Joe Manganiello is Max Fist, a hulking hobo who may or may not be a superhero trapped on Earth and stripped of his godlike superpowers. He gulps and snorts earthbound ambrosia like gut rot whiskey and crystal meth to reignite his ability to punch holes through space/time, but he merely scrapes his knuckles when pounding brick walls. He limps and growls through a Rick Grimes beard, reminisces about his life in the city of Chromium, a white Hancock who plummeted through a swirling vortex, such a feature of recent low-budget movies that promise Lovecraftian cosmic terror and cod – Nietzschean philosophy.
