Thanks for the advice, Mr. Mysterioso, but it's time to get busy.
Come on, Eddie. Let's go. - No, Roy.
He's getting results. - The result is we're all out of here.
Come on, Jeff. Let's peel some lilies.
I don't want to leave the Sphinx.
How about the rest of you?
Do you want to play Suzie Homemaker, or do you want to be superheroes?
Okay, I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines.
Let's talk about this. - No, let's not talk about it.
Do you want to sit here making Halloween outfits...
...or do you want to take care of business?
Well, I guess from now on I ride in a wolf pack of one.
We should go after him. - He's okay.
Just let him go. He's a baby. - We've never gone into battle without him.
If you love him, why not marry him?
Why don't you marry him? - Why don't you?
Bowler, Shoveler, please.
Sphinx, what wisdom can you give us in our most clouded hour?
yeah, what do we do?
The loss of manpower can be replaced by the addition of firepower.
Well, I won't use guns. I've been clear about that.
He won't even use a knife.
you're not going to start with that meshugas again?
Casanova will have many weapons.
To beat him, you will have to have more than forks and flatulence.
Heller.
'Dr. A. Heller. Weapons designer...
'...innovator, inventor, world changer.'
Why does he live in a deserted amusement park?
Because he's an eccentric genius.
I'll take point. you two flank. Let's triangulate.
Equilateral or isosceles? - Just go.
Who would want to rent a chicken?
It's weird in here. It's scary and weird.
There's another chicken.
Crazy chicken world.
Dr. Heller?
We come in peace.
Shovel Head?
The Shoveler. We met at the old folks' home.
Of course.
Fork Man?
No, I'm the Spleen. To see my power, pull my finger.
Please, don't. - No, sir, don't.
Dr. Heller, we're on a mission. We've come for weapons.
Shouldn't we see a diploma or something first?
you came to the right place, baby. Step into my office.
Where are your friends?
What friends?
your friends.
I thought you guys were in a club or something.
you mean a team? A Superteam? - yeah.
Apparently, it's now the Super Sphinx Team or something.
you had a falling out? - yeah, kind of.
Is it okay if I just have the coffee?
I'm not very hungry. - Sure.
What time do you get off work?
Half hour.
Why?
No reason. I was just thinking maybe I could....
It might be a good idea if I walked you home.
The city's been real, real dangerous...
...since Amazing went M.I.A.
I've been working on some jujitsu moves that....
It'd probably be safer on everybody's part if....
Also, it would be great to just...
...walk you home.
Sure.
This will even things up a little bit. What is it?
Look at this. - Don't point at me.
you're gonna kill somebody.
Listen, everything here is non-lethal.
'Non-lethal'? What?
I don't make anything that's deadly.
I see. How delightfully eccentric...
...while simultaneously being a waste of our time.
No offense. Shall we? - Thank you, Doctor.
I said good day. - See you, Doc.
That is why, in general, a mad scientist is less desirable...
...than a garden-variety scientist.
Incoming.
Look out. - Watch out.
Doc, you're a genius.
A canned tornado?
Totally non-lethal, but totally effective.
What is this thing you were handling before?
That's a shrinker.
How do you know?
A manual. Cool.
That's a high-temperature, fabric-adhesive, liquid projector...
...based on simple dry-cleaning technology.
you aim that at a guy...
...his clothes get so tight he can't even breathe.
I can trick that out with a holster.
It comes with a leather carrying case. It's got a wad cutter and a full warranty.
Nicely done.
What do you call this? - Careful, careful. That's a blame-thrower.
'A blame-thrower'? - I'm sorry.
your bad attitude is hurting this team.
Stop spitting. I already took a shower. - you need another one, 'cause you stink.
Want me to pop that zit for you? - I'm really shaking.
you're always spraying. - I'm sorry if I spit all the time.
I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
No, no.
Doctor, you are a genius. - That's what the card says.
I still want to be with them when they go rescue Amazing.
So why don't you just go back?
