The giant Mr. Horrible is a one-man crime wave,

To help out, Herbie enrolls in a superhero school to become a licensed costume hero.
Herbie did not graduate, and when his father threatened to become a costume hero,
Herbie created the Fat Fury.
Not a licensed, graduate hero, but he'd do.
He wore red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a blue mask and a plunger on his head.
The Fat Fury rescues the Statue of Liberty and defeats Mr. Horrible.
