If you could pitch a movie or comic book to an executive, what would your pitch be?

Topher Millstone, a disgraced mega-church pastor, strikes a deal with a devil. The devil receives rights to the Millstone’s soul while the Millstone receives power over his greatest sin. It’s a Faustian bargain, of course. Millstone had sought restraint over his sin so he could prove to his church that he had reformed, but instead he receives dominion over his sin. Furthermore, Millstone’s greatest sin is not lust as he supposed but rather coercion. Millstone has used his influence to press others, to bend them to his will. He dragged others down to raise himself higher. Now, he can do it literally with gravity manipulation so exact he can pluck atoms from molecules and powerful enough to level city blocks. Unlikely as it, the devil finds redemption in this story, but does Millstone, known now as Burden, find a redemption of his own?

(Not my best, but writing prompt responses don't need to be perfect.)