No, I just left this morning. That would be--...
This is my place. - That would be ridiculous.
They're your friends. They'll understand. It's clearly what you want to do.
That actually could work.
I'm Mr. Furious, right? I'm unpredictable. I'm a loose cannon.
I go storming off. Why can't I come storming back?
I mean, it's all in how you play it, right? - Or don't play it.
Just go back, say you're sorry and help them save Captain Amazing.
you think there's a really angry way I could say I'm sorry?
'Cause that's kind of my....
I gotta stick with the anger thing 'cause people like that.
Maybe people like you for who you really are.
you know?
Okay, I'm gonna go.
you should go find your friends.
Good.
Now, the three of you will be like the eagle's claw.
you will snatch up the hostage and carry him to safety.
We three scouts are like the eagle's eye: ever watchful for danger.
Are you ready? - yes.
Then let operation Three-Eyed, Three-Legged Eagle begin.
Shotgun.
I think not, my friend.
Silly twit.
Give me a second.
Hey. - What's up?
Not a lot. What's up with you?
Nothing much.
Have you seen my address book? - No. What did it look like?
It's denim. It says 'Hang loose' on it with a picture of a kitten.
No.
you should probably think about where you saw it last.
Right.
I should probably....
Eddie, there's something I want to say.
I'm angry about being left out of this mission...
...and about what's happening with this team, but I'm....
Oh, boy.
Temperature rising.
Vision blurring.
Rage taking over.
I got an idea. Why don't you come with us?
Okay.
Rage subsiding.
Pulse slowing.
Anger fading.
That was quick thinking, Eddie.
Well, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.
Drink, drink.
Right, then. I'll go and scout out a way in.
What should the signal be? - 'Caree, caroo.'
No, no, what about: 'whippoorwill'?
No, 'Caree, caroo.' - yes, but isn't that better?
Not interested. - Enough with the cuckoo.
We must find an open window. - That's what I said.
Go, go.
Does everyone have a drink?
yes, we all do. - you're all good?
Good. Well, it is wonderful in my heart...
...to see so many familiar faces once again.
The Susies: assassins from the East.
The Suits: downsizing all those who dare oppose them.
The Furriers: always dressed to kill.
The Frat Boys: still on probation for lethal hazing.
Phi Zeta.
Of course, the Not So Goody Mob:
Putting the rhyme into crime.
The pleasure's all mine, Frankenstein.
We're about to perpetrate some evil on the Champion City people.
Rappin', snappin', cappin'.
Tonight, we are having quite a party. A surprise party.
I have a little something up my sleeve...
...and I'm not just talking about the wart on my elbow.
I have created a beautiful machine...
...that is going to encourage our fellow citizens...
...to share my vision...
...of the world.
Can you dig it?
What about Captain Amazing?
That is an excellent question, Big Tobacco.
What will we do about the greatest superhero Champion City has ever known?
For the answer, I want you all to walk this way.
Dude, can we bring the brewskis?
yes, of course. you may absolutely bring the brewskis.
Things look pretty quiet to me.
Invisible Boy, did you just let one go?
No, that wasn't me. - Well, it wasn't me.
Don't run. He'll shoot.
Is he doing what I think he's doing?
Just go with it.
Can anybody see anything? - Hey.
Who said 'hey'? - Not me.
Eddie, you don't have to say, 'Not me,' okay?
If someone says, 'Who?' and you say-- - Morons, over here.
It's Captain Amazing.
We've been looking for you. - Turn on the light switch behind you.
We meet again, Captain.
We're here to rescue you. - yeah.
I'm Blue Raja. Do you recall me? Master of silverware?
you said to keep up the good work after the Red Eye skirmish.
I meet so many people in this business, but I think so.
you two, locate the master ignition switch on the main console.
Could you open that up?
you'll be out in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Frightfully uncomfortable. - Great.
How does this work? - I've seen one of these.
you've got to push this thing in and twist it.
Don't force it. - She's right, my little friend.
