The Helm #1
On the same day that epic loser Mathew Blurdy's girlfriend breaks up with him and he is fired from his job at the video store, he encounters a magic, talking helmet at a garage sale which proclaims him "The Valhalladrim," the chosen warrior of the light. That is, until Matt touches the Helm and it suddenly realizes how unworthy he is. Then it changes its tune. But Matt's not willing to let his shot at superherodom go so easily. He steals the Helm, thus becoming the first superhero whose magical superpower hates his guts.
