| abstract | - Ave Messer was a transwoman going about her business in her home town of Redding, California, when she came across an old man in a wheelchair stuck when trying to go across the train tracks. She helped him and he, in turn, transported her to another dimension where he revealed himself to be a pair of otherworldly beings, and they presented her with a ring that would grant her power. The beings had been searching the Earth for a long time for a proper person to bear the power, but their criteria was too strict, and their physical body in the world was dying, and with its death they would be cut off from entering that dimension. They had been trying to push things in a positive direction for when super powers inevitably arrived on the world, by finding someone who would be moral and just. But, realizing their time was almost at an end, they decided to offer the ring to the first person to help them when they were in need. With the ring, Ave is now Supertrans, a name chosen so she could hopefully be a positive role model to trans people. She is unsure, however, of her right to the ring, considering she didn't really do much to get it.
