In the planet Chitn the scientist Jan has created the "ultimative weapon" to fight against the evil dictator Skorba: a baby with superpowers. He sends him in a spaceship to Earth, but gata, Skorba's daughter, follows him in another spaceship to capture him. However, the baby's spaceship impacts with the Hispasat satellite, so he lands on Spain, whereas gata lands in United States. The baby is adopted by the Lpez family, who teach him to hide his powers, to not make other people jealous of him.
Years later, Lpez is his 30s and has a normal life only using his powers when nobody is watching. In his office his boss and friend Jaime hires Luisa. Jaime is romantically interested in Luisa, but she is more interested in Lpez and they both go on a date. After the date, a subway loses control and Lpez manages to stop it. Footage of this rescue is seen by gata, who is now the owner of the biggest tech company in the world.
gata kidnaps Jaime and Luisa. Lpez manages to rescue them and they go to the house of the parents of Lpez. There gata attacks them with a giant mecha robot. Lpez's father distracts gata by firing a shotgun at her before being sucked into the mech's vacuum, while Lpez attempts to put on his suit despite the hot weather. With the help of his parents and friends, he finally embraces his abilities to become Superlpez and takes on the robot. gata sucks him in, only to push him out and cause him to land within Camp Nou during a match between F.C. Barcelona and Villareal CF. Juan rips out the goal net but misaims and tosses it at his Earth mother. gata captures her, before stamping Lpez into the ground. Before she tries to kill him via buzzsaw, Jamie distracts her, while Luisa drives the Lpez's truck. Regaining consciousness over Luisa's cries, Lpez uses his ice breath on the windshield and pushes it into the pool as the mech trips over the Lpezes's truck. Lpez's adoptive parents and Jamie come out of the pool safe, followed by gata. Lpez's adoptive mother reminds him that his home planet is still waiting for his help, before he tells her to not worry as he has a plan.
Days later, Skorba's spaceship returns to Chitn with gata, carrying the man from the park who everyone believed as "Juan", and appoints him as the planet's new leader. Back on Earth, Juan now becomes a proper superhero, much to the disdain of the press and general public. Luisa and Lpez start dating, while the latter points towards the man who called him Superlpez before he teleports away, leaving behind a pacifier.
The movie received generally positive reviews. Oti Rodrguez in ABC describes it as "a surrealist cross between the sainete, the grotesque and the joke about a serious matter (Superman) that has completely lost any hint of sensibility". Beatriz Martnez in El Peridico says that is an "intelligent comedy of adventures that through an addictive rhythm reflects on the Spanish idiosyncrasy, mediocrity and mediocrity as engines that drive our society".[6] More negative is Javier Ocaa in El Pas who says "Nothing is wrong: neither the interpreters nor the situations nor the dialogues nor the direction. And, nevertheless, not a grimace, because nothing is good enough to provoke a certain merrymaking".[7]
