Decent idea, right? Now, enter the unique absurdity!!

Soup or Man? goes on to tell the unfortunate tale of a man whose severe IBS has forced him to eat only soup his entire life (you heard me right), making him very picky and difficult to live with, leaving him lonely and bitter.

Because of this, he barely sleeps. This night owl wanders the crooked city streets, thermos of warm soup in hand, watching bad things happen, never helping. Until one night, he decides to take a stand!

After witnessing the robbery of an elderly woman, he steps in to tackle the fleeing thief. Instead, he's brushed easily aside, crashing hard into a nearby electrical panel. His soup spills all over, and as he's electrified it meddles with his DNA, replacing its strands with noodles and broth from the soup he'd relied on so much.

Enter, Soups, a human turned super hero, turned super villain, back to hero in the end when aliens invade the city he'd taken under his control, who has the power of elasticity and transforming to liquid. Once he realizes that compared to him the city is weak and puny, as he once was, he decides to appoint himself as ruler, since he alone knows what's best for everyone.

Part satire, part absurdity, part exercise in storytelling, I wanted to turn the super hero genre on its head, melding it with crime noir, science fiction, and a major plot twist to cap the whole thing off.

Depending on feedback, I may release the script to this, for shits and giggles.
