Plot

Steve Nichols is a struggling actor in New York City who takes the job posing as comic-book hero Captain Avenger at comics stores and conventions. He finds his life unexpectedly complicated when he stops a robbery while wearing the costume of Captain Avenger. The costume is for a film he is hired to promote, but Nichols decides to continue being a superhero and discovers that the superhero life is more complex than he initially thought.

Nichols is hired by the mayor's staff, who hope that Captain Avenger's tie-in will help the mayor win an upcoming election. The plan comes a cropper, and Captain Avenger finds himself on the outs with the public. Prodded by his girlfriend Jolene Walsh to be himself and not rely on a costume and mask to gain adulation, Nichols becomes a bonafide hero when he rescues several citizens from a fire at an apartment building.
