Last issue, Dave got his ass kicked and lies in the hospital. Coming to, he worries about what his father must think. Luckily when the ambulance arrived, they found him lying there naked. It seems Dave had the strength to remove his costume despite his broken back and legs.
They all figure he was mugged. He undergoes several surgeries, metal plates fitted inside his head, months of counseling, and weeks of rehabilitation. He now gets why there aren't real superheroes in the world.
At home, Dave's dad has set up his room with a dvd player and computer to do his schoolwork. He cries when he realizes the amount of money his dad had to spend over all this. Two months later he is able to go back to school. One night he gets angry and burns all his comics and swears he will never do it again.
As soon as he gets off his crutches, he's back in costume. Some local girls start accusing him of being a perverted flasher or rapist when they see him walking around in costume. They continue to chastise him as he tries walking away.
Dave gets knocked down by a man running from something. Some street guys yell at Dave to get out of there since this isn't any of his business and continue to beat the crap out of the guy. Knowing that this is why he is here, he smacks two of the gang dudes in the head with his batons. The third gets it right in the face. Dave yells at the crowd to call the police but they just stand and watch. One of the guys smashes Dave in the back with a garbage can.
More people arrive. Dave continues to put up a fight and is taking his share of punches too. The crowd just stares in disbelief. Soon they decide to leave figuring he's too crazy and the beating they're getting is not worth it.
The crowd goes nuts over his heroic act. Dave's teeth are smashed, his ribs are cracked and his eyes are practically swollen shut. The man he saved barely manages to get out a "Thank you" to him. During all this, a kid with a cell phone managed to video the whole thing and says it's going straight up on YouTube.
