Hey, Richie, how many superheroes does it take
to screw in a lightbulb?
- Huh? - None.
If I'm the superhero, you don't need a lightbulb.
Hey!
I call it my nova burst. All it takes is a little wire.
Uh-huh. Well, meanwhile some of us are working on useful things.
My latest invention.
It transmits in a high-end radio frequency.
You should be able to hear it with your powers.
'Is it working?'
Loud and clear.
It's got about a 2 mile radius.
So you could trace it..
Wait a minute. I hear something else.
I think it's the police van.
- What is it? - Something about a flood?
Stay down.
Good one, Aquamaria.
She keeps this up and she's a shoo-in to join the Meta-Breed.
Time for test number two. Look.
Fun's over, wet 'n wild.
Give up or I'll send you off the block.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Shorted me out.
Hmph!
Back off, lady or you'll have to deal with Rubberband Man.
Gotcha.
'I said, let me out!'
That should do it.
She needs our help.
Unh-unh-unh. You know Ebon's rule.
- She's on her own. - You're right.
Let's get out of here.
What do you think you're doing with that money?
Returning it to the police.
Thanks, Rubberband Man.
Okay, what's wrong with this picture?
Nothing, I did my time
now I'm one of the good guys. Like you.
- There's a stretch. - It's true.
Ever since he got out of jail last month
he's been helping us.
And we appreciate it too.
Uh, not that we don't appreciate your help, Static.
Uh, yeah. Nice try, guy.
Hey, Rubberband Man!
Don't you wanna get in the pictures?
For what? He's the big hero.
'You're late. Where's Aqua Maria?'
Oh, that's a funny story, Ebon.
Why don't you tell him?
She was doing alright
then Static showed up.
Eh, here you go, boss. Double latte, right?
I got cappuccinos for everybody else, but..
On the other hand, who needs all that caffeine, right?
I can't believe he got her.
I thought her water powers would stop him for sure.
Unh-unh, boss. Static didn't beat Aquamaria.
It was Rubberband Man.
What?
Yeah, we were as surprised as you are.
Oh! Jeez, Louise. Is he always like this?
He has his reasons.
And so after Rubberband Man's latest heroic exploit
even the most jaded observers are asking..
Has Dakota's bad boy turned over a new leaf?
- 'No TV at the dinner table.' - Yeah.
Specially, when there's nothing good on.
I told you Adam was a good guy. I'm gonna go call him.
Isn't this exciting? My boyfriend's a superhero!
'I heard that!'
♪ And you know when you go ♪
You're the greatest Rubberband Man.
Thanks, I gotta get going now.
Uh, can I get one for my sister?
- Sure, what's her name? - Marvin.
- Hello? - 'Adam? It's Sharon.'
'I just saw you on TV.'
Hi, boo. Yeah, I've been on TV a lot
since I started this superhero routine.
I'm really proud of you.
They want me to appear on "Variety Night Live."
- That's my favorite show! - You would be so good!
Listen, we just sat down to dinner.
If you'd like to come over..
I'd love to, but I'm kinda busy right now.
So I hear.
Sharon? Sharon! Aw, man!
He's not worth it, sis.
I'm not so sure he's really gone straight anyway.
Please, Adam's no criminal.
He's just turning into a self-centered jerk.
You know what that's like, don't you, Virgil?
Yep. But I don't hold that against you!
Rubberband Man, we love you.
Okay, that's nice. I gotta go. Thanks.
Now, I see why superheroes have secret hideouts.
Still gotta go through all this fan mail.
Sharon! I gotta call her back.
Call her later.
What do you want?
What do you think?
I want you to run with my crew. Just like the old days
before the big bang.
Not gonna happen, we've been through this, Ivan.
We've been through that too.
- You call me Ebon now. - Whatever.
It was bad enough you had to run off and be a rock star.
Now you out there playing superhero
and turning on your own?
- It's not your business. - Is, my business.
You belong with me.
People like us, we deserve
to have whatever we want.
If we stick together, we can have it all.
Yeah? And every time I try things
your way, I end up in trouble.
Then just stay out of my way.
You owe me that much.
Hey! Woah!
Let's go!

Ah.

Well, I hate robbing joints like this. No food court.
Open it up.
I, I..
Never mind, I'll get it myself.

Hey, yo, Carmen, grab me one of those games
while you're up, will ya?
Shiv, get back to work.
Ease up, Talon, he's going for the record.
Static!
Dakota's number one superhero, at your service.
You mean number two.
You again? Listen, I work alone.
If I ever need a sidekick, I'll give you a call.
Funny, I was just thinking that same thing.
Aah!

Whoops, looks like I lost the ball.
That's okay, we can play 'with this one.'
I don't suppose anybody's up for a nice game of checkers?
- Need a hand? - No, thanks.
I always bounce back.
I told you to stay out of this, Adam.
Whoa!
Dah!

