SuperBob (Jon Drever, 2016)

A Peckham postman is hit by a meteorite and turns as a result into the world's first and only superhero. However, this being a British comedy film, the twist here is that the unassuming hero continues as a civil servant, with a handler who controls his public image with a tight leash and swamps him in mountains of paperwork before he's able to perform any epic feats.
Also, as with so many low-budget British forays into comedy features, this has the obligatory set of cameos from a host of stand-ups in bit parts and is very hit-and-miss in its success rate and clumsy attempts to introduce depth to offset the slapstick. But it is vicariously gratifying to see, before Trump actually assumed his station as the most powerful sociopath in the world, that a healthy contempt for U.S. imperialism was already taken for granted, with the only real villain of the piece a populist American politician who comes over to try to make the decent man, who they claim is also a WMD not under their control, kowtow to the Stars and Stripes.
