MyMan: An Origin Story
Synopsis
Following the tragic loss of his father, Marcus Miller grapples with identity loss and strives to maintain his former social and academic standing. As more powers emerge, Marcus faces a critical decision: succumb to darkness or honour his father's legacy by embracing heroism.
This fantastical narrative intertwines nostalgia, surrealism, teenage turmoil, and nods to comic book lore.
