Since the debut in theatres of "The Incredibles" there has been much talk of superpowers, and what superpowers a given individual might want. i've heard Lucky's ever-present doppelganger power, the more traditional flying (with many stipulations) from Andy, Carolyn i'm sure wouldn't mind psychic powers (who would?), and of course, there's Liesel's "Miss Direction," the misdirecting sidekick, but i have a power that, by definition, tops all of these.
My superpower of choice is to be supernaturally enhanced such that i am just marginally capable of handling any situation i find myself in. A bully running rampant at school? That's okay, because i'm just barely faster, stronger and smarter than he is! A rolled over car threatens to crush my beautiful Sierra? Not to fear, beloved, i'm just strong enough to lift it! Water-rights litigations brought against me in state court? i'm barely versed enough in environmental law to defend myself.
Yep, take that, Marvel.
My favorite part of this power is that most DC superheroes have it by default.
The problem is, i'm not sure what my Superhero identity would be, nor do i even know where to start with my costume. Any suggestions?

Call yourself betterman and don't worry about the costume since whatever you wear will look marginally better than everybody else's clothes

While the name Betterman is a good one, and it means that i could have the super-weakness of "She lies and says she's in love with [me]," i don't want to horn in on Brian's jokes, and i like the name "Marginal Man" even better. i'll take the suggestion on the clothes though.

But what about the alternate you from Bizarro world? What if he attacks? How will you ever defeat him if he's marginally better than you? You two would destroy the world in an epic battle that just got better and better as you went on.
I would say flannel, and jeans. Those be real super hero clothes.
