Hi I'm designing a teen superhero for a novel. He's about 17 years old and still learning to use his powers (He's failing horribly though) =D
I need some unique ideas for the day-to-day setting of his normal life. I.e. what he does when he's not kicking villain butt, saving his girlfriend for the 9000th time or training for missions.

Any suggestions are welcomed (bonus points if you can make me laugh)

NOTE: I'd like to avoid the following cliched settings like the plague!
1. He is a loner (Batman)
2. Or rich (Green Arrow)
3. Goes to school/college while secretly saving the world
4. He works at some boring place where he is a loser waiting for the next hero gig
5. He lives in a facility for people with powers (X-men)
6. Any combination of the above

a policeman as useless as hell in day-today life and goes into hiding when a severe problem occurs (you know where he goes)
It is still secret how he passed his examination to become a Policeman. Only some (probably one) of the higher-ups knows about his true identity and orders him to act like that. There will be a major secret behind this as well. The main villain then traps him into a criminal matter where he had to prove his innocence. Also the hero gets into a different murder matter. The murder of the only person who knows about hero's identity.
How the hero gonna act from here on?
Now you got too many things to create from this.
Good Luck :bye:

This will probably come across as harsh, but so be it. If you can't think of it yourself and need help on the internet, stop. It's not your idea anymore. You, as a writer, should be able to create this yourself based upon everything you have experienced/know/etc... in your life.
