In the chaotic city of Zango, where survival feels like a daily accident and reality itself seems unstable, a scientist named Calado Bento—infamously known as “Doctor Bad Luck”—works at GENE-HIVE BIOTECHNOLOGIES, a biotech corporation experimenting with genetic mutations and insect-based super-organisms. When a series of bizarre incidents leads him to experiment on an ordinary cockroach using forbidden genetic technology, the creature mutates into a monstrous, intelligent entity known as Cockroachman—an unpredictable force that embodies both heroism and destruction. Declaring war on filth and corruption, it becomes a feared and mythologized figure across the city. As chaos escalates, other mutations and human-insect hybrids emerge from the same unstable scientific experiments, including Human-Cockroach, a being shaped by waste, poverty, and survival instinct, further distorting the boundary between human and monster. Meanwhile, Calado himself attempts to gain powers but instead becomes trapped in a cycle of failure, absurdity, and accidental survival, reflecting the distorted logic of Zango—a place where death, science, and comedy blur into one system of existence. The story evolves into a darkly comedic and chaotic exploration of power, mutation, and urban decay, where every attempt to control life only creates new, more unstable forms of it. .
