(Virgil) 'What did they do to Particle Man?'
Why are his powers all different?
You missed the last issue, when he flew into the nebula
it erased his old powers and gave him new ones.
Word? I wonder if bang babies could ever change like that
V, that stuff only happens in comic books
not in real life.
Well, well, Virgil Hawkins and Richie Foley.
(Richie) Aah!
Madelyn Spaulding?
What are you doing, uh..
Out of the hospital?
They say I'm okay now
but the school still won't take me back.
Well, you know, you did try to take over
the entire student body.
Yeah.
[instrumental music]
Hello, my name is Madelyn Spaulding
and you will vote for me for class president.
[feedback whining]
Hello?
Yes.
No, really, you are too kind.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Virgil, you will do as I command.
No, I won't.
Aah!
Well, everybody had been so mean to me
and then I got those amazing powers.
What did you expect?
Do you still have your powers?
Who knows?
If I do, I can't remember
how I made them work.
Is there anything you do remember?
Yeah. I remember Static.
He's the one who spoiled everything.
I owe him big time.
Um, okay.
But what about me?
What about you?
Never mind. Come on, Rich.
Gotta jet.
She doesn't remember you're Static.
Oh! How lucky is that.
[laughs]
Just like before.
Kids laughing at me.
I hate them all
and I'd do something about it, too
if I had my old powers back.
[gasps]
Of course, new powers wouldn't hurt either.
[electricity crackling]
[instrumental music]
Yo, Hotstreak, knock it off.
You're making us nervous.
Too bad. It helps me relax.
boom
Hey, I didn't do that.
[explosions]
[crackling]
Mind if drop in?
Why'd these guys have to escape
on a school night?
I have a book report due tomorrow.
There they.. Uhh.
Gear!
Uhh!
Heh! I did not give that thing a return address.
One down.
One to go.
Uhh!
She-Bang?
What are you doing here?
Uh, saving your behind.
She who?
She's an old friend.
[beeping]
Uhh!
Hello, stranger.
Hey, Gear.
Um, can we hold the class reunion
some other time?
Do I have to do everything myself?
Madelyn?
- Again? - Who?
[energy humming]
Uhh! Ahh!
[crashing]
[explosion]
When did she learn to do that?
Uhh!
[explosions]
Whoa. What if it's just like Particle Man?
When you zapped her brain the last time you fought
maybe it somehow changed her powers.
Incoming.
crash
I thought you said that couldn't happen in real life.
If you two don't pay attention
real life is gonna be over real soon.
You better work on your aim some other time, girl.
We don't need the cops on us, too.
Uhh!
Move!
[siren wailing]
They're gone.
[tires screeching]
[indistinct chatter]
So I guess you're gonna split now, huh?
Yeah. Last time you were a little shy
of the spotlight.
Hey, that was the old me.
[overlapping chatter]
Who are you?
My name's She-Bang.
Be sure to spell it right.
S-H-E-Bang.
My card. Sure to be a collectible.
- Her card? - Her card?
So what happened here, She-Bang?
There was a metahuman jailbreak.
Things got a bit heavy for Static and Gear
so I helped them out.
So does that mean that the Dakota duo
is now a trio?
Absolutely.
Whoa! Time.
Team meeting.
Well, you did promise
we could work together
if I came back to town.
- I did? - Oh, yeah.
- I did? - You did.
So why are you back in town?
The authorities captured all the goons
who were after me for my DNA.
Finally, my parents and I
could leave the witness protection program
and move back to Dakota.
Way to go.
And the best part is
I don't have to pretend I'm shy anymore.
I can be myself.
There's a scary thought.
This'll be so great.
I have so many decorating ideas for the gas station
and we should color-coordinate our costumes.
Oh! And I even thought of a team name.
SGS.
'She-Bang, Gear, Static.'
I did?
[instrumental music]
This is a hideout?
Honestly, you'll have to do a lot better
if you're going to work for me.
