Bill Gordon is accidentally infected with the AIDS Virus and acquires some unusual abilities from the chemicals used in the year-long experimental program that almost kills him. Although no Superman, he is stronger and faster than the average man, with an increase in his body density, causing him to weigh more than a man his size. Once cured, he slowly adjusts to his new abilities, and his dream of marriage is rekindled when he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Mary Beth Johnson.
