Disheartened at the state of the world, the masses of those in need, and the amount of hate that exists, an infinetely successful and wealthy computer software mogul decides to do something about it.

Unable to think of the best way to do it, his witty teenage daughter suggests that Santa Claus brings joy to millions of people in the world.

Nearing Christmas, he has toys, goods and large cash donations sent care of "Santa Claus". Using a team of the world's best hackers, he searches computer databases for those people most in need, and dressed up in Santa suit and a high-tech, gadget equiped "sleigh", personally visits their homes all around the world.

A few years later, his daughter is caught up in a hostage situation with a group of terrorists and is killed along with hundreds of others when their building is blown up. The terrorists escape, but Santa Claus Man hunts them down and punishes them.

Realising that the world is still an unstable place, he dedicates his whole life to rewarding the good and punishing the bad.

Update: changed the name, so kiddies could differentiate between Santa: the jolly old fat guy, and Santa Claus Man: the gun totin' wire-foolin' badass vigilante fighter.

This is one superhero I can see Nic Cage actually playing.

//Now I have a machine gun...//
Pedantically speaking, of course, it was merely a sub-machinegun.
I would have thought better of Mr Willis had he scrawled the "sub-".
