“The Adventures of Unemployed Man” revolves around Bruce Paine, a playboy CEO who moonlights as a superhero called The Ultimatum, and prowls the streets preaching the choir of self-reliance and positive thinking.
The Ultimatum’s fortunes turn, however, when he takes on the oppressive forces, like a sweatshop, that help market his famous name, a move that leads his company PaineCorp’s’s board of directors, including The Man, Pink Slip and Down Sizer, to terminate his contract.
It’s only by working with other down and out superheroes—Wonder Mother, invisible immigrant worker Fantasma and hulking White Rage, among others—that The Ultimatum evolves into Unemployed Man, a champion for the masses struggling under evil corporate powers, something with which the American public, the creators say, can identify.
