The main character, Kick-Ass has retired from superhero and crime-fighting work. However, he quickly becomes bored of having a normal life and begins training with one of the main characters from the original game and movie, Hit Girl. Before Kick Ass can complete his training, however, antagonist from the previous video game, Chris D'Amico accidentally kills his mother. He blames Kick Ass for this, and vows to get his revenge.
