I needed a break from Cyborgs, Bodybuilders and Post-Apocalyptic Wastelands after this last month.
Let's go with cheesy, dated stuff instead...
Oh and he's also the titular Superhero.
His powers are telekinesis and mind control, but he wears a visor like Cyclops.
He uses his powers to get a woman named Regina to come to his Island and they eventually hook up.
There's a catch- he loses his powers for 6 hours after he 'does the deed.'

After she leaves, he realizes that she's a bad lady calling herself Jenabell- Queen of the World.
She stole the Royal Crown of England, but then returns it with a note asking for a greater treasure.
It is less of a request and more of a threat, but you still have to appreciate the courtesy.

He tracks her to Paris and gets into a fight with her goons after they rob a bank- just in time for his powers to return.
If you think the whole 'losing his powers' thing will come up again, dream on.
He works to stop her from stealing a diamond that can transmute matter if light is reflected off of it.
It's all a big MacGuffin and as silly as you'd expect from a Film like this.
He keeps nearly catching her.
At one point, she kidnaps his lady friend and he has to save her from a robot- as you do.
Her big Plot basically involves using said diamond to help make Robot doubles for World Leaders.
A Plot so good that Futureworld stole it.

In the End, our Hero stops her...and keeps the Crown she originally stole. You scamp!
Is it good? Objectively, it is not great.
It is cheesy, has a very dated Soundtrack, a ridiculous Plot and can't decide whether it is a Spy Film or a Superhero one. Argoman is kind of a jerk too.

That said, it is enjoyable in a strange way. It is just so committed to this silly Plot, silly outfits, silly Soundtrack and just its overall vibe.
It is so silly.
Things just kind of happen.

This isn't a great Film. It was featured by the recent MST3K crew, so that tells you alot.
If you want a silly, dated Film to enjoy, this will do.
If you want something great, keep scrolling.

A silly Film that is pretty enjoyable, provided you set your expectations right. It is a cheesy time capsule of a Film that I can't really hate.
