Here is Fernando Torres as millions of Liverpool fans would like to see him... as Saviour of their Universe!
It's Fernando as Flash Gordon and in the words of Queen's 1980 hit record Torres clearly fancies himself as the man who is "King of the Impossible".
Fernando takes on the Flash Gordon role in a tongue-in-cheek Pepsi Cola advert made for Spanish cinema and TV screens.
In the famous strip cartoon Flash saves the world from "Ming" an evil alien who is bent on its destruction.
Who knows, when the Kop Choir see Torres in his new Flash Gordon get-up, perhaps they will cast Alex Ferguson in the part of "Ming the Merciless", ruler of the planet Mongo.
Scenes in the Pepsi advert see Fernando as Flash battling alien creatures to rescue a stunning damsel in distress.
The ad even pays homage to fellow Liverpool icons, The Beatles, who feature as Sgt Pepper-inspired characters.
The commercial shows Nando - dressed in a superhero 'Torres' t-shirt - fluffing his lines by repeatedly referring to the drink as 'Pesi', as it is known in his Spanish neighbourhood.
He eventually loses his rag, tossing his cola can aside and tearing the second 'P' from a huge 'Pepsi' sign.
Reds fans are still hoping the 25-year-old Spaniard can do a Flash and 'save every one of them' by turning Liverpool's season around after he came back from injury.
