Lo scienziato Peyton Westlake sta lavorando ad una sorta di epidermide sintetica, ma il suo laboratorio viene fatto saltare in aria da dei gangster: egli stesso si salva per il rotto della cuffia, rimanendo orribilmente sfigurato. Grazie ad un intervento dei medici che lo hanno in cura - mirato a impedirgli di sentire il dolore che le sue ferite comportano, acquisterà una forza straordinaria e cercherà vendetta.
