Episode Title:
"Power Outage"

Ugh. Virgil!

You shrieked?

You didn't take
the garbage out last night.

Is that what smells?

I figured you were
trying a new recipe.

For the last time, Virgil

you have to help
with the chores!

I do help with the chores.

No, you say you'll help

then you disappear. Poof.

Well, I wouldn't say poof.

It's more like... zoom.

Virgil, believe it or not,
I am worried about you.

You're always tired.
You're out late at night.

Young man,
I need a word with you.

Finally. Maybe now things
around here will change.

You talk to him, daddy.

This old electric razor just
doesn't hold a charge anymore.

Could you take a look at it?

Mm-hmm.

What?
You want him to fix a razor?

He can't fix breakfast.

Wait. How did you..

I, uh, just scraped some gunk
off the charger contacts. See?

Thanks, son.
Have a good day today.

And be careful out there.

Ooh!

Good news, class.

I'm returning
last Thursday's tests.

I tell you, Rich

Sharon was not gonna let up.

If pops hadn't come
in with that razor..

So? Maybe it's not so bad

that he found out about
your secret identity.

Yeah, he saves me from Sharon

and I save him a fortune
in appliance repairs.

Here you go, Mr. Hawkins.

And a surprise
for you, Mr. Foley.

Now, class, open your
books to Chapter 22.

- What's wrong?
- Shh. Later.

What is your problem?

I got a B-minus, okay?

No way.

B-minus for brain boy?

Well, lately
this brain has been

having some serious
mental lapses.

Sometimes I'm lucky
just to remember my name.

- Richie Foley!
- And Virgil Hawkins.

Didn't you say you'd help us
with the recycling campaign?

Yeah, and then
not show up? Again.

- Well, uh..
- I guess we, uh..

What is up with you two?

You say you'll help,
then you disappear. Poof.

Have you been
talking to my sister?

Virgil, we're being serious.

If our friendship
means so little to you, then..

Uhh!

Frieda, Daisy, we can explain.

We can?

What I mean is,
we're real sorry.

Well..

Hey, that sounds pretty close.

Where did they..
Ohh! Not again.

Look! It's Static and Gear.

And as usual, Virgil and Richie
are missing out.

You don't think..

Nah.

- Couldn't be.
- Couldn't be.

Thanks. I have
very delicate ears.

You're supposed
to grab the cash, mon.

What you doin'
with all that food?

I was hungry.
Is that a crime?

No, but everything
else you do is. Ha!

Need a hand?

The hands... aren't the problem.

Well, he's doing jokes,
he must not need my help.

Stay back!

What are you gonna do, sniff me?

No, smart guy. I'm gonna run.

Right.
What was I thinking?

Ohh.

I'm gonna crush you like..

Here, Ferret,
Ferret, Ferret.

'Gear, get over here!'

- What about Ferret?
- 'Now, bro.'

Whoa. What's happening to him?

His feet are shrinking.

You're not making any sense.

I don't get it, neither.

It's like Kangor
was turning... normal.

That's crazy.

It was like a monster movie..

Get up, Ferret.

I said..

Stop it, Ebon.

Open your eyes. He's..

He's becoming human.

'Just like Kangor.'

Ehh. Me feelin' kinda
light on my feet.

Better than before, when you
were light in your head.

Thank you for calling me.

Well, Dr. Todd, we figured if
anyone can explain what's up

you're the guy.

This is Kangor. He's..

Human again, yes,
and before long

the same thing will happen
to all of the Bang Babies.

Did you say "all?"

That's right,
including you and Gear.

Within a few days,
your powers will be gone.

Forever.

♪ It's alright ♪

with this met a human antidote
for several weeks?

Yes. The governor authorized
the procedure late last month.

So far, there are ten cases

of Bang Babies
reverting to human form.

But what if they
don't want to change?

Don't they have a choice?

'With a few exceptions,
the Bang Babies'

'are a menace to public safety.'

'To protect our citizens,
we had to use extreme measures.'

And how are you handling this?

I don't know.
Maybe Dr. Todd's right.

I mean, for the good
of the people and all.

But?

Pops, I like being Static.

Even with all
the Bang Babies gone

I still think I'd be needed.

How does Richie feel?

Well, he could be
takin' it better.

No!

No! No!

Hey, hey! Chill, okay?

There's no way to stop it.

I'm not gonna be
a genius anymore.

And your powers,
they're gonna..

I know, I've been feeling them

slipping away all week.

Didn't want to freak you out.

Why did they do this to us?

We're the good guys!
It's not fair!

Uhh! Ow!

Then again, if we're not
fighting Bang Babies

we'll have time to study.

Frieda and Daisy
won't hate us anymore.

Could be okay.

Do you honestly believe that?

How long have we got?

I truly have no idea.

What say we jet over
to see if the doctor's in?

Assuming we can
stay in the air.

Good point. Fly low.

Donald, I just heard from
a clinic on the south side.

Two more Bang Babies
came in, totally cured.

Wonderful.

At this pace..

- Huh!
- Hey, doc.

Remember me?
Hot streak?

Thought you'd want to
meet some of my pals.

This is Talon, Shiv..

Skip the intros, stupid.

- 'This ain't a party.'
- Who are you callin' stupid?

