What's killing me is the character designs. Not the superhero ones so much, you have that down. But the overall generic look of every single civilian, especially since the superheroes are only in one panel. Everyone else has this really simple, really generic t-shirt/jeans combo & it's monotonous. There's hardly even designs or logos or lettering on the clothes to get ideas across. Proper character design can give you the feel for a character with a glance. Instead of having to waste caption space telling us the character's a dumb prick, sell it to us with his look & his body language.
Speaking of which, definitely look into your posing. There's a point where you have the friends doing some sort of Eiffel Tower behind his back but their other arms are really awkwardly out to the side. Who would walk like that? Try to be more observant & think about what motions it would take for the body to do one of those actions, such as walk & high five behind someone. Think about where each limbs going to go & don't just jot it in on a whim.
And while you had an okay grasp on the placement of balloons, the amount of text seemed to bog me down a little. It seemed heavy & dense for what it is we're seeing.
Characterization wise, if this guy's so fed up with his friends making him feel like an asshole, why is he giving himself the opportunity to get shot down directly in front of them?

I liked this, I didn't think the plot was cliche. The super heroes are, but I think that's kind of the point. There is, however, already a Superman-esque hero already named Hyperion. In fact, there are four of them. I would suggest changing that. I would keep working on anatomy and perspective, I want to see where you take this character.

the plot is cliche, but I think I can overlook that due to your well placed dialogue. I don't think we've have someone writing straight in the superhero genre for a while. All I can say it work on getting more detail in and practice with anatomy, body language, and faces more. It's not that you're bad (not AT ALL!), but you are at that point where it's time to jump up a level.

I can't wait to see the baddie in action. One question: how does he fly at the speed of sound with out ripping his flesh off? he doesn't have invulnerability... is it a telekinetic bubble? You did say he had extreme telekinesis...

Wow - neat intro! Some of the body language seems a little stiff, but I enjoy your colors--very clean. I'm interested in seeing what happens next, and with whom (match-wise)! Welcome to Void!
