After turning down her future prospects with her media rep, Carly Vanders is working tirelessly to promote her fashion brand and living up to her superheroic persona while suffering a daily barrage of media smear pieces. It's Kamen America versus Vermillion Masquerade in their final confrontation, culminating in the epic finale of the Stars and Strife Saga-- and Carly's story is just getting started! High School AU: The second web series, Kamen Academy, functions as this: it sets all the main characters as students in the same high school.

Alpha Bitch: Carly originally saw Sylvia as this, since Sylvia was wealthy, popular, and somewhat insensitive towards Carly herself.Charlotte “Carly” Vanders was an aspiring fashion designer whose fate was changed the day she was bombarded by cosmic debris!

While Wormwood isn't truly sadistic, she's certainly disrespectful and cruel to Carly and Vicki, belittling their interests and insisting they develop different ones. Now Carly must balance her original dream and her media image - alongside her embracing the responsibility of being a superheroine! From there she becomes the superheroine known as Kamen America and vows to protect innocent people from all that might threaten them, including a series of villains who also gained powers from the space debris. Join the super-charged patriotic paladin KAMEN AMERICA in her ongoing graphic novel series as this high-flying henshin heroine relies on her grit, self-determination, and loyal compatriots to fight the forces of evil!

Rebranding herself as a bona fide, super-charged henshin heroine, she humbly discovers that sometimes doing what’s right isn’t always what’s fashionable, as she fights the forces of evil as the Patriotic Paladin known as KAMEN AMERICA! It's one thing to summarize this breath of fresh air of a comic, and entirely another to read it for yourself. I'm not big on left politics being poorly added to stories but the opposite side doing the same is not at all what I want.

Instead, she declares that the hero's identity is instead uniquely Carly's on account of all the good deeds and heroic work Carly had done while using that name.