So... you're the one who came
up with this lousy cure.

Yes, and it's working.

So whatever you do to me
won't change a thing.

Tough talk,
but are you sure

you speak for your
homeboy over there?

Just what do you want?

You had to have some
of the old Bang Baby gas

to make up a cure.

I want whatever you got left.

In the safe, over there.

Hot streak, open it.

Open it yourself.

Didn't you hear the man?

Same thing's gonna
happen to you as Kangor

unless you do like I say.

Make me.

You're both acting like jerks!

Now, let's..

No! Not Talon!

Hey, look. It's..

- Static!
- Static!

You sure you're up for this?

No, but if we go
down fightin'

I'm glad it's against
these guys.

Oh, yeah. That's a real comfort.

- Burn 'em.
- With pleasure.

What's the deal?

♪ Oh oh oh ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

What's the problem, Sparky?
You runnin' out of juice?

Ha! Look who's talkin'.

I've seen birthday candles
hotter than you.

By the time I'm done..

...you're not gonna even be
half the superhero

you once were.

Hyah!

Then here's something
for you to remember me by!

Ah!

Get up, Talon. We gotta...

No! Get away!

I want to be normal again!

Too bad.
You're coming with me.

See? We're all going back
to the way we were.

Not me!

Hot streak!

About time.

Aah!

- Down!
- Uhh!

Grab... the gas!

Uhh! You know if the
superhero thing doesn't work out

you have a real future
in pro football.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

Dr. Todd, how's your friend?

He'll be fine.

Looks like everybody's okay.

Not everybody.

'It's like waking
from a nightmare'

and I never wanna go back.

We're glad for you, Talon.

Please don't call me that.
My name's Teresa.

Okay, Teresa,
but we need your help.

We want to know what Ebon plans
to do with that tank of gas.

We figure he's trying
to restore his powers.

It's worse than that.

He's gonna set off
another Big Bang.

Can't maintain altitude.

My magnetic power
keeps dropping out.

I know! I can hardly
control backpack.

The data comes too fast
and my brain can't keep up.

Aah!

I'm not doing too hot
on the skates, either.

It's no use.

I can't decipher backpack's
incoming police data.

There's too much.

Is there anything
you can understand?

Just that there seem
to be some met a humans

heading toward the docks.

The docks.

Where the first Big Bang happened.

I'm not waiting here all night.

- Where's Ebon?
- I am Ebon, fool.

That cure they've been
spraying is getting to me, too.

But that's all gonna change.

This here's the last can
of Bang Baby gas.

And y'all can take
a breath of it

long as you agree
that I'm in charge

of this whole crew
from now on.

No! Uhh!

Nobody quits, including you.

You're scared.

You were nothing
before the Big Bang

and that's what you're
gonna be again... nothing.

I told you to keep her quiet.

No. She's right.

Aah!

You guys really need
to oil these hatches.

Hey!

Okay. Now we run.

- After 'em!
- Don't let 'em get away!

Up there!

Where to now?

Nowhere.

In here!

- Great. A dead end.
- You got that right.

Take the gas
from the man, Hot streak.

Gladly.

Now, we're gonna lock you
in here for a while

but we'll drop in again,
soon as we got our powers back.

You mean, if Hot streak
lets you have your powers back.

Where's Hot streak?

I don't know.

He was just here
a second ago, and..

You, go that way.
You, go that way.

Find him!

Which way should we go?

Okay, then.

We've looked everywhere.

He must've left the ship.

Then search every
building around here.

Move!

Wait a minute.

Beep

'Gotcha.'

Come on, backpack,
use your drill.

Ah, it's useless.

It can't link
to my thoughts anymore.

I want that gas.

Back off, Ebon.
It's mine now.

I'm givin' the orders.

'What are you doing?'

Stand back.

Maybe I can whip up
one more blast.

One, two.. Huh?

Of course, that also works.

♪ Energize ♪

Ebon and Hot streak
set off the gas.

It's gonna fill the ship.

- You'd better get out of here.
- No kiddin'.

What do we do?

Whatever it takes to stop Ebon.

♪ Energize ♪

♪ Hypnotize ♪

Bro, you have
your powers again.

Yeah, it looks like
you do, too.

Yeah! I can interpret
the data stream again.

Brain boy's back.

Come on. We gotta find
Ebon and Hot streak.

What is that?

'Oh, man.'

It's Ebon and Hot streak.

They must've sucked up so
much gas, they fused together.

Whoa.

Thud

'Static, move!'

- Aah!
- Gear!

Aah!

I've never seen you
do this before.

That was nothing.
Watch this!

Nice work.

Whoosh whoosh

Oh, no, you don't!

♪ Energize ♪

Uhh!

Ah!

Boom

They're... gone.

Let's hope you're right.

No sign of that
two-headed nightmare.

Think it's still alive?

From a strictly
analytical perspective

that is highly
improbable, captain.

But my gut says... yeah.

Ebon and Hot streak
are still out there somewhere.

And we don't know how many
of those other Bang Babies

got a whiff of that gas.

Guess Dr. Todd will be
whippin' up another batch

of his antidote.

Only now that
I'm a genius again

I think I'll whip us up
a little cure for the cure.

Yeah. They can't get
rid of us that easily.
