Everything You Need to Know About Primer:
- FACT #1:
-
Primer is a teenage superhero whose secret identity is Ashley Rayburn. Ashley’s dad is in prison for a lot of crimes, and when Ashley was younger he convinced her to help him with a very serious crime.
Ashley regrets what she did, even though it was NOT her fault, and now she wants to make up for it as Primer!
- FACT #2:
-
Primer gets her name from the body paints she wears, because the word “primer” is a paint term. (It also just sounds really cool!)
She has thirty-three different body paints, and each one gives her a different superpower. Ten of those powers are: flight, strength, speed, invisibility, teleportation, telekinesis, self-duplication, shooting ice, shooting fire, and morphing herself to look like anyone she wants. And there are twenty-three MORE powers on top of that!
- FACT #3:
-
Ashley is a fantastic artist and her favorite medium is paint, so when she puts on her paints to become Primer, she always uses a cool new design — she never looks the same way twice!
Oh, but she can only use THREE paints at a time. She can’t use any more than that for a very good reason…
- FACT #4:
-
Ashley is a foster child who just wants to find a loving family, but that’s hard to do because she’s so mischievous! And when she does find a good family to live with, it’s ALSO when she finds the paints that make her Primer.
