Project III: The Adventure/Platform

Title: Unlikely

Story: Ex-superhero, "Anonymous Man," is currently unemployed after suffering a career ending football injury. As a result, his resident city of Grimsmith is more open to crime.

Seizing the opportunity, mad scientist Frank Fiasco sets out to conquer the city. The only thing standing in Fiasco's way is...himself.

Fiasco may be clever, but he's accident prone. No matter how great his inventions are, they always fail. But...even with failure, his mission still succeeds.
  • For example, he tested a robot to destroy cars in a desert junkyard. The robot short-circuited and fell on a mine, thereby causing an explosion which blew the place to bits.
As Fiasco aims for city-wide domination, the town rallies in support of their ex-superhero. They come up with the idea of building a "Super Wheelchair" for Anonymous Man, and hold a fundraiser for the cause. The fundraiser is a success and the wheelchair gets constructed.

Despite the wheelchair, Anonymous Man remains skeptical about his ability to defend the city. The only "power" he has is his eyesight, which in reality is simply a pair of reading glasses. Although this is nowhere close to any superhuman ability, Anonymous Man has believed otherwise since he was seven.

Armed with normality and a wheelchair with gadgets galore, Anonymous Man sets out to stop Fiasco once and for all.
