What is Ultimate Letdown?
Ultimate Letdown is a webcomic about a not-so-evil supervillain seeking to take over the world – from 9 to 5.
Who are the characters?
Jerry is the leading man. In a world where super-powered people roam the streets, Jerry desperately struggles to make a name for himself. Deeply envious of those with super-powers Jerry has built the greatest doomsday device the world has ever seen: the Doom Ball, a 40-ton leviathan of death. Jerry’s stated ambition is to take over the world; however, he often steps directly into the pratfall of petty squabbles with supers – both hero and villain.
Kevin is the right-hand man on the Doom Ball. He is logical, calculating, and cautious; everything that Jerry is not. Kevin is very level-headed, keeping his cool is almost any situation. Though Jerry almost always gets his way (it IS his Doom Ball after all) Kevin follows close behind to make sure Jerry doesn’t hurt himself during one of his “plans”.
Ben is a telekenetic with very limited control of his ability. While he seems to have a great deal of latent talent, he is rarely shown using it. Ben is a classic underachiever.
