Superhero Movie Page #7

Rick, this is good.

I'm impressed.

Like really impressed.

Hey, that's my spot.

You're sitting on my gargoyle.

Move it.

- Excuse me?

- What are you even doing here?

I'm looking seriously

out over the city

in a squatting position.

Well, that's what I do here.

So if you're not moving,

I guess we're gonna

have to share.

Uh, okay, fine.

I actually usually

perch in the front.

Oh, all right.

Well, here, you've got to go around.

- Okay, wait.

- Just turn this way. Here we go.

- Dude!

- You're right, I'm sorry. Relax.

- Okay okay.

- Okay okay.

- Uh, I can't perch like this.

- God, me neither.

- What's your name?

- John Storm.

Dragonfly.

So what's your power?

What's my power?

Stand back.

- Flame on!

- Whoa!

Huh?

I'm on fire!

Get a blanket or something!

Holy sh*t!

It's not working!

Get the fire extinguisher!

Ah! No! Ah!

God! You idiot, stop!

What's wrong with you?

Sorry, my bad.

Rick, once you understand

the true nature of heroism,

you will fly.

Sh*t.

This Dragonfly,

he's not even a hero.

He's not... I have... I have...

I have just a... I have...

He can't...

he can't even fly.

The Dragonfly

can't even fly!

I can fly, okay?

I can fly.

This just in:

Tom Cruise is dead.

World's most powerful man.

I have a feeling you might

disagree with that.

Strom, do you have

my test results?

Yes, sir.

Whatever you're doing

to your... victims,

rejuvenates you.

But only for 24 hours.

Hmmm.

What if I killed 28 people

in one session?

Would that give me

a month to live?

If it were February, yes.

But only if your cells

could absorb

that much energy at once,

and they can't.

I'm afraid

you have to kill each day

to live each day.

Still a slave

to the tyranny of time.

There must be some answer.

There isn't.

Unless...

unless you had

some cerillium.

Then you could create

a device powerful enough

to draw the life-force out

of thousands of people

and enhance your own

cellular capacity.

Strom, you're a genius.

Wikipedia.

But that's not important.

What is important is that you

don't have any cerillium.

Besides, it's immoral.

We don't do that sort of thing.

We're a pharmaceutical

company.

Wait a minute.

Take a look.

Hawking's lab is

in the physics building.

I could just

walk right in.

You're going

to steal cerillium?

No, not me.

I'm a law abiding citizen.

But perhaps there's

someone inside me.

Someone unfettered

by the rule of law.

Someone who will,

at any cost, survive!

Ow!

Oh, glass in my eye.

Glass in my eye!

- Does it hurt?

- Uh, yeah, it hurts.

Well, if you could spread...

spread them with your fingers.

Push your lids

with your fingers.
