Hero: The Geriatric Avenger ™

Hey folks, my last thread got closed cuz no name or concept sketch. new thread here. Thanks!
Story:
20-year-old college gymnast and biology major Jerry Atrix had dreams of making it big in the glamorous field of genetics. He worked part-time in Professor Epoch's experimental laboratory studying the effects of aging on the human body. When a clumsy lab tech knocked over a bottle of sasparilla into the petri dish of experimental chronosphil he was studying and all over his clothes, Jerry shook his fist and demanded an apology. As he stormed off to the bathroom to wash the mess from his clothing, Jerry noticed a transformation taking place. His Abercrombie and Fitch jeans began to turn plaid, and to ride higher up his mid section. His Sketchers softened and turned into a pair of fuzzy slippers. His Hollister sweatshirt shrank to a sweaty undershirt. To his horror, the transformation continued over his body. His hands wrinkled, and began to crack with age. His mane, once dark and luxurious, fell out in clumps exposing liver spots. His ears sagged and the hair protruding from them quadrupled it's length and coarseness. In terror, Jerry ran to the bathroom mirror to confirm; yes, he was OLD!
After several months of living as a senior citizen, Jerry noticed many injustices in the world. People patronized him and shuffled him off to his bedroom when he told them he was actually a virile young man who had undergone a tragic lab accident. He had his license revoked when he got into a minor fender bender. Grocery store checkers were rude when he couldn't find the coupon he had in his wallet for the apple he wished to purchase. Seeing these atrocities, and being the ONE senior citizen actually young enough to do anything about it, Jerry dawned the mantle of the THE GERIATRIC AVENGER™, upholder of the rights, liberties and dignity of the elderly.
Powers:
Though he appears aged, The Geriatric Avenger™ is incredibly agile and can perform 3 handsprings in a row. His "Dentures of Dignity™" demand respect from whippersnappers. His powerful hearing aid (hand-crafted to his specification, and allowing it's turned all the way up) enables him to know when a senior citizen must be forced to stand when on an overcrowded bus. The Geriatric Avenger™ also has the ability to see a movie for $6, cash a Social Security check and purchase alcohol without showing I.D.
