"Ace Lightning" is a prosocial series promoting the idea that there is a little hero in each of us. It examines the various qualities that 8-11 year olds need to think about and develop in order to make such "heroism" emerge. Not everyone can save the world, and none of us are superheroes, but each of us can be a hero if we do the right thing--whether it's befriending an unpopular classmate, telling the truth (even if it gets us into trouble), accepting responsibilities (even when they demand sacrifices), and standing up for what we know is right. Mark Hollander, a 13-year-old human, new to his town, his school, and the idea of being a hero, is about to learn some of these lessons. Mark's gradual discovery that he possesses most of the qualities necessary to be a hero, if only he will work hard, trust in his beliefs and abilities, do the right thing, and fear not, combines with Ace Lightning's growing understanding of human feelings, emotions, and values, to provide positive social models for 8-11 year old viewers. As our two protagonists--one a digital superhero and the other, an average human boy who is a hero in the making--battle Lord Fear and the forces of evil, they display the kinds of behaviors, beliefs, and values that most parents would like to see their own children adopt. Each episode faces Mark with moral and ethical decisions of the kind that are required not only in a confrontation with the forces of evil, but also in dealing with the day-to-day events of normal lives. Throughout the course of the series, such prosocial issues as friendship, compassion, ingenuity, humor, honesty, integrity, perseverance, duty, honor, truthfulness, and respect for others are explored.
