The Hyperions
“Take back your power.”
In 1960, Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum invented the Titan badge - a device that enables humans to have a particular super power. He took in three down-on-their-luck youths, creating an unusual family of superheroes and they quickly rose to fame and prestige. Over time, however, the commercial family fractured and the Professor replaced the team with a new set of super hero teens. Cut to 1979, when two of the original superheroes are all grown up and wanting their Titan badges back, even if it means robbing the Professor's museum and taking a few hostages accidentally.
This offbeat superhero comedy blends a quirky, bittersweet mood with a propulsive, irreverent energy. It's a retro-styled look at aging heroes grappling with lost fame and the fractured bonds of a found family. Expect a charmingly chaotic, nostalgic ride.
