| | Everyman's real identity is a mail carrier called [[Avery Mann]]. When he turns into Everyman, he can touch a comic and receive the powers of that comic's superhero. In one issue, a bank was being robbed and, when Avery Man saw it, he hid and came back as Everyman. He then touched a comic of ''Iron Man'' and took his powers. The robbers shot him, but the bullets didn't hurt him. One robber surrendered easily, but the other tried to make a run for it, which caused Everyman to absorb the powers of ''Plastic Man'' to entrap him in a makeshift cage. | | Everyman's real identity is a mail carrier called [[Avery Mann]].

| − | Everyman's name isn't just a pun on his real name, and doesn't just represent his powers. His out of shape body, uninteresting job and lack of grace is meant to represent the average man. Moreso than other superheros who are almost always perfect with super model bodys and are often rich or have non menial jobs. Hollywood however didn't like the idea and strived to turn Homer into the more classically physically attractive type of hero so people would see the person they want to be instead of the people they are. | + | Everyman's name isn't just a pun on his real name, and doesn't just represent his powers.
