The Upgrader

Ethan Cross, an exhausted auto mechanic, is hit by lightning and develops the ability to evolve anything he touches into its ultimate form. The gift comes at a brutal price: every use gradually petrifies his limbs into copper, a process that could kill him. Marcus Reed, a disabled Vietnam veteran who runs a junkyard, sees the power firsthand and becomes Ethan's steadfast ally. Victoria Kane, the billionaire head of Nexus Corp, is dying from a genetic disorder and wants Ethan's ability for herself, so she abducts his sister Gina, a nurse, to coerce him. Aiding Ethan and Marcus are Jax, a teenage former thief, Dr. Helena Park, a dissident scientist, and Silas, an ex-mercenary. Together they set out to destroy Victoria's energy matrix. In the climactic fight, Marcus awakens a latent restoration power that counterbalances Ethan's upgrades, allowing them to disable the device and rescue Gina. Ethan's right arm remains copper forever, but the group rebuilds the junkyard. At the close, an enormous copper hand erupts from the ground, suggesting a far greater threat ahead. The series can be followed on Drama4All.
