 Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (Webcomic)
comment
Satan city, the home of Earth's legendary hero Mister Satan, like every respectable fictional metropolis, has his own local superhero: The Great Saiyaman! (No, really!)Vanquisher of all evil, role model to all children and a profitable tourist attraction, he will always save the day when the time needs him! But wait... he appears different. None of his cheesy attitude appears when he goes to rescue a hostage, and in fact, is more serious, and taller!"Who wants to be a Super hero? Piccolo stands in for Gohan as Great Saiyaman so he can take a test.", shortened to just "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" is a short Dragon Ball Z fan comic done by Deviantart user Michsi where, well, Piccolo takes on the role as The Great Saiyaman for a day so Gohan can focus on his studies. It takes place after the Majin Buu saga, but before the events of Dragon Ball Super.Despite the name, it has nothing to do with the reality show hosted by Stan Lee.

Genre Savvy: Goku is a downplayed example. Since Gohan used to study too much when he was a kid, he used to give Gohan some comics when Chi-Chi was away in order for him to have some fun. In turn, he reads some of these comics in order to help Piccolo and Vegeta.

Dastardly Whiplash: In order to put on a good show to help the Great Saiyaman's reputation, Goku asks Goten and Trunks for help, and they decided to play the role of an evil villain with a fake moustache, a hat with a mean face and a cape. Gotenks loses the moustache, though. For added bonus, the Super Kamikaze ghosts also wear the moustaches and hats when Gotenks summons them. Goku wears the moustache after the fight is done.

Butt-Monkey: Piccolo has to take on the role as the Great Saiyaman, but by contrast, Vegeta is the one who suffers the most during the comic by becoming the Great Saiyawoman substitute, even turning into a Damsel in Distress by Gotenks as part of his show.

comment
Godzilla Threshold: It's noted repeatedly that Piccolo considers Gotenks this because he's far more irresponsible than his constituent parts, and doesn't know when enough is enough - so when Goku goes to get his help without Piccolo's knowledge, Piccolo freaks out and starts treating situation with suitable kid gloves. At first, it seems he was wrong as Gotenks plays the part of fake villain perfectly, taking a perfect dive when needed, but then Vegeta pisses Gotenks off...

The Comically Serious: Piccolo as the Great Saiyaman lacks any of the cheesy elements of Gohan and looks absolutely hilarious while trying to pass on as him. Likewise, Vegeta as the Great Saiyawoman. Nuff said.

Throwing the Fight: Gotenks was supposed to do this, pretending to be a villain and letting Saiyaman defeat him, but then Vegeta - not knowing what was going on, and with his pride wounded - attacks Gotenks for real, leading him to instead deliver them a No Holds Barred Beat Down.

comment
Anti-Hero Substitute Played for Laughs. Piccolo is nothing like Gohan at being a superhero, and has a darker version of the Great Saiyaman costume, and the inhabitants (The same people who fall for Mr. Satan's lies, by the way) start to notice this. At the end, though, he became more popular than Gohan ever was.

Bullet Catch: After Piccolo allows a criminal to shoot him, letting the bullets simply bounce off of him. Goku tells everyone to stop what they're doing. Insisting that the "proper" way for a superhero to handle such a situation, is to catch the bullets instead. While confused and annoyed, Piccolo concedes to Goku's advice.
