Title:
Soldier X
Synopsis:
In Kashmir, several men working for General Daid-Khan search for a mysterious person gifted with telekinetic powers. As the locals aren’t willing to help, the General’s men take the children hostage and throw them off planes one by one to find out which of them is capable of flight. Nathan Summers makes the plane stop in mid-air and rescues the children. One of them, a boy named Rafi, tells Nathan that there was a stranger in his village who only said the word "Askani.”
The boy takes Nathan to his village, only to find it occupied by the mad General’s army, who wants Nathan to work for him. Nathan plays along with them as they wish for things only his powers could provide. The General wishes to fly; Nathan turns the General’s translator into a creature with wings. The General wants Nathan to make him an atom bomb; Nathan turns his hands into enriched uranium. One clap, and he’ll go critical. The General doesn’t believe him, thinking he is bluffing, and prepares to clap his hands; but his subordinates shoot him dead before he can try it. Nathan uses his powers to make the soldiers vanish before they can cut off the General’s hands and sell them, but actually, he was bluffing.
Blaquesmith enters the scene; only it isn’t really Blaquesmith, but a failed teacher called Nigel Novotny, made to look like Nathan’s mentor by Jackie Singapore, so that he trusts him. They want Nathan to become a religious figure through the media of films. Nathan thinks this might be a good idea and decides to help Nigel by teaching him.
