From back in the day... the 1980s that is. A superhero parody comic strip.
Self-published, Joe gave me his last copy. I scanned it and will give the original to the Library of Congress. But you can read it here at the Internet Archive.
Who is Dunderman?
Rocketed to earth as a baby when his planet
explodes .. . no, that's not it. Deep in a cave
beneath stately Wayne manor... nope, not
that either. Bitten by a radioactive ...?

The truth is that Dunderman represents the
classic everyman, frustrated with the injustices
of life and feeling powerless to make a change.
His excuse, he tells himself, is that he is no one
special. When chance events give him tremendous
power, however, it becomes clear that he is as
ineffectual as ever. It is the desire and ability to do
great things, coupled with total ignorance as to
how to go about it, that is the basis for Dunderman.
