Panda Squad
This is a bit naughty, a super-hero squad idea that mashes 2 major trends in filmed entertainment of recent times – super heroes and autistic folk.
I figure it could be pitched at Seth Rogen, as it could be slotted in alongside Preacher.
A group of high functioning autistic pre-teen kids go on a charity trip to China.
When visiting a Panda Zoo they get exposed to a chemical designed to get the pandas to have sex more often.
When they become teens the kids each discover that when they get sexually aroused they have a super power. All the powers are variations on the same theme – heightened senses. Each kid tends to have a more heightened sense, such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and psychic. Possibly they are each trained to focus on one more than others?
Initially to use their powers, they need to arouse themselves to trigger it. With time they can just think of an image or situation from their wank bank.
Sex becomes a tricky proposition, as they become highly sensitised, and distracted.
They are all over the USA, but slowly find each other and become Panda Squad. They have a variety of cultural backgrounds. And, yeah, they are autistic. Take clues from Atypical
US soldiers used for enhanced muscle experiments
One African American soldier escapes. Lives off-grid semi-homeless. Donates to sperm bank for cash
Kids inherit DNA. Muscular strength.
All kids same teen age. All are siblings as in Luke and Leia. They are all black or part-black. This could be exaggerated a little for social commentary.
Some hide it / Some are sports stars / Some are criminals
Call themselves Strong Bros before a sister arrives.
Yes very similar to Orphan Black. But less complicated!
The stories revolve around being a minority or differently abled. As teens. And having to team up with people just like you. When you want to be a loner.
And the two very different teams working together.
And rage, anger, love, and a focus on what the outliers of society get up to.
