The pitch, in one panel

Kade Mercer was a night-shift metallurgist at the Vanta Foundry when its secret reactor — the Aurum Core — melted down. The molten alloy didn’t kill him. It chose him, bonding to the prototype exosuit he was testing and forging the first black-and-gold armor. Now he walks the rooftops of Aurum City as the Golden Black hero: the foundryman’s answer to the magnates who built their towers on his labor.

“Gold doesn't make the hero. The hero makes the gold worth something.”
