It is not a bad idea. What I see working is a Golden Age style story - perhaps not in a vibrant world filled with heroes, but maybe a guy who is just fed up - no real super powers - but fancies himself a hero.

Then actually becomes one over time - survives his early mistakes to get better and better, particularly as law enforcement starts to trust him.

Again, I like Golden Age setting here, perhaps a period piece set during the Great Depression, might work.

Something along the lines of Will Eisner's The Spirit would fit well with this theme.
