LOUIS THE SUPER NERD


Louis the Super Nerd

SYNOPSIS:

            In times of crisis, Earth needed a hero. Until then, there’s Super Nerd. Louis Levy was your typical geek facing the trails and tribulations of high school: getting beat up by bullies, being teased at by classmates, and a loser when it comes to girls. One day, Louis was on his way to the neighborhood library when he accidentally bumps with a scientist whose secret changed Louis’ life forever.

The scientist invented a super-potion that can transform an ordinary person into the world’s most powerful human being. Hunted down by super criminals, he entrusts Louis to keep the potion from the bad guys. Unfortunately, thinking it was a new brand of Soda Pop; Louis ingested the formula and turned himself into an indestructible hero, although he still looks the same only wearing a pair of tights!

Now, this unlikely hero has dedicated himself to using his newfound powers for good, and also to teach those bullies in school a big time lesson! Too bad he did not took flying lessons (he flies really bad, and he’s afraid of heights), he’s nearsighted without his glasses, and every time he uses his powers, wacky destruction ensues. But with the help of his friends, and a pretty transfer student who has a secret crush on him and who’s secretly a superhero herself, Louis will show the world that one nerd CAN make a difference… if he survives PysEd class.
