''[[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php Everyday Heroes]]'' is a webcomic written and drawn by Ed Gedeon. It centers on Mr. Mighty, a PunchClockHero, and his family. Other characters include his wife, Jane, who has a DarkAndTroubledPast; his BrattyTeenageDaughter Summer who is trying to deal with new-found superpowers, and a host of teammates with {{Punny Name}}s.

Originally a gag-a-day comic, more recent [[StoryArc Story Arcs]] have been more [[AnyoneCanDie dark]] and [[CerebusSyndrome dramatic]]. Originally drawn by Gedeon, it started with a MWF update schedule, but soon fell victim to ScheduleSlip, and only updated weekly. Eric Boismier took over art duties for a time so that the comic has returned to a Wednesday & Saturday schedule, but has since moved and left the strip.

** Justified in that one's a super and nigh-invulnerable, the other is just an ordinary human.
* HarmlessFreezing - Matt O'Morph falls victim to this.

* PettingZooPeople - Uma and her father, plus a couple of other characters stalking them.
* PowerIncontinence - Summer has to wear a special mask, 24/7, to keep her EyeBeams in check.

* WeHardlyKnewYe - Golden Jane
