Ultimate Man: a Novel Nathaniel Williams

Ultimate Man: the world's greatest superhero - in his own words. Oculor: Ultimate Man's burned-out arch-nemesis, running low on original evil schemes. Maleficia: a witch with her eye on a prize that could do away with Ultimate Man for good - if it even exists. Gelleen: a mutated teenager heiress trying to get her feet wet in the world or ne'er-do-wells. The Ring of Competence: a legendary item of incredible magic power and a not-so-incredible name. Put these ingredients together and you get adventure (mostly confusion), danger (to themselves and others), suspense (Will they get their act together?) and octopoid librarians (long, long story).