This contraption is a weapon of mass destruction.
Casanova plans to turn it against the city tonight at midnight.
Something's happening.
Very good. On the wall to your left you should see two toggles side-by-side.
'Toggles'? What do you mean? you talking about switches?
I see them, Captain. - Thank you.
Flip the first toggle. - Flipping.
Excellent work. Now, flip the-- - Jolly good work, team.
Could you just stay over there, please?
Of course.
Sorry.
Now flip the second toggle. - Do as he says.
The man knows what he's saying.
Captain, I'm just gonna ask you directly. Do you know billionaire Lance Hunt?
It's me.
No, I'm kidding. I've always wanted to do that.
What's next? - I just told you, flip the second toggle.
Again? - What do you mean?
Flip the toggle twice? - No, no.
Don't do that. Just flip it again now. One time. Flip it.
Does he understand what I'm asking?
Hold on a second. Exactly how many toggle flips in toto...
...are involved in this procedure?
I just.... It's...seven.
Seven? - Flip it.
Seven? - Everybody, hold the phone.
you phrased that incorrectly. How many toggle flips are needed...
...not counting the gratuitous toggle flip you may have asked for...
...in a moment of panic. - Flip it.
Could we just start again? ls there a reset button on this thing?
No, you freak, there's no reset button. Flip the switch, lady.
Don't stare at me. Lift your left arm. Flip it, moron.
you're a moron. - I am not.
Don't call her a moron. That's not cool. - Thank you.
I will do it. - Flip the switch.
It's this one, yes?
Wrong switch.
Everybody heard me say, 'Reset button,' right?
My God, we killed him.
What do you mean 'we'? I was right here.
I'm gonna check his pulse.
I don't think he'll pull through.
Somebody's coming. We gotta get out of here.
Everybody should just keep holding their horses.
Go, go, go.
God in heaven.
This sucker's dead. - What happened to him?
As you can see...
...l have taken Captain Amazing...
...out of the picture.
It's time for us to rule.
Tonight at midnight, I'm going to do to Champion City...
...what I have done to its greatest superhero.
There'll still be time to go up, get down and boogie.
Come on. Let's get out of here. - Where's Captain Amazing?
There's been a bit of a cock-up. - Raja murdered him.
Guys, I think we got bigger fish to fry right now.
What the hell was that machine? - I don't know.
But I know where we can go to find out.
The vermin are back, Tony.
Vermin should be exterminated, Casanova.
A fish fork is no match for my machine.
But I think we should take out some insurance.
Don't you think?
It's a psychofrakulator.
It creates a cloud of radically fluctuating free-deviant chaotrons...
...which penetrate the synaptic relays.
It's concatenated with a synchronous transport switch...
...that creates a virtual tributary.
It's focused onto a biobolic reflector.
And what happens is that hallucinations become reality...
...and the brain is literally fried from within.
Where would you get it? - I don't know, they said it couldn't be built.
The equations were so complex that any of the scientists who worked on it...
...wound up in an insane asylum.
Which is where Casanova's been for the last 20 years.
If he uses it, it'll waste Champion City.
Not 'if.' 'When.' - We need Captain Amazing.
Unfortunately, we just killed him.
No, unfortunately, you killed him.
Because you have problems at home doesn't mean you can kill people.
'Sorry. Mummy. I'm English. I didn't mean it.'
K-l-L-L-E-D. you killed him.
you killed him. you hit the switch.
It's the same difference. He's still dead.
you did kind of-- - Sphinx.
Sphinx, what in heaven's name do we do?
Sometimes...
...the true hero is the one with the courage to run away.
I like the way this man thinks. - Let's run.
We can't run.
yes. It's been established that we can run.
This is egg salad loaded with cholesterol. My wife won't even let me touch it.
Hardly seems to matter now. Chances are, we're already dead.
Amazing is gone.
There's no use waiting for the cavalry, because, as of now, the cavalry is us.
yeah, but I don't wanna get frakulated. - Psychofrakulated.
