In 2008, an asteroid fragment crashes into Peckham, London, striking Bob, a mild-mannered and socially awkward postman. He suddenly gains abilities that echo Superman, and after an early attempt to figure things out on his own—culminating in a collision with The Shard—he surrenders to the authorities. He is taken in by the Ministry of Defence and, reborn as SuperBob, becomes the world’s first superhero, serving Britain as a civil servant under the government.
