Martial arts enthusiast Tommy Zhou invented a means to create solid objects from light—and invented a superhero persona to promote it, The Weapon! He even concocted an origin story for himself based on ancient Chinese legends that his grandfather told him as a child. What Tommy never suspected, though, was that his grandfather's legends were true and now an all-too real millennia-old assassin cult, the Lin Kuie, (Forest Demons) is after him, convinced he's unlocked ancient mystical techniques of Order of Wu-Shi ("The Way of the Weapon") and they're sending waves of killers after him to steal it back.
