Looking around the world for the stories of Wild Card victims. In Rio the world of Wild Cards is divided between the affluent tourism business, and the crime-filled slums. A young boy who survives by hand to mouth living in the edges of Rio’s trash dumps is totally changed by his affliction of the Wild Card virus. Not only does he have a Joker card appearance, a mishmash of physical features, but he is rejected by those unaffected by the Virus. He is forced to change his life, and living, moving to the slums of Rio’s Joker town, and having to run the gambit of the crime-infested town life. He finds power and gifts in his affliction that may help him if he is willing to compete on a global scale with his new abilities. This is an informed look into the world of the mosaic Wild Cards stories, and a look into the real life hazards of the poor and destitute.
