A junior high-aged boy named Norman Stone is so-called because he is ordinary. One day, after lightning strikes the home of his family, a malfunction of a microwave fires off nukes and gives his family super powers, and they gain superhero alter-egos, even the pet dog. Since he didn't receive any, Norman remains the same. He tries his best to go about his daily school and social life without his family causing any disruptions that could inconvenience him.
