An ordinary comic book-obsessed teenager wonders why no one has ever become a real-life superhero. He decides to don a scuba suit and become one himself, calling himself Kick-Ass. Despite having no powers, his modest efforts to fight crime are caught on video and make him an internet sensation. He soon crosses paths with a father-daughter vigilante team who are training to take down a powerful crime lord.
