Plot[]
Marcus was a twelve year-old son of a wealthy software designer. When his dad is mysteriously killed, he receives his father's will, a video giving him instructions to a secret room hidden inside his father's office, which contains a high-tech belt powered by the Overlord Operating System. This belt gives him the ability to receive powers based on the logo of whatever shirt he wears. Being an avid comic book reader, he decides to use this belt to fight to rising crime wave of the city, and fashions a costume.
After fighting through several super-powered villains, Shirtman finally meets up with Olivus Mynd, his father's business partner in developing the Overlord Operating System, who killed his father in revenge for stealing his idea. He fights and ultimately defeats him, but realizes there's still more to be dealt with. Mynd has turned the OOS rogue, and it is being centered around his AI butler, who has taken control of all devices equipped with the OSS, forming a giant, humanoid mass of technology. Shirtman ultimately defeats this and returns home to find that a new villain has arisen, called the Animator.
