Season 04 Episode 02

Episode Title:
"She-Back!"

'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.

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.

Hello,
my name is Madelyn Spaulding

and you will vote
for me for class president.

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.

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.

Of course, new powers
wouldn't hurt either.

Yo, Hot streak, knock it off.

You're making us nervous.

Too bad. It helps me relax.

Boom

Hey, I didn't do that.

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.

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?

Uhh! Ahh!

When did she learn to do that?

Uhh!

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!

They're gone.

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.

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 met a human 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?

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?

Ugh, bad enough She-Bang
keeps butting in

when we're on patrol but She nice

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, She nice.

Not Mardi Gras.

Well, it could be.

Hey, is that high enough?

- Yes.
- Yes.

I see where Shenice's circle
of influence is widening.

- 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.

Aah!

Ah!

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.

'They're here.'

Listen up, girlfriend.

If you're all that

let's see what you can do

without my help.

Just watch me.

- Uh.
- Must be Madelyn.

- Uhh!
- Uhh!

And what was your first clue?

'Hey, the gas lines.'

Uh.

Yippee-ay-oh.

Hey.

Aah.

Now don't go away angry.

Aah.

'She-Bang?'

Huh? Aah!

Uh-oh.

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.

You know,
if I didn't know better

I'd think you two
are avoiding... me.

Thud

- 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.

'But I thought
you wanted me there.'

You said you liked my ideas.

Yeah. Sure, She nice.

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 She nice, 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.

Ha! The only thing I'm gonna
change is my clothes.

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.

'I don't think so.'

Hey! Uhh!

The only act
you'll be a part of

is the final one
of Static's life.

Shenice's mom call you, too?

Yeah. I think she called
everybody in our school.

She nice has been
missing for hours.

You don't think
She-Bang would take on Madelyn

and the met a breed
by herself, do you?

Either that or join them

just to get back at us.

We got to find her.

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.'

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 met a breed

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?

Uhh! Uhh!

That's it.
You're going down, girl.

Ugh!

No-o-o!

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.

Come on, Madelyn.

Come on, Ebon.

Oh..

You owe me five bucks.

Does anyone else
have a comment?

'Actually, yes.'

Thanks for taking out Ebon.

Saves us a lot of trouble.

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.

Ow! That hurts.

Uhh.

Alley-oop!

Uhh.

Uhh! Uhh!

Tight fit?

Hyah!

Okay, backpack, go.

Gotcha, Poindexter.

That's Mr. Poindexter to you.

Anytime, backpack!

Ah!

Weather's about to change.

If I were you,
I'd start worrying

about the windchill factor.

'No way you can stop me now,
you creep.'

I'm a force of nature!

Is that a fact?

Go ahead.

I can throw back anything

you send my way, but harder.

Aah!

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.

You know, that girl

was just too pushy.

Hey, I ain't touching that one.

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.
