SuperBob

SuperBob is a 2015 British low-budget superhero comedy film about a Peckham postman who develops superpowers after having been hit by a meteorite.

In 2008, an asteroid fragment lands in Peckham, London hitting Robert 'Bob' Kenner, a mild-mannered and socially awkward postman.

Bob reacts angrily at being manipulated before smashing through the roof of the MOD building and flying off to search for Doris – instigating a worldwide manhunt for him with sightings in several locations around the world.

Bob eventually finds Doris in the care home, with local residents forming a barrier to prevent the police from entering as they express their feelings for each other.

Explaining to the world he's resigning from the MOD and going freelance, Bob declares he is no longer a civil servant or the property of the UK and gives his number for people to call for help.

Theresa has been reassigned to Afghanistan, and scientists have been examining the meteorite for six years in the hope of finding the source of SuperBob's powers, but without success.
