Why Not Me? (Omega Kid)

Why Not Me? is the Beginning Arc premiere of Omega Kid and is the first chapter overall.
==Synopsis==
Thomas Lanks is bored in another normal day situation. He's 15-years-old, living with his guardian and older sister Jenna Lanks, after their parents died in a car accident which Thomas was in when he was only four. A massive comic and superhero fan, Thomas watches the amateur news video of the real-life superhero Kick-Ass saving a man from three thugs. Also, he hears about more superheroes showing up after the disappearance of Red Mist, and the supposed retirement of Kick-Ass.
While hanging out with his best friends, Alex and Stephen Columbus in their usual hang out, a comic book shop that Jenna works at, Comic-City, Thomas ponders on why no one has tried being a superhero in England. Alex and Stephen argue with him, telling him it's impossible and someone would die if they tried it. Not sure whether to believe them, Thomas wonders whether other real-life superheroes have thought the same thing, and decides that if they can do it...why not me?
He then spends weeks training and studying martial arts secretly and reading up on other superhero comics to get inspiration. He is interupted by Jenna, telling him to get ready for school. Before leaving, he wishes her luck for a job application she is applying for. Because of her poor grades in school, she's found it hard to find a decent job. As Thomas walks to school, he thinks that he might even do better than other real-life superheroes, and become the greatest. He's just missing two things though, a costume and a name.
