User:WhisperToMe/List of Kick-Ass characters

This is a list of characters in the comic book Kick-Ass and the film adaptation

Kick-Ass / Dave Lizewski: a sixteen-year-old high school student who decides to become a crime fighter (or, as he puts it, a "superhero") despite having no super-powers, minimal fighting ability, and very limited training. Kick-Ass' only unusual ability is a relatively high tolerance to physical blows, due to both damaged nerve endings and the metal plates which had been inserted in his head after his first, unsuccessful attempt at crime fighting. In the film adaptation, Kick-Ass is played by Aaron Johnson.
- Millar said that Kick-Ass "is probably as related to me as George Costanza was to Larry David, which is that all the worst aspects I remember from my memory I have taken and shoved into the story and then exaggerated them." Millar explained "the core is definitely there. Our backgrounds are really similar. The family setup is similar. All that is exactly the same. The only thing I didn't do was make the costume. I planned to. I went to karate and bodybuilding. My friend and I were absolutely going to do it. The one big difference between us is that Dave had the balls to put on the suit, and I didn't."^[1]
