''The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy'' is a three-part book series written by William Boniface parodying comic book superheros.

The story takes place in [[CityOfAdventure Superopolis]], where everyone has a superpower with the exception of the main character and narrator, Ordinary Boy. He is a member of a team of superheros (read: five fifth graders) called the Junior Leaguers who want to one day join the League of Ultimate Goodness and fight beside OB's hero and idol, the Amazing Indestructo.

* AlliterativeName: Comrade Crunch.
* BadassNormal: OB.
* BroughtDownToNormal: The plot of ''The Great Powers Outage''.
* CityOfAdventure: Superopolis.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: With the exception of a few, practically everyone in Superopolis has shades of this, but especially the Commune for Justice, a group of villainous hippies.
* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: Played straight with nearly everyone except AI, who actually started his own company with the Tycoon to fund his heroic exploits.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The New New Crusaders.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Lobster Boy, who has lobster claws instead of hands.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Everyone in Superopolis is named after what power they have.
* FiveManBand
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He's really subtle about it, but Boniface puts this everywhere.
** [[spoiler: Ordinary Boy makes a few wild guesses in the first chapter as to where everyone's power comes from. His guesses are radiation from a meteor or something in the water, after which he points out that everyone in Superopolis eats a lot of potato chips, but doubts that has anything to do with it. The cause of the superpowers? Potato chips fried in water containing radiation from a meteor.]]
** The machine in the Multiplier's lair whose purpose is unknown in the first book.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Inverted or played straight, depending on your interpretation.. OB just wants to be super, but, given that everyone is super, this could be considered wanting to be normal.
* InnocentBystanderSeries

* OnePersonOnePower: Stated in the first chapter.
* PowerIncontinence

* TimeTravel: Brain Drain builds a time machine in book 2. [[spoiler:It works ''way'' differently than it should. Instead of causing the user to alter the past, the user is and always has been part of the timeline, so Ordinary Boy was Meteor Boy the entire time.]]
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: Although the idea that Ordinary Boy may have superpowers after all is teased, it is never elaborated upon. Since the series has been effectively over for over ten years, it's unlikely that it ever will be, either.]]
* UpToEleven: The effect a device that enhances the superpower of the holder has.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Averted with AI. Though outsmarting him isn't too hard.
