New unit Mike follow on from Batman Film work

Recently for Mike we have started a new piece of work, creating a Superhero and Villain, also creating a storyline, the start which sets the scene and kicks off the storyline, the middle part where good triumphs over evil, and the end where of course the superhero prevails and "moves on to fight another day".

There are some ideas, such as the bad guy does something bad:

Kidnapping
Robbery
A Natural Disaster (Which will be of course started off by the Villain)
Some kind of accident
Killing or torturing someone close to the hero to provoke or just to get the hero's attention

I have created a superhero and villain on a website called Marvel who made all the Spiderman and other superhero stuff, I now just need to come up with a storyline to fit around the characters and make the story interesting..
