This is the premise of a new script I am working on:

I am working on a comic idea (outlining the idea now) called Synaptic. It is essentially in a post 'Thought Police', post apocalyptic type world. Synaptic exists in a time just after the fourth World War in which some lands have technology and energy, and some don't. The 'synaptic net' was a instrument worn by all people in order to control their minds, it also linked them all the time to the Internet, things like that. The premise is that our hero 'Gabriel' (might change that name) wakes up in this world with few memories of his past and destroys his net by pulling it out of his brain. Gabriel then discovers he has Mutant like powers to manipulate energy/gravity with his mind. Of course, the downside as he and our readers find out later, is that his power kills him every time he uses it. In his travels, he meets many people in this new world--some think he's Jesus, others the devil, some want to even kill him. He travels from nation to nation, learning about this new world. In some of the lands, people still where the 'Synaptic' and it works, in other lands it doesn't work. Bottom line: is everyone wants a piece of Gabriel and Gabriel is dying, and he knows it. If he can't save the world, can he save his friends, or even himself? And all along the way, our readers discover where he's from and why he's here and that inevitable truth may be more ugly than the world Gabriel now lives in.
