A Beautiful Mind - comparison

In The LOTUS: Lord of the United States, my character starts with a disabling Mental Illness that sends him to a Mental Hospital. His Doctor finds the cure in  a plant growing in  his back yard.  Then he becomes a Super Hero once "cured."  Compare this to A Beautiful Mind situations. 

The Lotus: Lord of the United States.

A hero is found in unusual places. Some are impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decisions, like the soldier who wants to save his love, or the pedestrian wanting his fifteen minutes of stardom. Others are naturals, born leaders who achieve the highest honors for selfless acts. And then there is the one who does something incalculable, from an onset of insanity into becoming a folklore subject for years to come.

From the safety of a Mental Asylum and thrust into sanity after finding a cure, comes the Hero known as The Lotus. His paramilitary abilities saves his home in Kauai from a new threat. Emerging from North Korea, the villain Ke seeks to own the Pacific Rim by blackmailing all Nuclear Powers with an all-powerful weapon in outer space.


Included is Bast the Cat Goddess (novel).

"An Ancient Egyptian goddess was discovered in a large tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. Her ambitions to control the living may have started the Revolution, but another one has surfaced: the disembodied Ka Spirit of the Emerald Pharaoh. Will the Cat Goddess be successful? Will her Shabty Army conquer the known World?"
