In the superhero world, you seem to have the rich geniuses who come up with expensive and cool gadgets (not to mention the free time required to develop those awesome skills) or you have folks who naturally develop their powers at a younger age and grow into them for better (Superman) or worse (um… almost any supervillain out there).
What if a down on their luck stiff happened upon their super-gifts but carried with them all that baggage of their leaner years?
Dark, gritty but pretty damn funny, I laughed out loud a couple of times when I saw this.
