Line 4:
A man wakes up on an island off the coast of Seattle, unsure of who or where he is, unable to see in color, and with a strange mark on his body. But he knows everything, every single scene of every single movie, the composition of bullets from all sorts of [[Rare Guns]], the full history of Jack the Ripper, etc. He makes friends and solves crimes for the police.
Not to be confused with [[Metal Gear|another "John Doe" who served in a military unit named FOX]], or [[Se7en|
