Initially beginning as a comic series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., Kick-Ass is a multimedia franchise that follows a teenager named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a self-appointed superhero by donning a costume and throwing himself into various criminal incidents to mixed results early on. He is typically joined by Hit-Girl, a young girl trained by her father to become a violent crime fighter with incredible combat skills.
