Xesque was originally written for Artist One, a local San Francisco based start-up production company. Sadly, like many spec scripts, it was never to be brought to life on the big (or even small screen).
The option has now lapsed. So perhaps it may now serve at least as an example or entertaining read.
The story is a pretty blatant rip-off of an early Professor Xavier (of X-men fame) comic strip. Here we first encounter a show-down between two individuals with super psychic powers. The idea was to start a series exploring what it would be like if normal people suddenly found themselves with super/mutant abilities. The last thing they’d probably do is dress in spandex, or otherwise draw attention to themselves.
