Choujin Locke ("Locke the Superman") is one of the truly classic manga. Though its artwork and style do not necessarily stand the test of time, its story and focus - on power, on politics, on society - are timeless.

An immensely powerful psychic, Locke is practically ageless despite having the appearance of a young teenage boy. He wishes to live in peace, but periodically things occur that threaten humanity or psychics as a whole, and he is forced to intervene.

Nearly thirty years before Apple, another manga praised as "unique" for blending social commentary and psychic powers, Locke was asking hard questions about the use of power, one's proper place in society, and ultimately what it means to be human.
