This reminds me of the famous north american legend from the 1980's, the legend of the Knight Rider.
He was originally a cop named Michael Long. He and his black partner were undercover investigating a case of industrial espionage involving stolen computerchips. Michael Long was undercover as an personal security expert for VIP's, and his partner was undercover as a janitor. The sting went haywire, and they were each seperately outwitted by the criminals and shot within a few minutes. When Michael Long was shot, the bullet went into his head, reflected off a steel plate that was already in place in his skull, and came back out through his face. He was rushed to emergency treatment, and an opportune ruse began in which he was declared dead and taken to a remote castle where a plastic surgeon gave him a repaired face. In this case, the face of David Hasselhoff.
The remote castle was home to the owner of the Knight foundation, a man by the name of Mr. Knight. Anyway, Mr. Knight dedicated substantial financial resources and Knight foundation human resources to aiding Michael Long's recovery, in which they were a success. Lukcily, Michael was cool with the fact that he woke up with a new face and identity, and then Mr. Knight died of cancer to bring us to the end of Act 1.
Act 2, the guys death left Michael in charge of all the open files in the revenge portfolio of Knight foundation business, which it turns out was a lot for one foundation. To assist in the various revenges, Michael was given a bulletproof pussy magnet named KITT that could drive itself and talk. As a credit to the show's producer, the viewer will might notice they hear a little Fleetwood Mac during KITT highway montages as accompaniement.
Together the two of them made a lot of progress in bringing criminal elements to justice, and became friends along the way. KITT is actually an acronym for something. Presumably the acronym starts with Knight - something - something - something. There will not be a Knight Rider movie.
