Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel is a 2016 American independent superhero comedy film directed by Antonio Lexerot and Vincent J. Roth, who also stars as the lead character. It is the second film in the Surge of Power series, produced by Surge of Power Enterprises, and follows the 2004 movie Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes. The film follows superhero Surge as he faces new and returning enemies.[1][2]
Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel follows Gavin Lucas/Surge, an openly gay superhero, as he confronts two threats: his old enemy Metal Master, recently paroled from prison, and a new psychic villain named Augur. Augur seeks revenge against retired superhero Omen, his former mentor, by harnessing the power of Celinedionium hidden beneath a Las Vegas casino.[3][4][5] Assisted by his allies, Surge tracks Augur to Hoover Dam, where a battle temporarily stops the villain's plan. However, Augur escapes and revives "The Council", a dormant group of supervillains from Omen's past, forcing her out of retirement. In the climax, Surge convinces Metal Master to betray Augur, while Omen confronts her former protégé. Though the heroes prevent Augur's scheme, the film ends with hints that The Council remains a threat.[6][7][8]
