 'Darkman'
With "Darkman," his first mainstream movie, Raimi has created perhaps the most successful live-action comic book to date, by inventing a character.
Darkman is slapped together from scraps of other monstrous antiheroes -- the Phantom of the Opera, Swamp Thing, the Invisible Man -- every wronged mutant who has ever been out for vengeance, and he'll surely earn his own comic book.
Darkman can even wear a mask of his own face, which comes in handy when he starts dating Julie again -- she can't quite understand why their dates always clock in at under two hours.

 Darkman (1990)
(In the comics themselves, anti-heroes have become so commonplace that conventional heroes almost seem to be an endangered species.) Darkman is a guy mutilated by fire whose nerves for sensing physical pain have been cut permanently, and who is subject to episodes of uncontrollable rage combined with adrenalin strength.
Yet it's mainly through brains and careful planning that he tackles his foes, so the propensity to rage is usually a liability that he has to fight against, not an asset.
What is a bit more surprising is the resurrection of the first film's bad guy after he was shown being quite thoroughly killed.

 The Flick Filosopher | Darkman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Darkman is only a step away from parodying comic books -- the near perfection of Peyton's life before Durant blows up him and his lab; the almost-too-convoluted plot involving Strack and his real-estate deal -- but it never crosses that line, because Raimi knows the rules of this game.
The protagonist must lose much in his transformation from ordinary man to superhero, and the superhero is the defender of the good people of his city -- the corruption of public officials must not go unpunished -- as much as he is the avenger of his own violent creation.
Darkman spawned two sequels -- neither of which was directed by Raimi or starred Neeson, and neither of which is worth seeing -- but what it really wanted was a television series, one in which, week after week, Peyton, aka Darkman, ostensibly fights crime but actually fights with himself.
