Feed me. feed me. Feed me.
- Hello? - Good morning, Virgil.
Aah! You know, you gotta warn a brother
when you're gonna wear that many colors in the morning.
I left my shades upstairs.
Excuse me, but this is one of the dashikis I got
when we went to Africa.
I'm wearing it to the community center
for my new counseling internship.
Now, what do you really think?
I really think I'm hungry.
You know, Virgil, the trip we made to Ghana with daddy
gave me an entirely new outlook on life.
Oh, good for you
only what does that have to do with breakfast?
For a long time, you've chosen to dis my cooking
now I've chosen to stop making your meals.
- Say what? - Ah, that was really cleansing.
I feel empowered.
Yeah, right. She's empowered, I'm starvin'.
♪ Baby ♪
We take one lousy vacation
and suddenly Sharon is the queen of self-esteem.
V, there's nothing wrong
with being proud of your heritage.
You should research your family tree, I did it.
Rich, no offense but your family tree
is just one big potato.
You're Irish.
Wrong-o. I'm half Irish.
And the other half ...Vikings.
Oh, yes, V, my blood runs thick
with herring and sour cream.
Ah, that explains the horned helmet in your closet.
Unh.
Chill, Godzilla, watch out.
Do I look like Tokyo to you?
- You dissin' me, dawg? - Me? No, no.
I was just joking around.
Totally on me, man, my bad.
Virgil, what's happening?
Just stay out of my way, little fish.
Ah!
Did you see the size of that dude?
Looks like he's doing high school
on the ten-year plan.
Don't you recognize Marcus Reed?
That's Marcus?
He got a lot bigger.
Food must be good at juvenile hall.
Man, don't push your luck with him, V.
That is one major head case.
Hey, I could take him.
No, Static could take him.
Virgil, if he wants to keep his identity secret
will stick with sniveling and running away.
You know, you're not exactly helping me
with my self-esteem.
Hey, I do the best I can with what I got to work with.
Bang Baby.
Maybe we should call
the metahuman containment team.
Rojas, I've been on this beat
since you were in kindergarten.
I say when to call for backup.
'Packard?'
Call...for backup.
Incoming.
Burger Fool burrito?
I told you, Sharon isn't cooking.
Hm...yum.
"Contains the minimum daily requirement
of cardboard."
Eat up, it's a good source of roughage.
Hey, hit the sound.
Last night he was taken to a hospital
where a spokeswoman announced
that Officer Packard is in fair condition.
Meanwhile, investigators report
that nothing was missing from the warehouse.
Hey, Officer Packard was the cop
who busted Marcus last time.
Rich, I realize that you're smart and all
but how do you know that?
I looked it up on my new crime database
computer index.
Oh, wait, hold up!
What crime database computer index?
I cross-indexed all newspaper crime reports
from the last 20 years.
About 852 million items in all.
And it really works?
Would you ask Batman that question?
No, but he's a famous caped crusader
with his own Batmobile and Batplane.
You are a sophomore with a pocket protector.
Here's my point.
The police say the intruder didn't take anything.
Therefore, that was no robbery.
That was an ambush, and Packard was the target.
You think Marcus is that Bang Baby?
Well, this did happen
right after Marcus got out of juvenile hall.
'We now take you live to the sports arena'
'current home of the Dakota auto show.'
'Reports indicate that an unidentified metahuman'
'is rampaging through the building.'
Uh-oh.
Gee, I was hoping I'd get to see
the auto show this year.
Yeah, the perimeter's set, we're going in. Hold on.
Static, glad you're here. Who's your friend?
- Uh, this is.. - Gear's my name.
Technology is my game.
Please, take a card. Backpack.
Uh...thanks.
What's the situation?
The arena was unoccupied when that thing busted in.
Lucky for us the car show doesn't open for another hour.
Better make that two hours.
We'll find that Bang Baby faster if we split up.
Great idea. I got dibs on the foreign sports cars.
You take the SUVs.
SUVs? What am I, a soccer mom?
Uh-oh. Looks like we're after one big crash-test dummy.
- Yo, Gear, see anything? - Not yet.
'Well, from what I've seen this one's gonna be a handful.'
'Stay sharp.'
Relax, dude, I am totally focused.
They have got the proton exchange ratios all wrong.
If they just apply the law of thermodynamics
to the squared inverse of the positron sequence
then...aah!
Deal with this, creepoid!
Gotta go. Bye.
Gear, take cover. I got it.
Okay, plan B.
zap zap zap
If this keeps up, I'm gonna run out of letters.
Static!
Unh!
zap zap zap
Aah!
Static, don't move. I'll get you out of there.
Though it may take a while.
Huh?
Whoa!
zap zap zap
- Where's the beastie? - I don't know.
That car alarm went off
and then it turned and bolted out of here.
Must have known I was coming.
- Which way did it go? - It?
It...the Bang Baby.
You know, about 12 feet tall
big teeth and claws.
We didn't see a thing
What? Something that big can't just disappear.
Unless it didn't stay big.
'If I get kicked out of Dakota High'
'a judge gonna pull my probation.'
I'm trying to stay cool, but it's hard.
I mean, just yesterday, some kid starts trippin'
and dissin' me, makin' jokes.
Hey, I can relate, I got a brother like that.
People see me, they just think I'm a gangster.
Maybe that's all I am.
Okay, then, you may as well give up.
Hey, you're my counselor
you're supposed to be down with me.
I am down with you, Marcus
but if you buy into that gangster label
you only confirm other people's preconceptions.
You defeat yourself.
Yo, I didn't come up easy.
I know, and I'm sorry, but that's in the past.
'You gotta be responsible for your own actions.'
Marcus, you have a lot of potential.
You can choose to use it
or you can throw it all away.
Big news, Marcus had a job lined up at the auto show
only his bad attitude got him fired.
Wow, this guy's really clockin' the payback hours.
Oh, wait, there's more
he also used to have a girlfriend
but that is definitely in the past tense.
Which database did you get that 4-1-1 from?
Uh, I just hung around the girls' tables at lunch.
You would not believe the way they talk.
- Hi. Tamara Lawrence? - Mm-hm.
Did you used to date Marcus Reed?
Why, you writing his biography?
Uh-uh, he's been sweatin' me.
Yeah, I used to go with him.
And if I were you I'd be real careful.
'Marcus has a nasty temper.'
And since that blowup at the docks, hmph
he's been real bad.
You mean after the Big Bang?
Right, after that, if we had a fight
he'd totally lose it.
He'd get so mad, he'd just bust the door down
and run out and I wouldn't see him again for hours.
That's why I broke up with him.
Thanks for your help.
- Hey, babe. - Turn it down, Deion.
You know my ears are sensitive.
No prob.