We still get frakulated. - This is our fight, whether we like it or not.
We're not your classic superheroes.
We're not the favorites. We're the other guys.
We're the guys nobody ever bets on.
But I'll tell you what I think.
you and that ball of yours have an appointment you must keep.
Invisible Boy, I think it's time you were seen.
Sphinx, you have trained us well.
Dr. Heller, you might just have given us the edge we need.
Spleen, I don't want to stand behind you.
But I'll fight beside you with pride.
Jeff, you've got a rare and beautiful gift.
The city needs you tonight. And, Roy...
...in all the years I've known you, I've never seen you walk away from a fight.
you lifted a city bus once.
I think you've got what it takes to handle Casanova.
We're all in over our heads, and we know it.
But if we take on this fight, those of us who survive it...
...will forever after show our scars with pride and say:
'That's right. I was there. I fought the good fight.'
So, what do you say?
Do we all gather together and go kick some Casanova butt...
...or do I eat this sandwich?
I say, what the fork. Let's do it.
If we're gonna bust into that mansion you need more than your car.
At the auto yard, there's this old Herkimer battle jitney.
Wait. you have a Herkimer battle jitney?
That's the finest non-lethal military vehicle ever made.
All right. We'll meet at the junkyard and go from there.
I shall need more forks, I'm afraid.
Those who have loved ones, say good-bye before we go.
you may not get another chance.
Zei gezunt.
Hey, Mom.
Jeffrey, what are you doing?
I was just....
I'm a superhero, Mother.
A superhero?
An effete British superhero, to be precise.
I am pilfering your tableware because I hurl it.
I hurl it with a deadly accuracy. The Blue Raja is my name.
I don't wear much blue, and I speak in a British accent.
If you know your history, it makes sense.
The point is, your boy's a Limey fork-flinger, Mother.
Hard cheese to swallow, but there it is.
What will the bridge club think?
you need more forks?
These belonged to your great-great-grandmother.
I was saving these for your wedding day.
But, from the looks of it, that day is probably a long way off.
Mom, you're taking this incredibly well.
I've always known you were special...
...but I just never realized how special.
I'd better get going.
I've got a city to save.
Jeffrey? - yeah?
Do the accent.
I'd love to stay and chitchat, but I fear I must away with me.
Our metropolis is in the clutches of madmen.
Jeffrey?
Cheerio. - I really should get going.
Okay.
Thanks, Ma.
I said I'd leave you, Eddie. I meant it.
The city's in peril, Lucille. We're the best hope they've got.
Eddie, please don't start.
I don't expect you to believe me.
I just came by to tell you...
...that I love you.
Tell the kids I love them.
And now...
...good-bye. - Good-bye, Eddie.
I won't be here when you come home.
That's a chance I'll have to take.
Wish me luck.
you okay? - I wanted to say I had a great time tonight.
And you were really nice to me.
And I would love to ask you out sometime.
But if I don't call you, I want you to know it's because I'm dead.
Me and my team are going to take on Casanova Frankenstein.
It's pretty much a suicide mission.
So, if there is anything that you want to say to me...
...now would probably be a good time to say it, just 'cause....
...yeah, I got a question for you. - Cool. Kick it.
What's your name?
Do you mean my secret identity? 'Cause I couldn't....
No, I just mean your name.
My name.
It's Phoenix.
Phoenix Dark.
Dirk. Phoenix...
...Dark-Dirk.
I was christened Dirk Steele, and I changed it to Phoenix.
Forget about it. It's okay.
It's Roy.
That's my name. My name is....
My real name is Roy.
Just be Roy.
Roy. I'm Roy.
yes, I'm Roy.
Roy. Who is Roy? Roy is who? - He's freaking out, man.
Where's the guy who pretends not to be Roy?
We've had quite enough of that. Stop it. Just snap out of it. We're tired of it.
I'm a true wanna-be, in the worst sense of the....
...you guys have to fight this battle without me.
