Psychoman

    (Revolutionary, 1992)
™ and ©1992 Infinite One, dba Revolutionary Comics

Psychoman was created by Todd Loren as a way of telling a super-hero story while avoiding the tired clichés of the genre. To wit, the title character doesn’t wear a spandex costume, has no secret identity, doesn’t battle super-villains, and acts exactly as stupid as the seventeen-year-old loser he is.

The aforementioned loser is Kevin Hardin, a typical antisocial teen who wakes up one day to discover that he has super strength and the ability to fly. Rather than using it to battle crime, he desperately tries to use his powers to get girls—but instead winds up weirding them out. Things only get worse when he nearly kills a beach bully who teased him. After a failed attempt to go back home to live with his estranged parents, Kevin does his first smart (if amoral) thing: he allies himself with a phony religion as a ploy to milk his “supernatural” abilities for all the money they’re worth.