What? Huh?
Aah!
That thing trashed my ride.
I got a $6000 sound system in there.
Well, maybe it's not feelin' your taste in music.
Uhh!
zap zap zap

zap
Anyone get the number of that bus stop?
Yo, this monster disappears faster than front-row tickets
to a Little Romeo concert.
It's got to be him, Rich, there's no other explanation.
Okay, then I think it's time for Static and Gear
to bring him in.
Uh-uh-uh, no, we need proof.
We have to definitely link Marcus
to all those attacks.
You know, Tamara said Marcus had a bad temper.
Maybe that's the key.
He was mad at Officer Packard for arresting him.
He was mad at the auto show for firing him.
He was mad at Tamara having a new boyfriend.
There's your formula.
Marcus plus mad equals monster.
If you want to make him do the old presto change-o
you gotta get him angry.
Well, that won't be hard for me.
Sharon always says when it comes to irritating people
'I'm the best there is.'
Hey.
Yo, Tamara, sorry to hear about your new boyfriend's car.
Yeah, he was, too
but he's more upset about losing that loud sound system of his.
You know, I was thinking.
Hey, maybe Marcus is the monster
'but then I figured, nah, it couldn't be.'
'Marcus isn't that pretty.'
On the other hand, he's almost tall enough
and he's definitely fat enough
'and he sure looks dumb enough.'
So, I say..
What's with you, fool?
It's bad enough you bug me in school
but now you're messin' with me in my hood.
Yeah, that's right.
What are you gonna do about it, punk?
I'm gonna knock you into a whole new zip code.
- Aah! - Huh!
Man, how mad does he have to get.
Look, it's J. Lo.
- Huh? - Where at?

Your sister is Marcus' counselor.
Well, she's doing a lousy job.
Listen, Marcus can't be the creature.
He was here at the center with Sharon
right when we were fighting that thing at the auto show.
What? Oh, man.
Too late, I got Marcus so mad
he wants to turn my face into a Picasso.
'Well, if he catches you'
'at least you know you can zap him.'
Oh, sure, and give away my secret identity.
Now there's a plan..
Um, Richie, I'm gonna have to call you back.

Rich, I'm back and I got big ugly chasing me.
Well, if it's not Marcus then why is he chasing you?
I don't know, man.
Weird, everyone Marcus has a grudge against
the monster goes after, maybe Marcus controls it.
Or maybe the monster wants everyone to think it's Marcus.
Maybe it's framing him.
Aah! Uhh!
Aah!
Whoa!
Aah!
slam
So, why aren't you going after him?
Marcus ain't good enough for you?
zap
I'm onto you, dawg.
Or should I say girlfriend?
- What you talkin' about? - 'Check it, Marcus.'
Creature feature wants you to take the blame
for all the damage it created.
What for?
Maybe 'cause you broke up with her.
Aah!
Tamara?
- That's right, sweetie. - But how..
Remember the night you broke up with me?
I went to the docks looking for you
hoping to get you back.
'You weren't there.'
So the Big Bang got you.
Yeah...but not you.
You walked away clean from me and everything else.
So you're blaming me for what happened?
Oh, yeah, before, only my heart was hurting
now everything hurts.
I try to control it, but you've got no idea
what it's like to live with a monster inside of you.
- What are you gonna do? - What do you think?
I think it's time you started singing
a different tune, homegirl.
Aah!
These won't hold me long.
Won't have to.
If you're gonna sing then what you need
is a backup band
just the thing for you and your sensitive ears.
Uhh! Aah!
Too loud!
Say what? You want me to pump up the volume?
No problem.
Sorry I had to do that but jail will be a lot quieter.
This is how we found the scene.
Somebody's gotta move that back.
Don't ask me who.
First time I ever..
Yo, Rich, we were trippin'
going after the wrong guy.
You got that right.
From now on, we have to be sure of our facts.
Don't assume anything.
Never judge a book by its cover.
- And most importantly.. - Yeah?
Bring earplugs.
Oh, my ears are still ringing
from that wall of sound.
- Right. - What?
I said right!
Ow! Okay.
Tamara said I don't know what it's like
to have a monster living inside me.
She's wrong.
The difference is you can tame your monster.
You can even make it go away, it's up to you.
Listen, Marcus, I'd just like to say
I'm sorry for dissin' you.
Well, I should hope so.
We cool?
Well, uh..
...since you are Sharon's brother.
Heh, who would have thought
for once it pays to be related to you.
What did I tell you about your insults?
I've had it. Come here.
Uh, Sharon, I would like to remind you
that there are police around.
No jury would convict me.
You got any suggestions?
- You could run. - Ooh, good idea.
Aah! Aah! Oh, stop! Aah!
