- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Creature Commandos or The Boys Presents: Diabolical, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.

Ousted as A.I.M.’s leader, while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is set to confront his greatest challenge yet: a midlife crisis!
