I thought it was Invincible at first as well, but I distinctly remember the protagonist of the comic I read was a Badass Normal and after checking, Invincible isn't.

This one might be it: G-Man
Thanks jormis, it turns out it was Abyss. Sorry for taking this long to notice, I kinda gave up on this since it's been nearly a year and haven't really been keeping up with this YKTS.

I remember reading a comic book ages ago about a teenager who loved super hero comics and wanted to be a superhero. He was also being trained by and provided for by various people hired by his rich and eccentric father (or maybe grandfather? uncle?) that he had never met in person. He assumed his father was a superhero and was grooming him to be his replacement but when he finally met his father it turns out his father was a superVILLAIN who was grooming him to be his replacement. The protagonist ultimately chose to take up his father's mantle but as a hero. I remember that his costume had a cape and one of those masks that armors the eyes and chin and in the first issue he was reading a comic and commented that it sucked because it was a story arc about clones (an obvious jab at Spiderman's Clone Saga) but he was reading it anyway because he wanted to stay in the loop on the series continuity. Anyone know about this? I think it was an Image comic.
