonist, but he definitely has a character arc, and it’s a really nice one. It’s also here that we realize that Jerry isn’t what H-E-R-O is about. No, this comic actually follows the H Dial. And the H Dial is about to have a new owner.