What?
Who said anything about..
So what exactly do we gain
by following you?
We'll be one big, happy family
and with me in your team
you'll be winners
instead of losers.
Trust me. I have a lot of ideas.
You've got a lot of mouth.
Yeah? Well, I can back up what I say.
And I'm saying if you stick with me
you'll finally see the end of Static
once and for all.
crash
Any questions?
[upbeat music]
Ugh, bad enough She-Bang keeps butting in
when we're on patrol but Shenice
won't let us alone either.
You're telling me.
She was so busy describing
the new curtains for the gas station
she followed me right into the boys' rest room.
She thought that could use new curtains, too.
Hey, guys.
We're trying to decide on a theme for this year's dance.
What do you think?
It's homecoming, Shenice.
Not Mardi Gras.
Well, it could be.
Hey, is that high enough?
- Yes. - Yes.
I see where Shenice's circle of influence is widening.
[radio chatter]
- What is it? - Picking up a police bulletin.
Metahumans at City Hall.
We gotta get down there.
Down where?
Down to the nurse's office.
Yes! We, uh, ooh
ate in the cafeteria.
Uhh. Now we know why
they call it tuna surprise.
[groaning]
[door opening]
[electricity crackling]
[screaming]
Aah!
[grunts]
Ah!
[screaming]
[explosion]
This is totally whack.
What is your problem, man?
If we're gonna do something, let's do it.
- Not just put on a show. - But Madelyn says we have to.
I don't take orders from little girls.
Uh, team, can we just stick to the plan?
I make the plans around here.
(Hotstreak) 'They're here.'
Listen up, girlfriend.
If you're all that
let's see what you can do
without my help.
Just watch me.
[rumbling]
[water gurgling]
- Uh. - Must be Madelyn.
- Uhh! - Uhh!
And what was your first clue?
'Hey, the gas lines.'
[explosion]
[laughs]
Uh.
Yippee-ay-oh.
Hey.
Aah.
Now don't go away angry.
[grunting]
[shrieks]
Aah.
[grunting]
(Gear) 'She-Bang?'
[grunting]
[grunts]
Huh? Aah!
Uh-oh.
[grunting]
Why'd you butt in like that?
I had Talon just where I wanted her.
You weren't even ruffling her feathers.
I wa.. T-that's just plain nuts.
No. Leaving me back at school.
That's nuts.
We're supposed to be a team.
Nice try, prom queen.
Now are you ready to let me run this circus?
Quiet.
I-I need time to think.
[grunts]
[screaming]
You know, if I didn't know better
I'd think you two are avoiding...me.
[grunting]
thud
[panting]
- Anybody hurt? - Nope.
We did it.
Eh! Wrong. He did it.
This isn't working.
What isn't working?
This team thing.
It's not you. It's us.
What? Why?
We're kind of feeling like we need a little space.
Maybe a whole lot of space
like a galaxy even.
But I-I just want to help.
The best way you can help, She-Bang?
Back off, okay?
Remember, you, us.
And in between?
Light years.
(Shenice) 'But I thought you wanted me there.'
You said you liked my ideas.
Yeah. Sure, Shenice.
It's just that we sort of decided on the theme
and the Decorating Committee's kind of full
so we don't really need anyone right now.
Yeah. I understand.
Whatever.
Weren't you supposed to go out with your friends?
What friends?
They only liked me when I pretended to be a dud.
They're used to the old Shenice, honey.
You have to give them time to adjust to the new one.
She's really quite wonderful, you know.
She doesn't feel so wonderful.
Just give them some time.
I'm sure you'll be able to change their minds.
[door closes]
Ha! The only thing I'm gonna change is my clothes.
[thunder rumbling]
[upbeat music]
So Static and Gear don't want to play with me.
Fine. I'll go solo.
And I'm gonna be one hard act to follow.
(Madelyn) 'I don't think so.'
Hey! Uhh!
[grunting]
The only act you'll be a part of
is the final one of Static's life.
