Typical semi-obscure revelation as to the writer - Steve Skeates confessed just over a decade ago.
Generic Comic Book (GCB) starred a man. Our hero is an average joe working in a boring office job who one day has a strange encounter with radiation, as had so many before him...
Our hero tries to go about his normal daily life...
...and soon...
That night, he heads out on his first patrol...
His new powers allow him to easily deal with the thugs on the street, but then - his first supervillain shows up...
Left bruised and battered by the encounter, he tries to shake it off and lose himself in his daily routine...
...later, on his way home for the day..
...and that night, he returns to action and finds the thugs he'd beaten previously now serving the villain who took him down...
And so the generic origin of our generic hero comes to a generic end.
