>In the first issue, Siegel and Shuster mocked what they saw as the rush of Superman clones in a story called "Funman, Comicman and Laffman".[4] In the story, TV comedian Larry Davis dresses up in a costume to catch a fake criminal for a publicity stunt, but he catches a real criminal instead, and decides to become a superhero.

So it's orign mirrors the plot of the first issue a bit.

I like the idea, this character has potential. But it's probably difficult to write good stories consistently.
