Superheroes stories seem to have explored every possible angle and with this comes along a Chinese anime, To Be Hero X, that’s about to flip the genre on its head. It is the latest addition to the ever-expanding universe of superpowered protagonists, but this one comes with a twist so wild, that it’s practically begging for a Deadpool quip.

Imagine a universe where the next great hero could be the guy sitting next to you on the bus, or even could be anywhere near you. That’s right, folks. This brings us into a reality where the ordinary becomes extraordinary in the most unexpected places. With its outlandish premise and a protagonist sporting the seemingly mandatory white hair of overpowered anime characters, it is going to deliver a superhero story that’s as hilarious as it is action-packed.
