After purchasing and altering a scuba diving suit and equipping himself with batons, he embarks on his first mission, only to end up stabbed and hit by a car. Following his recovery, he discovers an increased ability to endure pain and enhanced durability due to some of his bones being replaced with metal.
During his absence from school, rumors circulate that he is gay. This leads his longtime crush, Katie Deauxma, to try befriending him. Although Dave is unhappy about the misunderstanding, he sees it as a chance to grow closer to Katie.
Returning to his crime-fighting activities, Dave gains fame after saving a man from a gang attack. Adopting the name “Kick-Ass,” he creates a Myspace account to offer assistance to those in need. Responding to a plea from Katie, he confronts a drug dealer named Rasul, who has been bothering her. However, Kick-Ass is quickly overpowered by Rasul’s thugs. Just as they are about to kill him, two vigilantes, Hit-Girl and her father, Big Daddy, step in, effortlessly defeating the thugs and taking their money. Back home, Dave realizes he is out of his depth and considers quitting. However, Hit-Girl and Big Daddy visit him, encouraging him to continue. It is revealed that Big Daddy’s true identity is Damon Macready, a former honest cop.
