Generic Man was an enemy of the Heckler.
History
An accountant working for Boss Glitter, Doe was so aggressively average and normal that he somehow became the living embodiment of generic.
Doe is troubled by the emergence of the extremely unique and individualistic Heckler, as he believes that uniqueness and individuality is the cause of all human suffering. He becomes determined to turn all of Delta City as generic as he is. He immerses himself in the city reservoir, causing those who come in contact with the tainted water to become generic. He is attacked by henchmen of Boss Glitter, as well as Minx and the Heckler. He manages to escape the initial confrontation when Minx is distracted by his sidekick Buckshot and the henchmen are distracted by Heckler. He is shot and killed by Minx, but almost immediately reincarnated.