[dramatic music]
Shenice's mom call you, too?
Yeah. I think she called everybody in our school.
Shenice has been missing for hours.
You don't think She-Bang would take on Madelyn
and the metabreed by herself, do you?
Either that or join them
just to get back at us.
We got to find her.
[grunting]
So what makes you think
this new scheme of yours is gonna work
'any better than the last one?'
We have Static's precious partner.
He's bound to surrender.
Don't count on it, creep.
Static and Gear broke off with me.
I'm on my own now.
See that?
Another whack plan.
Now what are you gonna do?
Give me some space, okay?
Seems to me you got plenty of that
between your ears.
Hey, stop.
We'll get nowhere like this.
We're nowhere already.
Listen, team, this will work.
It's just a matter of where to place the bait.
What's their problem?
They both think they're in charge.
'This is them being nice to each other.'
[grunts]
No use.
Those things are made out
of the strongest steel around.
No stronger than the leash you're on.
I'd watch that mouth.
Save it, okay?
Back when you led the metabreed
I might have been afraid.
'But now you're just some sidekick'
'who got shoved aside'
you're a joke to every Bang Baby in Dakota
and an even bigger joke to me.
Hey! Stop talking to her.
School's out, schoolgirl.
I'm running this show
from now on.
Ah!
Why does there always have to be a class clown?
[energy humming]
Uhh! Uhh!
That's it. You're going down, girl.
Ugh!
No-o-o!
[beeping]
I got backpack scanning for any pressure changes
temperature spikes
high frequency sounds.
Or we could just use our eyes.
Yes, but that would be too easy.
[grunting]
Come on, Madelyn.
Come on, Ebon.
[grunts]
[gasps]
[grunts] Oh..
[groans]
You owe me five bucks.
Does anyone else have a comment?
(Gear) 'Actually, yes.'
Thanks for taking out Ebon.
Saves us a lot of trouble.
[grunts]
Ah.
What are you doing here?
Looking for you.
It just isn't a party without you.
Static's mine.
You handle the other two.
[shrieks]
Ow! That hurts.
Uhh.
[whines]
[explosion]
[dramatic music]
[lightning crashing]
[grunting]
Alley-oop!
Uhh.
[gasps]
Uhh! Uhh!
Tight fit?
[snarls]
[explosion]
Hyah!
[explosion]
Okay, backpack, go.
Gotcha, poindexter.
That's Mr. Poindexter to you.
Anytime, backpack!
[missile fires]
Ah!
[thunder rumbling]
Weather's about to change.
If I were you, I'd start worrying
about the windchill factor.
[crashing]
[energy humming]
[explosions]
[groaning]
(Madelyn) 'No way you can stop me now, you creep.'
I'm a force of nature!
Is that a fact?
[electricity crackling]
Go ahead.
I can throw back anything
you send my way, but harder.
[thunder rumbles]
Aah!
[groaning]
[groans]
What did you..
I gave the junk a positive charge.
And that attracted the negative charge in that lightning
But I'm sure you knew that
oh, force of nature.
[sighs]
You know, that girl
was just too pushy.
Hey, I ain't touching that one.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct radio chatter]
I guess I owe you an apology.
- Well, I mean, kinda, but.. - Yeah, you could.
- Nah, it's okay. - It's alright.
So I've decided that
from now on I won't horn in on your patrols
or bug you at school or anything.
Sorry. We can't accept that.
Although I did like the part
about not bugging us at school.
Any time you want to be on the team.
You're welcome.
But you said..
We said some stuff we regret.
You guys are the absolute..
- Uhh! - Ribs.
Crushing the ribs.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sometimes I don't know my own strength.
Well, we'll be happy to remind you.
Hang on. I'm picking up a police radio call.
There's a riot at the Bogus Truth concert.
They must've played something in tune.
Ha, ha! That could get ugly.
Should we go together?
Wouldn't have it any other way.
