Paul Jenkins, who saw one of his creations, The Sentry, break out in Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* earlier this year, is now developing an adult animated comedy based on his superhero satire comic SideKicks.

The comic, which ran for five issues between 2006 and 2007, takes place in Metroville, a city in which superheroes are as common as their underpaid and underappreciated sidekicks.

The story centers on Eddie Edison, a pizza delivery boy by day, sidekick by night. Per the logline: “Tired of living paycheck to paycheck while shouldering the burden of saving lives, Eddie takes on a series of sidekick gigs for different heroes across the city’s increasingly absurd roster of vigilantes. But when a new threat emerges in the form of the maniacal Doctor Scurrilous, Eddie must juggle multiple alter-egos, morally questionable employers, and his dwindling social life — all while trying to save Metroville from destruction.”

“SideKicks is the comic book world turned on its head,” Jenkins said in a statement, via THR. “It’s about what happens behind the masks, in the alleyways between battles, where the rent’s due, your costume still smells like tacos, and you’re pretty sure your superhero boss just Venmo-ed you exposure. It’s fast, funny, heartfelt, and irreverent — everything I love about adult animation.”

Solipsist Films is developing the project with Jenkins, who will write the pilot and executive produce with Solipsist’s Stephen L’Heureux, best known for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
