What genre does this novel I’ve finished fall under?


I’ve just finished a novel and am preparing to send it to a lit agent. But I don’t know what genre of fiction it falls under. I know genres that it could fall under: young adult/juvenile, commercial, action/adventure, humor/satire…?
Here’s the story at the most basic level:

A teenage boy becomes a superhero in the modern world, facing problems that we see in the real world.
There are only 3 teen characters and the rest are adults (and one kid) that work in like, the CIA and the media, etc. There are several jokes in the story, some w/ a point and others just for fun.
I would like to aim for a broad audience, though.