If you doubt your superpowers, you are shafted.
If I had any superpowers to doubt, I'd be in trouble, but I don't.
What do I do? All I do is go....
Roy, what are you talking about? you lifted a bus once.
Precisely. That story's legendary.
It was really more of a push than a lift.
That still takes incredible superhuman strength.
It does. To push an entire bus out the way.
Actually, the driver had his foot on the accelerator...
...to get it going, then it actually was me.
But he kind of....
Shit.
Excuse me.
It starts a process which results in an accelerated flow of electrons...
...that creates a powerful magnetic force.
This is basically like a huge electromagnet.
Actually, it's an electro-nuclear-magnet.
It's the next inevitable phase.
Vis, can you close up those jockey boxes? - Right on it.
Let's get suited up. We're out of here in five.
It's time.
Let's go.
Shotgun. - I already called it, didn't l?
Have a seat, my friend. - Everybody ready?
We have lift-off. - May the forks be with us.
Sorry. Too much throttle. - That's cool. I'm just gonna go.
No, sit down. - All right, here we go.
Vaya con Dios.
Somebody do something. We need him.
Let's do this. you're a very furious man.
Do you understand that? - No.
you got a lot to be furious about, and I'll tell you why.
you're not well-liked. you're abrasive and off-putting.
you try to be pithy, but your wit is a hindrance...
...therefore, nothing is provocative.
It's just mixed metaphors. Doesn't that make you angry?
Does it infuriate you? - No.
It should. Are you angry? Come on, man.
your penmanship is atrocious. - you dress like a male prostitute.
Get real. I have no powers whatsoever.
If he has no powers, maybe I've got no powers.
Maybe I can't turn invisible at all. - Do not go there, son.
When you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts.
I don't mean to be an alarmist, but it's 11:30 already.
Thirty minutes till Casanova blows up the city.
Listen. We've got a blind date with destiny.
And it looks like she's ordered the lobster.
Hang on.
We're going to ram the gate.
What do you think? Should we knock or just let ourselves in?
Hit the ground.
They're shooting.
I hope this magnet thing works.
It's working.
Go. Go.
Quickly. Everybody into the disco room.
Everyone, through here. Keep moving.
Focus, people. Focus. Let's go.
Hello?
Wait.
Laser eye.
I should have brought my large pie server.
If we can't get through that door, this battle is over.
This is it.
My time has come.
What are you talking about?
Wait. Invisible Boy. - I wouldn't do that, if--...
Come back here. you'll be cremated. - It's all about me now.
I'm the only one that can save us. - He's right.
Good luck, son. - Nobody look at me.
Don't look at him, or it won't work. - I am transparent.
I am like the window. I am see-through.
I'm like Saran Wrap.
I did it. I'm invisible. I really do have superpowers.
Can you see me?
yes.
Two hands there, son.
Maybe you should put some shorts on if you want to keep fighting evil.
Furriers, you will stay here and delay the attackers.
Not So Goody Mob, fight from behind. The rest of you, into the atrium.
Spread yourselves out for a second wave of attack.
The door. Door.
On three. One, two, three.
Shrink 'em.
I say, they've gone from junior to missy petite.
My dress.
Now that's a wedgie she won't soon forget.
My pants feel like they're shrinking, too.
Blame thrower. - Look out.
I got a bone to pick with you.
Hold it.
I'm boss.
you know what? y'all make me sick.
Give me that gun.
I got 'em. - Disco forever.
Invisible Boy, Spleen. Susies.
Dig this, Shovel Man.
Duck. It's the Susies.
Grab the gun. - It's stuck.
Coast clear?
Shoot anyway.
I'm scared. - No, you're not scared. Be strong.
Say it with me, 'I ain't scared of no Susies.'
I am scared. - Say 'I'm not scared of no Susies.'
Come on. you ready?
Let's go.
Dive.
I'm hit.
Where? - I'm hit. Medic. Man down.
Man down. I can't feel my ass. - What?
