Suggested by cesargustavorodriguezmartines
Rick Riker es un adolescente un poco torpe y marginado que vive con sus tíos. Durante una excursión escolar a un laboratorio de genética, es mordido accidentalmente por una libélula genéticamente alterada. Tras el incidente, Rick comienza a desarrollar una serie de superpoderes, como super fuerza, la capacidad de volar, y una piel "acorazada", aunque no siempre sabe cómo controlarlos bien. Decidido a usar sus nuevas habilidades para el bien, Rick se convierte en un luchador contra el crimen disfrazado, adoptando la identidad de "La Libélula" (The Dragonfly). Mientras tanto, un empresario y científico llamado Lou Landers también sufre un accidente en su laboratorio que lo convierte en un supervillano con el poder de drenar la fuerza vital de las personas para mantenerse joven. Este villano adopta el nombre de "El Reloj de Arena" (The Hourglass). La película sigue las aventuras de Rick mientras intenta dominar sus poderes, equilibrar su vida personal (incluido su interés amoroso por Jill Johnson) y, finalmente, enfrentarse al malvado Reloj de Arena para salvar la ciudad y el mundo. Será un remate o reimaginacion más serio de la original, pero con toques de humor
