"Super Zero", Way to Die #106, is the second death to be featured in "Wild Wild Death", which aired on November 21, 2011.
Plot[]
Vigil Andy always being tired of petty crimes being committed every day, so he decides to become a superhero. Look out bad guys, here comes Red Justice.
Andy harasses these so-called criminals for jaywalking, finding stuff that belongs in the trash, and other minor crimes like that. Then, Andy finds a group of people smoking marijuana on the rooftop of a warehouse. He shocks one of the smokers with a cattle prod, but then retreats when the others advance toward him as he drops his cattle prod onto the roof. Andy then trips on his cape and, instead of flying, he falls over the edge, sustaining fatal skull and chest fractures when he hits the ground.
