Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Absolution is a superhero comic book for mature audiences by Christos Gage (Avengers Academy) and Roberto Viacava, and published by Avatar Press. The first six-issue volume was launched in the summer of 2009, with a follow-up five-issue series, Rubicon, that began in 2013. Gage has written that the book is a superheroic take on anecdotes he's heard from friends who are or were police officers. (Specifically, the idea came from the fact that there are still parts of the United States where someone who's accused of murder may be able to claim his victim "needed killin'" as a legally viable defense.)John Dusk is one of several superhuman "enhanciles" who work for the police department as a sort of high-end SWAT team. Unlike his co-workers, however, John has no outlet away from the job and he begins to suffer from PTSD and insomnia. Soon he begins using his powers to commit nearly untraceable murders, targeting criminals who he knows he could never legally catch, or who will evade prosecution. This forces him to lie both to his superiors on the police force and to his girlfriend, Karen, a homicide detective who's trying to solve the murders he's committing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Absolution: Rubicon, set shortly after Dusk's dismissal from the force, follows the fallout from his campaign and Dusk's descent into the life of a vigilante.This was followed by Absolution: Happy Kitty featuring the origin of sociopathic killer Happy Kitty. | |

Adaptive Ability: Polymath has the ability to physically adapt to whatever harm he comes in contact with. This has the side effect of granting him numerous abilities thanks to the fights he's been in over the years with the sanctioned enhanciles in addition to various treatments of toxins, electricity, and fire that he put himself through. He no longer needed to breathe after being suffocated into a comatose state in his last battle with John. | |

Anti-Hero: John Dusk begins the series as a decorated police officer in the "enhancile unit," but the things he's seen push him over the edge into vigilantism and his own brand of serial murder. By the end of the first series, it's made clear that everyone who is not actually paid to enforce local law is on his side; by the end of the second, he's basically a crime lord. | |
