Future Man follows the story of Josh Futturman, a world-ranked gamer who still lives with his parents and works as a janitor at a sexual disease research centre.
His social ineptitude, low self-esteem, and inability to approach women are only matched by his unparalleled prowess at 'The Biotic Wars', a dystopian video game where his character, Future Man, holds the top ranking in the world.
When Josh becomes the first person to beat the final level of the game, he is visited by the game's "fictional" characters, Tiger and Wolf, who are actually real warriors sent back in time from a desecrated future.
Their mission is to recruit Josh to save humanity from a deadly super-race invasion.
