Buried in an Egyptian pyramid, Mason discovers the mysterious Orb of Ra, an ancient artefact which imbues him with the power to change any part of his body into any element he chooses. But there's a price to pay for power...as 'Metamorpho' will discover!Written by Dan Jurgens ("The Death of Superman") with art by Jesse Delperdang ("Batman"), this thrilling adventure is the definitive origin of a classic superhero!
