After paying attention to something I recently read on TV Tropes about Superman's appearance changing how the general public thought about superheroes and here is an idea that would work with the Inferior Five.
Set right before Man of Steel #1, The Inferior Five are a group of 18 to 23 year olds who as a joke and as punishment from their parents for different reason's were made to dress up as incompetent heroes to demonstrate their incompetence in all scenarios. However Superman manages to give them unintentional inspiration to actually start to not only act like superheroes, but to aso improve their lives, at the end of the comic they are at best C list heroes but they're the "Best Damn Heroes We Can Be!!"
Does this work?
