Though, Bob, I think even *that* opening could be salvaged into a decent semi-surreal comedy piece if you took out "before his life changed", slapped a "perfectly" in front of the "ordinary", turned "five foot twelve" into, say, "six foot four", and followed it immediately with the words "They fought crime."
Of course, you'd have to immediately break to an action sequence, preferably involving martial arts and/or gunfire, but you could do it.
Challenge fic, anyone?
