Synopsis

One night, as a film projectionist who goes by the name of Joel Fliickstein was cleaning and rewinding film reels in a hot basement of a movie theatre called The 4-Star Theater. The cellulose from the celluloid in one film reel overheated all of a sudden, malfunctioning under a halogen light that caused it to melt and splatter in the eyes of the Joel. But little did he know, there was a presence of a supreme-being in the atmosphere that soon fell upon him to make divine intervention for him; so he wouldn't lose his eye sight, following this a chemical reaction happened that gave Joel the superhero ability to reenter any movie scene upon per-adventures that's was for the soul purpose of interacting with the characters in the cinematic universe to obtain wise guidance and advice. Nevertheless, Joel also inherited the supernatural gifts of empathy, psychokinesis, extra sensory perception, telepathy, Pyrokinesis, psychometry, and precognition. However, Joel was being watched as all eyes was on him; as he has an audience who are reading his thoughts in this second-run movie theater on the big screen, as if, they were viewing text messages in a group chat without there being a cellphone in his midst. Additionally, this allows the audience to see Joel's life play out on the movie screen right in front of their very own eyes; as it was being re-scripted by the Supreme Being of the movie theater for the good. Although, Joel didn't find this out until he discovers that the movie theater that he works for has secrets of its own, and so forth from the time that Joel has jumped into a film; the movie theater has begun to re-script his life through every genre and scene, making a movie out of his life for the purpose of saving itself from foreclosure. Thus, after flicking back to reality and undertaking an ogling process of becoming fully transformed in the character that the Supreme-being wants him to be from the inside out; he turns his hand to an idea to call himself 'Celluloid', taking on this divine alter-ego who makes divine intervention for people through prayers of intercession who turns the bad days of suicidal victims around for the good. Not to mention his costume looked futuristic designed in transparent yellow that shows through a visual appearance of white noise on the peck, biceps, and thighs that's also designed with neon blue and orange. His emblem of a handicap symbol is displayed on his super-prosthetic legs and arms armory. It also includes a tiny film projector that appears through a slit in the Mohawk on his helmet, and an attached anti-splash eye protection multi-purpose cyberone two-way mirror style poly-carbonate face shield on his headgear. It has an eraser that transfigures into a laser light force field shield with a butterfly emblem displayed on it. And it has a Tritium neon yellow glow cube key chain that transfigures into a lightening bolt sword. Eventually, Joel Flickstein crossed paths with an estranged orphaned Israelite boy who was separated from his parents during a time of war and famine in Israel, when his parents felt the only way to spare their son's life was to sneak him on a boat that would sail him to American where he would be free; so they did just that with the guidance of God for the boy, who had inherited these supernatural gifts of empathy, psychokinesis, extra sensory perception, telepathy, Pyrokinesis, psychometry, precognition, post-cognition, and automatic-writing. Everyday the boy would purposely wander into the 4-Star Movie Theater, where he would see a particular movie and even sleep in it, who finds food from the left-overs that the movie-goers have left or dumpster diving. One day, while the film projectionist - Joel Flickstein was in one of the theaters, setting up and inspecting the curtain and screen controls; as he finished he crossed one particular row, and stumbled over the boy who was sleeping curled up halfway under a seat. Because of that, it opened up a chance for Joel to bring the boy up to his projectionist booth to tour and hear his story. Because of that, Joel took the boy in as one of his own and gave him a broom closet along with a cot to sleep in and snick food up to him from the concession's stand, while together they searched for the boy's parents through research, not to mention, they also saw films together and Joel even taught him how to jump into a film. Until finally, after one movie jump that happened during Joel's prayers of intercession, the boy received a promptly prophetic vision that unlocked a whole new mystery; as he found out that his parents were not only alive but a happening of a doomsday event before it's time that involved the Antichrist rising though an app that will take the lives of many, nevertheless, he also discovered how to treat and subdue his trigger and subliminal responses that self-activates venting through writing, where fears would just come upon his atmosphere or sphere of influence. Therefore, developing the character strengths of temperance; he harnesses and learns to use his gifts and abilities that he has been given to turn a traumatic evil into good, by becoming a fore-sighting crime writer who fights crime through pre-destinarian journaling. Thus, Joel mentored the boy in his craft through movies and prayer. As through all the boy as been through; he finally had the courage to tell Joel his name, saying it was Sigal Eytan. Thereafter, Joel and Sigal worked together to design a suit for the boy who was now seen as an unseen superhero through his gifts; as it was a suit that looked like a futuristic cross between a Steam-punk and Swashbuckler superhero outfit designed in yellow, Gray, light turquoise, and brown with a tad of black. His emblem is displayed on his belt buckle and shoulder. It also includes a hood and a pair of googles. It can camouflage itself. It stretches to accommodate anyone who wears it, so he can grow into it. And it has a global-positioning device as a lightening bolt sword. And together, Celluloid and Reels went on to work with the law enforcement to assist them on arduous unsolved cases; as they fought crime thereafter.
