What Mystery Men is

Somewhere in Champion City, average men discover heroism is better on resumes than in reality. A third-string team of superheroes with one-trick powers and zero discipline scrambles to rescue the town’s washed-up Captain Amazing from a villain who wants to weaponize plastic surgery. The result is a team so underpowered they need a real estate agent to explain the building codes.
