S12E7 - Nubia: Real One

For many kids today, no matter how kind and upbeat, no matter how good their friends or how supportive and loving their parents, the world presents innumerable hurdles and hostilities. But each and every one of them, and each and every one of us, have a spark of true power to help protect our communities. It's just for one teen, Nubia, that spark is a flame. But just like the rest of us, she will have to figure out for herself what it means to be a hero.
