Title:
X-Man (1995)
Synopsis:
In Greyville, Nate and his friends Spider-Man, Madelyne, and Threnody are at a drive-in cinema one evening before school restarts, when they are attacked by a large red goo. A woman called Violet, apparently a SHIELD agent, appears and commands the goo to suck Spider-Man into itself. Nate goes into the goo to rescue his friend and learns that it is some sort of swarm. He manages to pull Spider-Man free. Violet is taken out and later arrested.
The next day, Nate and his brother, Cable, and parents Forge and Jean are in the barn on their farm. Nate hears a news report about the infamous Ruby-Rosarios being stolen, but Jean tells him that it is not his problem. They are then attacked by Sinister, who murders Jean, then Cable, and then Forge, wanting to reclaim his creation, Nate. Nate attacks Sinister, destroying his armor and revealing a small, old, purple-skinned man underneath. Nate flies up over Greyville, and the world around him appears to change.
In Seattle, Threnody is still tracking Nate down. She appears different and is surrounded by zombies.
Nate examines his new surroundings and notices purple smoke coming out of the volcanoes that surround a bunker on the strange island he hovers over. He recalls the woman Violet from Greyville and how Sinister had a purple man beneath his armor. He figures out that the Purple Man is responsible for these strange events. He flies towards the bunker, recalling how the Purple Man destroyed his life earlier. He is being watched on a monitor by someone holding the Ruby-Rosarios. The observer decides that he has to cut his losses and turns the screen off.
