Story: | 
"Kick-Ass" tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book 
fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. 
As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name - Kick-Ass - assembles a suit and 
mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his 
way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.
  
His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted 
violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 
11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy 
(Nicolas Cage).
