In a world overrun by superheroes with convoluted backstories and absurdly specific powers, Captain Obvious emerges as the hero nobody asked for—but somehow gets anyway. Armed with the power to state the blatantly apparent ("That's a fire!" "You seem angry!"), he stumbles through a series of painfully trivial crises, exposing the ridiculousness of modern superhero tropes, corporate culture, and internet outrage along the way. Plot Overview Issue #1: "Origin Story (Because You Need One)" After gaining his powers from a freak accident involving expired energy drinks and a PowerPoint presentation, Captain Obvious is recruited by The League of Redundant Heroes (featuring The Grammar Hammer, Deja Vu, and Sir Repeats-a-Lot). Their first mission? Stop The Subtlety, a villain who whispers mildly passive-aggressive comments at coffee shops. Issue #2: "The Dark Knightmare" Captain Obvious teams up with Broodingman, a Batman parody who spends 90% of his time monologuing about his tragic past and 10% actually fighting crime. Together, they take down The Hashtagger, a social media villain who weaponizes outrage over trivial matters ("You dared to call this 'sandwich art' instead of a 'deconstructed panini'?"). Issue #3: "Corporate Synergy Crisis" The League is acquired by a mega-corporation (OmniCorp™) and forced to rebrand. Captain Obvious now has to say, "This conflict is brought to you by NordVPN!" mid-battle. The villain? The Algorithm, a faceless entity that manipulates heroes into fighting meaningless battles for clicks. Issue #4: "The Final Battle (For Now)" In a climactic showdown, Captain Obvious defeats The Deep Meaning, a villain who insists everything must be a metaphor. His winning move? "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." The day is saved… until the post-credits tease The Sequel Bait. Art & Tone Art Style: Bright, exaggerated, and hyper-detailed in the style of classic superhero comics—except for Captain Obvious, who's often drawn in a simpler, almost stick-figure style. Satirical Targets: Superhero origin stories (Why must trauma = power?) Corporate branding in media ("This heroism is sponsored by…") Internet outrage culture ("You slightly mispronounced my favorite fictional character's name!") Overly grimdark reboots ("Broodingman's new suit is 90% more angst-stitching!") Why It Works Humor: Absurd yet relatable jabs at modern culture. Visual Gags: Thought bubbles that say things like "This text box is taking up too much space." Meta-Commentary: Characters argue about tropes mid-scene ("Why are we fighting in an abandoned warehouse again?").
