Based on characters from DC Comics, POWERLESS is a one-hour series that focuses on Emily Locke, who begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss Van Wayne and her officemates -- Teddy, Jackie, and Ron -- so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don't need superpowers to be a hero. With a new product idea greenlit, Emily tries to get her team inspired but can't seem to break through their obsession with Fantasy Super Hero League.
