What if there really was a man who could fly? What if there really was a Super Hero? What if he didn’t grow up in the best of families? What happens after the parades? “SuperGuy: Behind the Cape” takes the viewer behind the scenes and into the life and times of SuperGuy, AKA: Mark Trent. This is a “Reality TV Show” that follows the somewhat-super hero. He’s super strong and can fly, but even those powers have their limits.
We get a glimpse at his personal life and take a long, hard, unforgiving look at society’s reaction to this phenomenon. SuperGuy is not perfect, cannot live up to expectations, and can't seem to catch a break. From being compared to Superman to not being able to be everywhere and save everybody, his life becomes a super mess. His only true arch enemies turn out to be his dysfunctional family and the American Public as they all but crucify him for “Doing Good.”
In a world that desperately wants to believe in something, in a world that desperately wants to look up to someone, in a world full of despair, victims, and wackos, he fits right in. Behold, the man of plastic. You will believe a man can fall.
