Evil, sinister tentacles threaten to strangle
the fair city of Dakota.
But fear not. For today, a new champion is born.
Soaring through the sky
+our young hero spots trouble on the ground.
Alright, Dr. Insidious
your plan to destroy the world
+with your mondo gravity ray is over.
Whoosh!
Armed with his awesome electro quarterstaff, +he makes
quick work of the evil doctor's heinous henchmen.
+
Whoosh! Ksst! Whoop!
Aah! My staff!
Pshoo! Thoop-thoop-thoop!
Pshoo! Pshoo! Pshoo! Dodging death rays
+he makes a desperate dive for the control panel.
If he can reach it, he, he..
Uh, how long have you been there?
I came in at "heinous henchmen."
Why didn't you say anything?
I wanted to see how it turned out.
Eh, very funny.
I'm sorry, Rich.
But, hey, man, it's no big deal.
Sometimes, I still pretend to be Green Lantern.
Hail, Guardians of the Universe!
+Everything's always a big joke to you, isn't it?
What?
+You know, sometimes I think the wrong guy got the powers.
Sometimes I think if I..
Never mind.
Richie, wait!
Aw, man.
"I wanted to see how it turned out.+ Yeah, more like
I wanted to see you make a fool of yourself."
He thinks he's so.. Whoa! Whoa!
Hey, are you okay? I-I didn't see you.
I'm so sorry.
That's alright, son.
What was that?
What was what?
I'm not sure. I thought--
What's so funny?
Hey, mister!
Where did they go?
Suddenly everybody's gone but me
+and the place totally gets +this haunted house vibe
so I tore out of there.
Mm-hmm.
Thing is, though, I've felt weird +ever since
that old guy grabbed my hand.
Richie, you've been weird as long as I've known you.
Want a refill on cola?
Yeah, and don't scrimp on the ice, man, it's free.
Very good, sir. Would you like
a slice of lime with that?
'Look out! Runaway truck!'
Look out, look out!
Uh, here, doggie, here, boy!
Aah!
The brake must've popped.
We're just lucky nobody was hurt.
How'd you do that?
- I don't know. - Let's get out of here.
Whoa.
Okay, bro, fire away.
- Well? - I'm trying.
Hmm. Okay, last time, you were in danger.
+So maybe if we +recreate the situation..
Aah!
- Whoa! - Wow!
You, my friend, just had a genuine superhero origin moment.
Gee, I always wanted a sidekick.
Excuse me. Sidekick?
I thought we were partners.
We'll work out the billing +later. Can you do it again?
That was cool. Try it again.
Let's see how tough it is.
I'm gonna give it a little juice.
Ready when you are, V-Man.
Ha! Is that all you got?
Cool. Wonder what else you can do.
I got an idea about that.
Woo-hoo!
Yo, V, look at me. I'm flyin'.
Yeah, great.
Woo-hoo!
Richie, you're too high.
Come down before somebody sees you.
Woo-hoo-hoo. Oh, yeah! Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Whoa. Whoa. Aah!
Hang on, man, I'm comin'.
- You okay? - I guess.
Then, what did you think you were doing? You could have blown
both our secret identities.
What secret identity? Weren't you watching?
My powers are gone.
Richie, are you okay?
I'm just not hungry, mom.
Richard Osgood Foley not hungry?
You must be coming down with something.
I-I'm fine, mom, um, but I gotta go.
I'm supposed to, uh, meet Virgil. Bye.
Where is he? Whoa!
Lookin' for someone?
Huh.
He came back, old man.
I'm glad you came back, Richie.
I had to find out about the powers.
You gave 'em to me, right?
That's right. At my age, it's rather odd
to find oneself a Baby again.
- A baby? - A Bang Baby.
However, instead of gaining powers of my own
I can only give them to others, as I did with Run and Jump.
And as I did with you.
Who are you?
My real name is unimportant.
Call me Ragtag.
From the moment I touched your hand
I knew you were special.
I could tell you have great potential.
So you can give me powers again?
Of course.
And in return for my gift, I only ask one thing
at least for now.
Promise me you will never tell anyone
+where or how you got your powers.
- I promise. - Good.
Then it's our little secret.
Aah!
Richie. Richie, come in.
Maybe he's not carrying his Shock Box.
Well, there's more than one way to make a phone call.
- Hello? - 'Hi, Mrs. Foley.'
It's Virgil. Is Richie home?
I thought Richie was with you.
Oh, yeah, right.
We were supposed to meet at the place about the thing.
'The where?'
I better get right over there before he leaves.
Great. Now I'm covering for him.
I better figure out where he is before his mom..
I told you this load was too heavy.
Okay, okay, let it down easy.
♪ Go go go go ♪
- Look out! - Oh! Get back!
It's pulling apart.
Aah!
- Whoa! Whoa! - Whoa! Whoa!
Somebody should call an ambulance.
There's help from above when push comes to shove.
- Aah! - Aah!
