Story[]
The world is at risk and it's up to one man to save it.[1] A mad scientist has to go through the DNA of the population of earth to find someone to do the job. The needed hero turns out to be a former alcoholic called Joe who has an anger problem and two estranged daughters called Zoe and Rhea.[2] Joe then finds himself in the hands of the mad scientist.[3] The experimental work that the scientist does on Joe equips him with some kind of electromagnetic power that could either save the world or if not, destroy it.[4][5]
