Longing for some time alone with his boyfriend Dan, cutie Marc’s plans for a cosy night in are cast to the wind when the services of his closeted partner aka superhero Fusion Man are called into action, by way of a suicidal teenager on the edge of his mind and for that matter, the top of an office block.
Only this gay superhero has got problems of his own to deal with. What with sexy female reporter Anne Daren having the hots for him, let alone the psychopath Wako threatening to reveal his true identity to the world and here I’m not talking about the man behind the mask. Not out to the public, in rushing to save the life of yet another gay teen, alongside defeating the evil Wako, can this homosexual superhero find time to tackle issues closer to home?
Written and directed by Xavier Gens and Marius Vale, as based on an idea from David Halphen, this exhilarating short delivers the ultimate gay hero, superhero style. Sure it’s all played deliciously tongue-in-cheek, with Raphaël Personnaz as Dan / Fusion Man and Patrick Ligardes as Wako relishing in over-the-top performances. But that’s all part of its charm, as this brilliantly executed short, like its companion piece En Colo takes pride in being true to your sexual self, being part of the batch of five Government commissioned works against homophobia. Excellent production values, coupled with an entertaining parody of the genre, make this comic book styled short, a pure delight. Need more be said?
