The God-Emperor of Mankind

I think it would be funny if Henry Cavill finally got a Warhammer TV show and he played a desiccated corpse locked into a giant golden throne fueled by the psychic energy of daily human sacrifices. My boss, and fellow nerd David Ewalt, thinks we should take this seriously and do an Emperor of Man origin story—like I said, studios love an origin story—during the Horus Heresy, when the Emperor was still a God-Man, and not a God-Fancy-Half-Corpse-Statue-Figure.
