Eddie Edison. Pizza delivery boy by day, Superior Boy, super-hero sidekick, by night. He might have chosen a better super-hero to follow, though, as Mr. Excellent is just as likely to take out an entire city block in a blaze of glory as he is to actually prevent a crime. Looking for a decent paycheck instead of piles of pending lawsuits, Eddie sets up a few job interviews with a local who’s-who of super-heroes. Suddenly, they’re all announcing new sidekicks. What they don’t realize is that they’re all announcing the same sidekick.

This shouldn’t be too hard. Eddie just needs to juggle the demands of sidekick-ing for four super-heroes while delivering Torpedo pizzas in thirty minutes or less. Not to mention find some time to continue his affair with Mrs. Excellent. Yeah, he might have gotten himself in a bit of trouble there.
