I wasn't a cop. I was just a number-cruncher for a credit card company and married to a wife who fucking hated him. Are you satisfied?

Big Daddy is a primary character in the first Kick-Ass comic book story. He is an assassin turned superhero who ran away with Mindy McCready and trained her. Big Daddy is the superhero identity Damon Macready.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Damon's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
In Kick-Ass 1

Damon Macready was a former police officer whose wife was killed on orders by mob kingpin John Genovese, who also tried to have Mindy McCready killed, but he escaped with his daughter Mindy and plotted revenge. He started to train Mindy to be a deadly assassin while traveling around the world, and the two soon don superhero identities; Big Daddy and Hit-Girl.

After their return to New York, where they began their plot against John, Dave Lizewski makes himself known as the local superhero Kick-Ass. Intrigued, the two decide to meet Dave and stay in contact with him if he wants to team up with them. After another superhero becomes popular, Red Mist, Kick-Ass and Red Mist meet up with Hit-Girl and Big Daddy, only to reveal Red Mist to be a spy for John.

The three superheroes are captured, with Hit-Girl being gunned down, before John begins interrogating Big Daddy. Big Daddy is revealed to be delusional and a comic book fan, and the backstory given for his origin is false. His wife is still alive and he practically kidnapped Mindy to train her to be an assassin, justifying his actions by saying he wanted to make her life interesting. Taking on an organized crime family was justified simply by the fact that they "needed a villain."

Still, in spite of these delusions, Big Daddy did care for Hit-Girl and genuinely wanted her to be an effective force against crime, believing that taking away her childhood in the name of justice was perfectly acceptable.

In spite of being a former accountant, Big Daddy is shown to be a professional crime-fighter. Funding his crusade by selling comics and looting his victims, he has been training his daughter Hit-Girl to become a lethal vigilante. He himself is quite adept at handling firearms though most of the missions shown to the reader are mainly accomplished by Hit-Girl, with Big Daddy providing armed support as a sniper. It is revealed that he and his daughter have been living on the run for years under many false identities.

Mobster John Genovese was furious that his organization was being targeted and so he arranged for his son to become Red Mist, seemingly another superhero. They planned a double cross that led to Big Daddy's death, although Hit-Girl avenged him and, along with Kick-Ass, took down the organization.

After Bid Daddy's death

Big Daddy occasionally appears to Mindy McCready in flashbacks, dreams, and even in person to lecture Mindy and warn her of approaching danger. He mentions watching over Mindy from heaven.
