IIn a city full of crime and injustice, where men go blind with greed, one man aims to create balance in the chaos. That man is PainMan.

PainMan is the story of Truth Dagim, a man born with a very special gift, who uses it to help the weak, and to punish the wicked. Truth was born with a condition known as ‘heightened neurological disorder,’ which later lead him to develop the condition known as ‘fibromyalgia.’

Where most individuals would cower, and hide behind the veil of their pain, Truth has learned to embrace its force, and has made a resolution to use the pain as a tool, rather than a crutch.

But PainMan is no superhero; he operates under the laws of nature and science, and is a devout disciple of righteousness, honor, and virtue. He always does the right thing, and his aim is to restore the balance between right and wrong.

With his great gift, he accepts his destiny, and he operates under his personal laws called “The Tip of the Spear.” These laws include: theory of energy, righteousness, karma, lex talionis (an eye-for-an-eye), Jesus, dukha (suffering), and Corinthian love. These laws govern his every move, and define his actions, and him as a man.

In this perpetual effort to do the right thing, and to restore balance in the ocean of suffering that is life, Truth encounters his biggest obstacle- that, being himself. PainMan’s story is as much about a man struggling to find balance within himself, as it is of a man struggling to create balance in the world.