- Some landing. - 'What about our crane?'
Everybody's a critic.
You guys okay?
Oh, right on!
Well, I'll take that as a yes.
You saved us.
Oh, my hero.
Oh, really, it was nothin'.
Well, not entirely nothin'.
Whoa!
Oh, hey, everyone, it's Static.
He...helped me save you.
You're welcome.
- Oh, wow. - That was great.
- You were great. - You saved us.
- What's your name? - Where did you get your powers?
Oh, can I have your autograph?
Well, I..
+Much as I hate to break up this little
+meeting of your fan club, we gotta talk.
You wanna tell me what's goin' on?
Simple. I'm a superhero.
Yeah, Richie, I got that much.
Excuse me. When I'm in costume
I prefer that you address me by my superhero handle.
From now on, just call me Push.
Okay, Push, how'd you get your powers back?
And where'd they come from in the first place?
Sorry, bud. That's classified.
What? Man, this isn't like you.
The heavy 'tude, the big secrets? What's up?
Nothing's up, except me.
I feel great. Better than I ever felt.
That doesn't answer my..
Hey, does this have something to do
with that old guy you met?
It does, doesn't it?
Mind your own business, V.
- You are my business, partner. - Oh, I see.
When you're the only one with powers, everything's fine.
When I get 'em, too, suddenly it's a crisis.
That's not what I said, Rich.
Frankly, I think +this thing's getting out of your control.
I can handle it.
And I don't have to explain myself to you or anybody.
Now back off!
Aah! Unh.
Whoa! Unh!
Oh, yeah. Ha. Good.
- Booyah! - Aah.
Well, how very good to see you again, my young friend.
Oh, by the way
I heard about your little heroic exploit today.
Wonderfully done, really.
Please. I need some more.
Of course, you do.
Aah!
Huh? Unh.
That should last you long enough.
No. I need more.
'And you shall have more.'
Much more.
But first, you'll have to do something for me.
What do you mean?
I don't like this.
Relax, Push. It's gonna be a piece of cake.
First, Jump will teleport inside.
Once he takes out the alarms
+all you have to do is get the place open.
Then it's up to me to grab the loot.
In and out, quick as a flash.
What do you say?
I never agreed to steal anything.
I want to be a superhero.
Man, you can't be a superhero without powers.
We've had ours for weeks.
After a few recharges
+it feels like they'll never go away.
No one's gonna know, dude.
You do what the old man wants
you get what you want.
All that power rushing through your body
doesn't it feel good?
Come on, man, you know you love it.
No!
Can't believe I went this far!
Static's right.
This whole thing is getting out of control.
- I'm gone. - 'Too late, hero.'
There's a price for what we've been given.
We're doing this.
Wait!
Just stay out of our way.
No. I'm gonna stop you.
Hah. All by yourself?
Nah, that would be stupid.
What, what happened?
He did it, he did it!
Hey!
Aah! Unh!
What's the problem, Push?
Running out of juice?
'Cause I'm not.
Now, I'm gonna do the same thing to you.
Aah!
I thought you were out of power.
He is, but he's not out of friends.
You'll have to be a lot faster than that to beat me, slowpoke!
Thanks for the tip.
Hey, what'd you do?
I call it my Static Cling.
Boy, talk about stuck on stupid.
Whoops!
Whoa! Unh.
Done playing around?
Almost. Tag, you're it!
Aah!
Am I glad to see you.
So now you want to tell me what's going on here?
Jump? Is that you?
Oh, I'm sorry, the correct answer is Static.
But we do have some lovely parting gifts for you.
I don't understand.
Then I'll keep it simple.
I'm here to close down your little school
for delinquent metahumans.
But I..
Are you alright?
I'm perfectly well.
How about you?
Aah!
Yes, Static, it works both ways.
In a few moments, I will have drained you
of your entire life force.
No!
Let him go!
I gave you powers most people can only dream about.
+And this is the thanks that I get in return?
Hold still, you!
I don't know. Somehow, that seems like a really bad idea.
Aah! Whoa.
'Richie, please help me!'
Please, I'll fall!
Hang on, I..
You won't escape me, you ingrate!
Aah!
- V? V? - Oh.
How do you feel?
When I wake up, remind me to be very angry with you.
Hangin' it all up, huh?
Yep. I miss having superpowers, but all things considered
I think I'll stick to being a sidekick.
Glad to hear it. I feel better knowing you got my back.
Even though I was more powerful than you.
- In your dreams, Pushy boy! - Oh, yeah?
Then how come you couldn't break through my force field?
Because I wasn't even trying.
- Ha! Was, too! - Was not!
Guess there's only one way to settle this.
Man to man.
No quarter asked, no quarter given.
- You're on! - Gimme a quarter.
'Your will is strong, young bushwhacker'
+but it is no match for my thumbs of darkness!
Oh, yeah? Ha-ha-ha-ha!
- Oh, ooh! Ha-ha! - What button you pressing?