This bird girl's no nightingale.
What do you think you're doing?
What?
I can't hear you.
You'll hear this.
Batman would've had real earplugs.
After all I've done for you, this is the payback?
- When dad passed away... - Don't you mention him.
Why not? I'm the man of the family now.
Says who?
That's the way it works. We're blood.
I'm supposed to be looking after you, not fighting...
Did someone say fight? No offense, Stretch..
But a big time supervillain like Ebon
requires a big time superhero like, well..
Like me!
♪ Gotta be-be gotta be a superhero ♪
The light!
- I got this, Static. - Wait!
The light makes him lose his powers. You're blocking it.
Thanks, little brother.
Get off him! He'll get away!
I'm sorry about that.
You wanted him to escape!
You did! I thought for a second that you'd gone straight.
But you're just like them after all.
Boing boing boing.
Great.
'Security cameras captured the scene'
'as Rubberband Man's interference'
'allowed Ebon to escape.'
One is left to wonder if Dakota's newest hero
really is a hero?
Straight up, news lady.
Heroes don't let villains go on purpose.
He's still not answering.
Call a few banks. He's probably off robbing one.
Ow! When they say the truth hurts that's not what they mean!
So, V, you really think Rubberband Man's gone bad?
Or is that just your jealousy talking?
Hm, both probably.
Lights out, freaks and geeks.
I can't even scratch my back.
Oh, the inhumanity.
Yeah! Yeh-yeh-yeh!
Relax, the flea powder should kick in pretty soon.
Huh?
Rubberband Man..
Adam Evans, this is the police! Open up!
'We've got a warrant for your arrest.'
Okay, break it down!
Not here.
Put out an all points bulletin
on Adam Evans, aka Rubberband Man.
'I want as many men out there as we can spare.'
I gotta say, bro, when you're right, you're right.
They've got eyewitnesses and everything.
- What're you talking about? - Rubberband Man.
Last night he broke the Meta-Breed out of jail.
Sharon! Sharon, we gotta talk!
Man, where is she?
This is new.
Uh-oh.
- Sit down! - Sitting!
I don't wanna hurt you.
I just wanna talk to your sister.
- About this? - It ain't true!
I didn't break the Meta-Breed out of jail.
- I helped put them there! - Yeah..
I suppose you didn't help Ebon escape from Static either.
- It wasn't like that.
I saw it. We all saw it.
Look, I helped Ebon but I had my reasons.
Yeah, 'cause you're just like him.
No, because he's my brother.
- Your what? - Look.
Coming here was a bad idea.
Just tell your sister I'm sorry.
Wait!
I've been looking for you, Adam.
Figured you'd show up at your girlfriend's house
sooner or later.
- Now what do you want? - This ain't about me.
It's about you going from hero to zero is six seconds.
'Cause no one believes you.
Well, I'm family. I'm always ready to take you in.
Not getting away from me that easy.
Just hope I find them before the battery runs out.
Allow me to introduce
the newest member of the Meta-Breed
my brother, Rubberband Man.
Alright. I knew that.
I never said I was joining any gang.
I don't see where you have a choice, Adam.
Once they slap that bad guy label on you
they never change their minds.
It still doesn't make sense.
Why do they think I'm the one who broke you guys out of jail?
Here's a clue and a half for you, Stretchy.
You've been framed, like a diploma.
After you let your brother escape.
Ebon had one thing on his mind.
Springing his crew out of lockdown.
Huh?
Rubberband Man..
With his powers and a spare costume
it was easy for Ebon to pretend to be you.
That way, with the police on your tail
you'd have to join up with him. Right, Ebon?
He's lying! He's just trying to confuse you!
Hey, if the funky purple, long johns fit.
- You okay? - Yeah.
But that's it for me and bungee jumping.
Get them!
- Ebon's mine! - Wait!
That just leaves me with everyone else.
I was saving this for your boss, but since he left early..
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
you can't hit, what you can't see!
♪ Gotta be-be gotta be a superhero ♪
Gotta hide, gotta hide!
Oh, what's a guy gotta do to get out of this gang?
- Static! - Uh-oh.
Guess the light goes right through you, huh?
No biggie. You know anything about electrolysis?
If you run a current through H2O
'it turns back into hydrogen and oxygen.'
'See?'
Chemistry class is useful in real life. Who knew?
Hey! This ain't no way to treat a brother, brother.
Don't hand me that brother stuff.
You played me, Ivan.
Come on, blood is thicker than water.
And right and wrong are thicker than blood.
- Always could take him. - I'm sorry you had to.
Yeah, he had it coming. I ain't giving up on him though.
I changed my ways, so can he.
Thanks for saving me from the lava pool.
You cleared my name, we're even.
High five?
- Not funny. - Heh-heh-heh.
Is too.
Hey, Virgil. Am I still welcome here?
Sure, any friend of Static's is a friend of mine.
Don't know about my sister though.
Sharon!
Oh, it's you.
Uff, man, if I were you, I'd rather fight the whole.
Meta-Breed again than face her.
I'll take me chances. Some things are worth it.
