Is he a madman? Was he what he claims to be? Or is he just the … Archenemy?

Deathstroke is back. … Well, not Deathstroke, at least not yet. 

In actor Joe Manganiello's latest film he stars as Max Fist in the Legion M film ‘Archenemy’.

According to Max Fist is he was a superhero in another universe. However, all that changed when he crashed landed on earth and ended up living in a rundown, crime-ridden American suburb. Not only can he not convince people that he is what he says he is, but upon landing on earth he is rendered powerless. This leads Max to become a broken-down drunk telling tales of his glory days, until Hamster, a kid with a dream of becoming a writer comes into his life.

Max now has someone who believes him, and Hamster has someone who he thinks won’t let him down. which for both of them is put to the test when Hamster’s sister Indigo steals $100,000 from the mob. 

This is when Max learns what it means to be a true hero— one powerless but brutal blow at a time

--- Widescreen Online Review

This story is about characters fighting for an impossible dream. It's about what happens when our memories of a glorious past, and our hopes for a glorious future, smash against the violent reality of where we are now. And it's about trying to change that reality together.

Told as a gritty, immediate, street-level crime story, with flashbacks to the hyper real action of Max's past -- a past that may or may not be real. The epic myth of a superhero blends with the style of modern noir in a story about characters who are trying to grapple with reality... like all of us. -- Legion M
