Okay, Scott, just one more!
I can't feel my brain!
It's okay, Scott, you never had one.
This one's for you, Great-Great-Grandpa.
"Make a Popsicle stick replica of the lighthouse," complete.
Well done, Hai--
Beta, you okay?
The Professor! You're here?
Congratulations, Hailey!
You just completed your 50th list item!
All of us here in the future are so proud of you. High five!
Gotcha! I'm a hologram. We can't really high five.
Man, I wish I could see
the look on your face right now.
You must have a million questions for me.
Yes! Am I doing everything right?
What happens in the future? Is Taco Tuesday still a thing--
And while I'd love to answer everything, like I said,
- I'm a hologram, and this is a recording. - Of course, it is.
Anyway, in celebration of your amazing progress,
I have a gift for you! The first time we met,
I left something special for you in your room.
I hid it in a place I knew you would never look.
Those roller skates you begged your parents for
and said you'd use all the time.
I do use them all the time, kinda.
Whoa! It's a...
I don't know. What is it?
That orb is an all-powerful item
you invent in the future, Hailey! High five!
Gotcha! Ha! Still a hologram. That never gets old.
Anyway, to activate it, all you have to do is--
Wait! What happened?
Whoa, why is everything blue?
And why am I sticky? Ow!
No idea!
Ugh, ew, ew! Ugh! Ew!
Dang it! Now I have no idea what this thing does.
Or how to activate it.
Give it here. I can figure it out.
Hmm.
Well, I'm out of ideas.
Enough of this orb-licking buffoonery.
Let's get back to work.
It's time for list item #200:
"Get Chan Yee's autograph."
Yes!
Chan Yee is a legend among legends.
She created the greatest superhero comic-
turned-book-series-turned- TV show of all time.
I know! It's called Hero Force: Force of Heroes, and--
- I know! - Wait, you know?
Of course. I'm a huge fan.
Also, you have a Hero Force shrine in your room.
Oh, right.
This list item must have come up
because this weekend is Hero Con,
the only time all year
that Chan Yee makes a public appearance.
Let's get our cosplay ready!
Wait! The orb! It's perfect for my costume!
Uh, no, no, no. Terrible idea.
We still don't know what that thing does.
"Heroes aren't afraid of the unknown," Beta.
Issue 534, where the Hero Force visited the sideways dimension.
I know what you're trying to do...
and it worked! Time to get ready!
Heroes, join forces!
I am Futurisma, and I stand for justice!
I'm Silver Jaguar. Ra-ra-rawr!
Rawr! Yeah, that's it!
And I'm the Hangry Giant!
And these muscles aren't all padding. I'm yoked!
That's not his catchphrase!
It is now.
And now, on to Hero Con!
Five hours down!
Five more till the doors open!
Whew! It feels so good to be out in the open with this costume.
I mean, I am far from the weirdest one here.
Heh, look at this dweebus.
Hey, are you Jet Man or a tissue box?
Both!
Okay, Beta, don't abuse your cosplay freedom.
You can only get away with so much
before people start asking questions.
But it's all I could get!
We can't do anything with only three V.I.P. passes, Tia.
What about the others in our group?
They'll want to sit in the front row with us
and have all-you-can-eat shrimp.
Maybe I should rip the passes into pieces?
Ah, don't you dare!
Those passes are worth hundreds of dollars.
I guess I'll just have to go find
the three biggest Hero Force fans in this line
and beg them to trade their spot with us.
Hello!
We would be happy-- no, thrilled--
no, we would literally do anything to get those passes!
You want a thumb? I'll give you a thumb!
I'll give you both his thumbs!
And may I add, what an exquisite job you've done
with your Master Metamorphosis costume.
I don't know.
Do these guys look like big enough fans
to be worthy of our V.I.P. passes?
Please! Look, you can have our sweet spot here,
where your whole group can join you.
All right, you've got yourself a deal.
V.I.P.!
Your V.I.P. line is right over there.
Kinda weird that it's all dudes in this V.I.P. line.
But I can smell that shrimp!
We're in line for the bathroom?
Why does it still smell like shrimp?!
We got scammed!
Hey! There is no V.I.P. line! You lied!
And I'm beginning to think these passes are fake, too!
I scammed you fair and square, little girl, all right?
And there's nothing you or cat boy
or the hungry baby can do about it.
Oh, there is something we can do about it, actually.
Get justice... by tattling.
Security? We need to file a complaint and--
He really is Master Metamorphosis!
He's a shapeshifter!
Oh... [chuckles] You must think
I'm my handsome twin brother, Arlo.
No, no, no, I'm Atticus.
What happened, did my brother sell fake passes
and force you out of line?
Well, he didn't force us, we kinda told him
he could have our spot.
And he didn't sell us the passes,
we kinda begged him to trade them to us, but still!
Well, then it sounds like he scammed you fair and square!
And that means you are in possession of fraudulent passes,
so I'm gonna need you to vacate the premises.
Move, move, move, move, move.
Oh, man. This is just like Hero Force issue number 481!
439! Uh, I mean, 481!
We need to do what the Hero Force did.
Page after page of hero poses?
No! Assemble the Heroes!
We will face these bullies!
Yeah, we will!
We will reclaim our spots in line!
Yeah, we will!
And we will fight these tyrants if we must! Let's go!
- Nope, and that's why-- - Listen up!
You messed with the wrong super-fans.
Now you're gonna feel the wrath of the entire Hero Force!
Right, guys?
Guys?
Uh, we don't really do physical confrontation.
Fine. I'll do it myself.
I am Futurisma, and I stand for justice!
Look, I really need to get inside Hero Con and meet Chan Yee.
The future of the planet depends on me.
Did you hear this kid?
She actually thinks she's gonna save the world!
I think that costume's gone to her head!
Futurisma? More like Futur-was-ma!
Come on, Hailey, let's get outta here!
We can just buy some shrimp back home!
I'm gonna do something crazy: agree with Scott. Let's go!
No!
What these bullies did was wrong.
Even if we can't win, we need to fight for justice.
Hailey Banks, can you hear me?
On your left.
Heroes, Join Forces!
I didn't eat anything before this, so now, I'm hangry!
Oh! So yoked!
There are consequences to our bullying!
See? I told you the Hero Force was real, Mark!
Pretty cool, huh?
Uh, yeah! So did the orb bring the Hero Force to life?
Ha! No, these are cosplayers from the future.
Even in the way future, Hero Con's a big deal to these nerds.
I mean, "enthusiastic fans."
See, the orb summoned me when you needed help,
and these guys jumped at the chance to help the real Hailey Banks.
Wow! So the orb will summon you whenever I need help?
It would have, but you smashed it,
so looks like that was a one-time thing.
Why would you put it on your costume?
Thank you!
Miss Banks, do you think we could get a photo with you?
Um, sure!
Okay, "heroes," back in the portal.
Jet Man left the lights on in his hover truck.
And yes, Hangry Giant, I'm still buying you all chimichangas.
Yes!
Thank you so much, Professor. I owe you one.
Ooh, I'll cash in on that right now.
Get me a Chan Yee autograph, too, will ya?
I used to have one, but I spilled a smoothie on it.
I'm on it! But aren't you forgetting something?
Tomorrow's jackpot numbers?
Oh, right! So nice not to be cut-off for once! All right.
Classic Professor.
Delivery! Have a nice day.
Stupid delivery drones.
Yes! My Chan Yee autograph!
Heroes, join forces!
