When six-year-old Reginal Sodowsky escaped the assailants who killed his parents with not so much as a scratch, it became clear that this is no ordinary child. A series of tests soon reveal that not only is Reg not ordinary--he is bionic. His skin shatters weapons and he does not feel pain. As the years go on and after feeble attempts at trying to live a normal life, Reg decides to put his extraordinary powers to good. Dubbed ''Flakman'' for his ability to repel bullets, Reg's decision to become a police officer seems like a no brainer.
