Darkwing's revisited by Comet Guy, a hero from the planet Mertz, who brings him back to perform a super-urgent mission. Turns out the only person on the planet with no powers has disappeared, and with no-one to rescue all the heroes on Mertz have nothing to justify their existences, so they enlist Darkwing as their new designated "rescuee".

* UnSorcerer: What made Ordinary Guy so special is that he was [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy the only person on the planet Mertz that wasn't a superhero]] or had any powers. This is [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] in that since the planet's population was made exclusively of superheroes, Ordinary Guy was the only civilian they could exercise their heroics on. Since the society he lived in basically defined itself by labeling him as a helpless bystander that "needed rescuing", it eventually drove him to becoming a GadgeteerGenius supervillain.
