The plot of the film is based on the comic books of the same name. At its center is teenager Dave Lizewski. He loves comics about superheroes and dreams of becoming one himself. One day he orders himself a masked hero costume by mail and goes out into the streets in it to fight criminals.

As one might expect, Lizewski, who has no specialized skills, is severely beaten and ends up in the hospital with numerous injuries. But this does not stop him and, having recovered, he takes up his old ways again.

One day, a young man comes into the view of video cameras and, thanks to YouTube, everyone knows about him. He is given the nickname Kick-Ass.

This unusual family, like Kick-Ass, wears masks and fights crime. But unlike Dave, Macready are professionals. They soon encounter Kick-Ass and save his life.

All three heroes cause trouble for the local mafioso, Frank D'Amico. He asks his son Chris to pretend to be a fan of Kick-Ass and use his help to find MacReady.

Dejected by the death of his father, Chris decides to become the first supervillain. He gathers a gang and begins to commit various crimes. However, he is opposed by the Justice Forever team, which includes Kick-Ass and other masked volunteers.

At first, this group manages to fight the criminals very effectively, but gradually Chris and his henchmen begin to exterminate them. To stop this, the police decide to arrest all the masked heroes.

After defeating their enemies, the masked heroes decide to become ordinary people, but Dave secretly trains hard. Mindy leaves New York.

The main character of the film “Kick-Ass” is Mindy MacReady (Hit Girl)

Fate was not always fair to this girl. While other parents carefully raised their children, gradually accustoming them to thoughts of a cruel world, Damon MacReady raised her to be a fighter from childhood.

On the one hand, he turned his daughter into a brave, independent person, capable of repelling anyone and achieving her goal. On the other hand, despite all her fighting skills, she was unable to live normally in society, having become accustomed to dividing the world into white and black.

The heroine's life before the death of her father

As for the biography of this heroine, it was slightly changed compared to the Kick-Ass comics. The film portrays her father as a former cop who was imprisoned as a result of a frame-up and, upon his release, decided to fight crime as Batman.

During his imprisonment, Damon's wife committed suicide, abandoning her little daughter Mindy to the mercy of fate.

Having freed himself, MacReady took the baby to himself. Thanks to many years of intensive training, Hit Girl (actress Chloe Moretz) learned to cope with any opponents and kill without feeling regret for her victims.

Having met Kick-Ass, the girl immediately realized that he was a simple amateur, but his desperation made a favorable impression on Mindy.

The early years of Hit Girl in the comic book version

In the original comics, things were a little different.

In the story, Damon MacReady was an ordinary loser accountant, like Kick-Ass, who loved comics. When his wife left him and took his daughter with her, he stole the baby and began to train intensively with her.

After some time, father and daughter began to travel to various cities in the United States and kill local criminals. Soon fate brought them to New York. Then events began to unfold in the same way as described in the film.

Growing Up Hit Girl

"Kick-Ass 2" almost completely repeats the plot original comic, except for the finale. Just like in the movie, when Mindy went to public school for the first time, she encountered cruel world teenagers Accustomed to killing her enemies, the girl was not ready for the world of gossip and pretense. However, at the insistence of her guardian, she tried to forget about the past and even stopped training Dave.

Trying to become normal, as others wanted her to be, Hit Girl (actress Chloe Moretz) gradually begins to realize that the so-called norm is not for her. The cute girlfriends and gallant boyfriends that the girl encounters turn out to be just as bad as the criminals she fought before her father’s death. It’s just that the scale of the evil they commit is smaller and society turns a blind eye to them.

Having realized her essence, the heroine discards everything unnecessary and again turns into a crime fighter. But in the movie, Mindy leaves the city, but in the comics, the police block Hit Girl’s path and arrest her. Despite public protests, the girl is sent to jail.