I can't feel my ass.
your powers still work?
My powers? Weapons check.
Fire in the hole.
It'll do. - Spleen.
Go check on Spleen, okay? - Okay. All right.
you ought to run, Tony P.
you can't hurt me, Baby Bowler.
'Cause I'm protected...
...by the god of hair care.
And it's time to send you back to your daddy.
you killed my father. - That's right.'Cause I'm a killer.
And you're not. Let's face it, kid.
you don't have the guts to kill me.
you're right. I don't have the guts to kill you.
Because I'm better than you. yeah, that's right.
A lot better.
I may even find the courage to forgive you someday.
Carmine, on the other hand, feels differently than I do about forgiveness.
Now I'm going back to graduate school. That was the agreement.
We're doing it. We're winning. We're gonna pull this off.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Tell your funny-looking friends to put down their weapons, Mr. Furious.
Get out of here. He's crazy. Save yourselves.
Put them down or I will slash your girlfriend's pretty little throat.
Eddie, Jeff, do what he says.
Thank you.
It's so easy to get the best of people when they care about each other.
Which is why evil will always have the edge.
you good guys are always so bound by the rules.
you see, I kill my own men.
Lucky me.
I get the girl.
No.
Don't worry. It will all be over so very quickly.
What are you doing?
They ripped the 'Q' section out of my dictionary...
...'cause I don't know the meaning of the word 'quit.'
you want a little fisticuffs? Okay.
Get him, Roy.
Come on, Roy.
It's the funkyskunkulator.
We've got to stop it. - Don't touch any toggles.
Rage taking over.
Ja. We've heard all that before.
No, no.
Rage really taking over.
Frak you later, Frankenpuss.
yeah.
Get out of here.
Hit the deck.
How do we shut this thing down?
Group hug.
yeah. - Okay.
Hurry up. - Get her closer to the hole.
Dad, this is the way it has to be.
The upshot is you won't be killed because you're already dead.
No, I'm not going with you.
If there's a time for separation, let me tell you something, this is it.
Lift me up. - Push her up.
Help me lift her up.
you can do it. Hold on.
Do it. - I love you, Dad.
Run. Run. - Let's get out of here.
Run for your lives.
Go.
Watch out.
Go.
No one could survive the chaos we've just witnessed here.
But as the dust begins to settle over the ruins of Casanova's mansion...
...the question remains:
Who were these brave heroes that gave their lives to save our city tonight?
Did that frakulator work, or what? What's the deal?
Something's moving. People are coming out.
Could you tell us what's going on? - Hi. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Can you tell us what happened here tonight?
We did it. We won.
Hey, that's my team.
We struck down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork...
...and the hammer of not-bickering. - We are number one.
All others are number two or lower.
Who are you guys? - They call me the Shoveler.
That's my dad.
My hero.
I'm the Bowler. Hello.
Blue Raja, master of silverware. Hi, Mom.
I mean, cheerio, Mummy.
Jeffrey.
And you, sir. What's your name and your superpower?
My name's Roy.
I'm in a super amount of pain. Could you leave me alone?
His name's Mr. Furious, and his power comes from his boundless rage.
Excuse me. Could I say something? I think we would all like this victory...
...to go out to all the other guys.
The people in this city...
...who are super good at theirjobs but never get credit...
...like the lady in the D.M.V. That's a rough job.
To the people that remember jingles from old commercials.
People that support local music and independent film.
The guy that drives the snowplow. The school nurse--
Eddie, I think they got the point.
What's the name of this group?
The Super Dudes.
No, not the Super Dudes.
We don't have a name yet, but we're definitely not the Super Dudes.
I gotta get home. It's late.
Picture, picture time.
Whatever you call them, Champion City will forever...
...owe a debt of gratitude to these mystery men.
Wait. That's it.
We are the Super Squad.
No.
Alliteration in these situations is corny.
What?
yes, we're all very aware that you saved the day...
...and I'm sure we'll be hearing about it for the rest of our lives.
