Joe Average (Paperback)

Paperback. A mix of superhero action, political intrigue and satire about Ken Burton the world's most extraordinary ordinary man. He has all the powers you need to be a superhero, but lacks the physique we expect from a comic book hero made real. However, his appearance very quickly becomes the least of his problems. Ken quickly ends up to his neck in trouble, thanks to scheming politicians, feuding billionaires, and a scientist with a fetish for robotics and firepower. If that's not bad enough the government eventually partners with Hollywood to create a more photogenic superhero to replace him. It soon becomes obvious that giving superpowers to a drug-addled sociopath was a really huge mistake. Now it's up to Ken to save the day and show the world what it takes to be a real hero, even if it kills him. This item is printed on demand.
