Are you ready for a new kind of superhero -- a thirty-something virgin in long underwear? Darryl Walker (Damon Wayans) is a bright but socially inept man with a gift for inventing things but little skill for functioning in the real world. His brother Kevin (David Alan Grier) works on a low-class tabloid news show featuring beautiful anchorwoman Kimberley Jonz (Robin Givens). whom he secretly loves. The Walkers live in Metro City. Illinois. a city thats been hit with a massive crime wave after the mayor is kidnapped by gangsters. After his grandmother is killed. Darryl builds a collection of crime-fighting robots from household junk. invents bullet-proof long underwear (made from his grandmothers old housecoat). and becomes Metro Citys newest crime fighter. Blankman. Blankmans escapades put fear into the heart of mob boss Michael Minelli (Jon Polito). and when Kevin turns out to have an inside track on Blankmans activities. it brings him closer to Kimberley. But how long can a superhero with no superpowers last against the forces of organized crime? Damon Wayans wrote the original story for Blankman as well as co-writing the screenplay and playing the title role. which was based in part on his 'Handi-Man' character from the TV comedy series In Living Color.
