Mr Aeon is my twist on Science Heroes, I was watch MST3K some b sci fi movies and got me thinking about how wizbang Science heroes were being made fun off.
What here in North America and Europe how individualism has gave way to apathy and Objectivistim, Then I came across a book by Philp J Farmer about the life of Doc Savage treating if he was real. What if pulp and science heroes were real but a cabal from in 1950's America has smeared, ridiculed and have there tech stolen and reverse engineering to offer water down versions to the masses.
Doc Aeon is my version of Doc Savage, hense why main character named himself Mr Aeon.
Are hero is wantabe writer and adult nerd, wearing glasses and slightly overweight. That's before he starting taking the root that gives him longevity, perfect body and mind, given the fact before the he did have what he thought was a good mind a bibliophile and a lover of history.
He meets other underground Science Heroes who are underground fighting a sub rosa war against this cabal and the corps that they run.

sounds like this forum.
Also sounds like you just watched Kick Ass 1, 2, Mystery Men...
The problem with super heroes who can't regenerate is that they get hurt then die. Batman might survive one or two movies. Same with James Bond. Hence my notion that James Bond is a title 007 James Bond filled by various Agents over the years. Explains why other agents don't immediately recognise them. Good reason to have a mask and extra's. The Hulk and Super man don't have to worry about this, Logan the Wolverine, Sabertooth etc... Regenerate nicely. There is a reason modern Wrestling matches are fake, if they were real there wouldn't be rematches.
Neat idea, not to original, keep working on it you"ll come up with something. Maybe a Wushu Kung Fu hero in Chinese BC.

The main though od this series is I'm trying to explain what happened to these pulp and science heroes after WW2
I'm going to write this series of stories set using this idea, The first is about are grown up Nerd coming into contact with Doc Aeon Diary he found out that so called Doc Aeon stories were real,
