Brightburn

With apologies:

Faster than a movie that has a substantive plot. More powerful a sleep aid than Melatonin. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound yet poor character development prevents that from happening.

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a sociopath!

Yes, it's Brandon Breyer, strange visitor from another planet, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Brandon, who can fly at nearly invisible super-spend so as to avoid expensive special effect costs, bend steel in his bare hands when he's angry at lawn care machines, and who, with no forethought to disguise, draws attention to himself as a socially awkward pre-teen in middle school, fights a never-ending battle for no real reason other than he just really wants what he wants.
