Brightburn. I haven’t seen it (yet), but alternate universe where Superman becomes evil. Trailers showed him absolutely wrecking his classmates in anger and frustration.
The kid (alien) was sent by his race to conquer the planet, like the Viltrumites in Invincible. The ship activated his genetic programming when he came of age.
In many alternate Superman-esque stories, and in one arc of canon Superman, the alien race doesn’t look like humans. The ship Kal-El was sent in altered his DNA to make him resemble whatever species found him. I’ve always liked that take better. It’s probably the same for Brightburn, but never shown.
That movie is pretty fucked, but in a weird way that makes it good? Like it’s kinda weird seeing Elizabeth Banks and that one guy from The Office being the parents, but they do a good job.
There’s one scene in particular that kinda fucked me up, but you haven’t seen it so I won’t tell you.

Ooh! This sounds great! I’m going to look it up right now.
