Art vs. Science is the first game in the original franchise by Zodiac Productions of the same name.

Story[]

The game starts with Blake Canvas on a rooftop, listening to a police radio, looking for some crime to take care of. After taking care of a simple robbery (which serves as the tutorial mission) and a few other crimes, he hears talk of a bank robbery, and when he goes to investigate, he finds supervillain Magnotron, and they battle. Magnotron is defeated and is greatly annoyed by Blake's cocky attitude, and vows vengeance. As Blake continues to avoid the authorities and take down criminals and supervillains alike, Magnotron keeps showing up, stronger each time, to fight Blake. In the end, Blake must face Magnotron in the city's Power Center to stop him from destroying the city.
