You'll Regret Cheating on a Superhero

9 episodes

Go to the full screening

A superhero sacrifices his secret wife for fame, only for her to return as a powerful new hero with no memory of him.

Celebrity hero Bryan chooses a publicity stunt over saving his secretly married wife Rachel, leaving her to die in an explosion after she spent five years hiding her own career to support his rise. Presumed dead, Rachel endures the torturous Aurora Project, a genetic rewrite that transforms her into Lumina, the world's first female superhero. She deliberately erases her former identity, leaving Bryan with nothing but a death certificate and the sight of the woman he discarded now soaring above him.

Motifs

  1. Public image versus private loyalty
  2. Identity erased through scientific torture
  3. Discarded wife returns as superior

For viewers who

Viewers who want a superhero drama centered on a woman reclaiming power after betrayal will appreciate this premise.
