Mark Waid is Evil! According to the tagline used to promote Irredeemable, as story of a superhero gone bad. Actually bad is an understatement, this superhero has gone so far over to the dark side he makes Norman Osborn seem like Kermit the frog.
Irredeemable dares to ask the questions: what if the world's greatest hero decided to become the world's greatest villain? The hero-turned villain is called Plutonian, a character with Superman’s abilities and Lex Luthors sensibilities, here’s what Waid had to say about Plutonian…

The Anchor. Holy warrior, unholy war. Freak of nature, beast of burden, hulking outcast, medieval prize fighter, Viking raider, God's leg-breaker. One thousand years ago a hulking outcast sought refuge in the crumbling ruins of an ancient monastery, offering in return the one thing he had to give — his fists. Transformed into an immortal warrior monk standing at the gates of Hell itself to keep our world free from its invading armies, The Anchor is mysteriously tricked into centuries of slumber. But today, this holy warrior rises to battle all the unholy monsters unleashed during his slumber.

Too bad for John McClane, nothing’s ever that easy.
