Who is the main character born from the consequences of Seth Brundle's experiments?
As the aftermath of the disastrous events of The Fly takes hold, Veronica Quaife faces the profound repercussions of her husband Seth Brundle’s teleportation experiments. She gives birth to a mysterious sac containing a larval form that matures into what appears to be an ordinary infant boy named Martin. The child is taken under the wing of the enigmatic Anton Bartok, the owner of the company funding Brundle’s groundbreaking research. Bartok names him Martin and raises him in a sterile, clinical environment where he quickly develops both impressive intellect and extraordinary reflexes, all while disregarding the need for rest.
As Martin enters his teenage years, he lives a life straddling two distinct worlds: the sterile environment within the Bartok complex and the unknown wonders that lay outside its boundaries. Already at three years old, Martin’s physique resembles that of a ten-year-old, compelling him to navigate the complex corridors of the facility. In one of his exploratory trips, he stumbles upon a room laden with laboratory animals, where he forms a bond with a dog.
That very night, he returns to bring food for his newfound companion but is met with a chilling discovery: the dog is gone, leaving a void filled with apprehension. His search leads him to an observation area overlooking Bay 17, where scientists struggle to piece together Seth Brundle’s Telepods. The atmosphere is fraught with tension as Martin watches a disastrous attempt at teleporting the dog, resulting in its grotesque distortion and a brutal outcome that leaves one of the scientists gravely injured.
As two years pass following this traumatic event, Martin’s rapid physical maturation sees him resembling a 25-year-old on the fifth anniversary of his birth. Bartok gifted Martin a cozy bungalow within the Bartok facility, offering him the opportunity to restore his father’s Telepods. Initially hesitant, Martin is moved by videotapes left by Veronica Quaife, which showcase Seth Brundle’s journey with the technology, igniting a desire within him to continue his father’s legacy.
While pouring his efforts into the Telepods, Martin’s life takes a new direction as he connects with Beth Logan, a fellow colleague who invites him to a gathering in the specimens division. Unbeknownst to him, this event marks a pivotal moment in his life. It is there he learns about the mutated dog, a remnant of his father’s horrific experiments, still alive and held captive. Anger wells within him as he feels betrayed by the lack of action regarding its well-being, prompting him to confront the grim reality of its situation, leading him to end the dog’s suffering in a heartbreaking act of mercy.
After reconciling with Beth, Martin uncovers the Telepods’ true requirement for living tissue for optimal functioning. He demonstrates this by successfully teleporting a kitten unharmed, and this accomplishment leads to a blossoming romance with Beth. Yet, beneath the surface, signs of Martin’s impending metamorphosis begin to show—hinting at his evolution into a human-fly hybrid.
Martin grapples with his condition and contemplates a dubious cure: exchanging his mutated genes with those of a healthy human, a decision that would, however, result in a shocking disfigurement for another. This internal conflict leads him to reconsider his plans for personal salvation.
His world shatters further when he discovers Bartok’s intrusive surveillance of his every movement within his bungalow. Fueled by the desire to uncover the truth, Martin sneaks into Bartok’s records room, revealing the dark history surrounding his father’s demise. Confronting Bartok reveals a sinister plot: his father anticipated his mutation and devised a nefarious plan to exploit Martin’s genetic abilities alongside the Telepods.
As Martin’s insect genes stir to life, he slips towards transformation, culminating in a daring escape from Bartok Industries that wreaks havoc. Meanwhile, Bartok finds himself thwarted as he struggles to access the Telepods, protected by a password. To further complicate his father’s scheme, Martin installs a virus in the Telepods, designed to wipe their programming if the wrong password is inputted. This knowledge incites Bartok to initiate a manhunt for Martin, intent on seizing him to implement his diabolical plans.
In a desperate plea, Martin shares his struggles with Beth, leading them to the trustworthy Stathis Borans, Veronica Quaife’s loyal friend. He affirms that the Telepods are their sole chance for a cure. However, their frantic escape is battered by Martin’s physical and emotional changes, ultimately causing Beth to surrender to Bartok’s manipulations. With the password remaining elusive, Martin finds himself ensconced in a chrysalis-like cocoon while Bartok exerts pressure on Beth to divulge vital information.
As the clock ticks slowly, Beth waits anxiously for Martin’s transformation. Upon emergence from his cocoon, Martin surges into Bay 17, seizing Bartok and forcing him to input the imperative password “Dad.” As they speed towards their goal within a Telepod, Beth follows orders to initiate the gene-swapping sequence without hesitation. Martin returns to his human form, while Bartok undergoes a horrific transformation into a nightmarish creature.
In the desolate enclosure once home to his canine friend, the newly warped Bartok stumbles towards a food bowl filled with slop, fixating ominously on a single housefly that rests across the edge.
