Strip by: David Morgan-Mar, Andrew Coker

T-Rex: I have an idea for a new movie genre.
T-Rex: The INFRAHERO story!
T-Rex: our protagonist is less heroic than ordinary people. His infrapower is to make other people look good.
T-Rex: Not just good, but SUPER, in fact!
Utahraptor: Do ordinary people fly and stop trains with their bare hands?
T-Rex: Yes!
T-Rex: But the audience relates to to the only guy who can't!
T-Rex: He's the REAL hero.

The author writes:

Who does the audience relate to in overpowered fantastic super-inflated magical psychic action megahero movies??
