When barista Barry finds himself in the wrong alley at the wrong time, he becomes the unwitting inheritor of a dying superhero's mediocre powers. Now equipped with the ability to hover four feet off the ground and occasionally turn invisible (but only to electronic devices, not living creatures), Barry must navigate his new role as Nobody - Gothamopolis's most unimpressive hero. Armed with a handbook only he can read, a pink shirt that won't stop being pink, and an increasingly questionable backward cap disguise, Barry finds himself caught between a corporate villain organization called The Middle Management and a community of overlooked Middle Tier heroes just trying to make a difference. As Barry reluctantly embraces his new double life, he discovers that sometimes being Nobody can make you the most important person in the room - especially when the world's fate hangs in the balance. A hilarious take on superhero tropes that celebrates the unsung middle ground between spectacle and obscurity.
