We are the heroes.

We are the cool.

We are the heroes.

We are the young. Here we go.

Nobody wants us. It's time to break the way you are.

Everybody says we're ugly. Everybody says we're tiny and shabby. But nobody

knows we have huge passion and guts and fiery arms.

Maybe it's a rat.

Hey, dude.

What the?

Freddy!

Who's there?

What gives?

It is quicker than my axe.

What?

Stop.

Who is this weird kid?

Not a kid.

Very nice.

Good work, Camille.

Now, Camille, return.

We've got trouble!

Stop everything you're doing and watch this. Stop chewing.

Don't even breathe. Take a look at this.

The number of violent incidents involving these so -called heroes and

readers has spiraled out of control.

Today, we have with us an expert on hero books.

Firstly, thank you for having me on the program, Brad.

Secondly, are you really stupid?

They're not all criminals. There are real heroes out there doing good, saving

people. It just depends on who they're...

Reader is a term which I coined, by the way. Trademark, okay?

Yes, that's all well and good, Mr. Question. You think they're heroes?

Get real.

Look what happened at City Hall.

Never forget, these so -called readers are dangerous vigilantes and criminals.

From now on, the SFPD will treat hero books as deadly weapons.

Mark my words, if you are found with one, You will be erupted!

You heard it here first on MV News.

Hero books are outlawed.

We are in so much trouble.

Black Knight!

Owl Attack!

Gravity!

Gyrofart! Whoa, be careful, man. That's dangerous.

Hey,

don't worry.

We'll stop these criminals and get their books back.

Then they'll realize who the good guys are.

Plus, it'll get us one step closer to finding God.

Huh? Come on.

I don't want to be late for science class with Bobby.

Class, today we are studying the anatomy of the brain.

There are many fascinating areas of our brain. The temporal lobe, the occipital

lobe, the cerebellum. But my favorite part is right here, the prefrontal

Why? It's responsible for imagination.

Some people have a much more active prefrontal cortex than others. There's

a disorder called aphantasia, which causes you to have no imagination at

Nick, that's you.

Hey. Like any part of your body, you can train your brain to be stronger.

But it has its limits. The mind may be strong, but the flesh is still weak.

Speak. You found the professor's location.

Good. Then I guess I'll go pay him a visit.

There's been some pretty weird crimes reported around here.

It's gotta be someone using a hero book.

Wow. Even criminals are on Instagram these days.

Take a look at this.

There's the hero book.

Whoa. Looks like this guy's had a lot of check -ins right here at...

Well, that makes sense.

You know, on second thought, I might just stay here and gather information.

Nice try. You're coming.

Looks like a pretty normal...

Wait for me!

See? Nothing to worry about.

And you were saying?

Looks like we got ourselves a couple of rats.

Boys! Colors!

Sorry, Dad.

So, you thought two cronies could take the baloney from Two -Tone Tony, huh?

Yes. Who do you think you are? Stop! Right there.

You villain.

What is this? A group of trick -or -treaters?

I don't got no candy, kid.

Actually, I'm Super Awesome Man.

She's X. And this is... Not important.

What's important is that we're heroes.

And we're here to stop criminals like you!

All right, then. If you insist.

Chameleon, get him!

Huh,

you blocked that. Nice move.

I'm fine.

Where'd you come from?

Black Knight!

Nice dark alley.

A hero book?

Chameleon, grab it. The umbra of justice is here.

Villains can't hide their sting.

My ultraviolet flashlight.

Not a villain.

What? Where'd he go? Right here.

Brat. Gotcha.

Watch out, justice.

You think you're stealthy, lizard boy?

I am a shadow of a shadow. I am the dark side of a moon during a midnight

eclipse. I am...

Nothing.

I didn't want oxygen in my brain.

Anyway... Fencing Man!

Lucky!

Get him!

Hey, uh, come about.

What? Where is he now?

Bad dog.

Going somewhere, kid?

Gotcha.

Quit it. No chair.

Black Knight, finish him off.

Uh -oh.

Oh, gross.

No, my flannel belt.

Okay, boomer.

Hey, my mom gave me those.

It's failure.

Not a dog person, I see.

Fencing Man, Lotus Root Tentacle Attack!

You can't escape my discipline!

All right,

wrap things up, chameleon.

Okay, got it.

Sorry, Graham, past your bedtime.

Why, you little brat!

You need to respect your elders!

Hashtag good guys. Hashtag losing.

Hashtag ouch.

What do we do now? We can't fight what we can't be.

Leave it to me. Get ready to come at them with everything you've got.

Crying Man!

Hey,

Mike. Are we still going to watch a sad movie later?

Shh. Fine, man.

Yes, we are.

Big yikes, man.

Kamikaze Tsunami Tears!

Aim up into the sky!

Do not eat ears!

Missed me.

What?

Oh, my threads are drenched.

Crime Man, return!

No more hide and seek.

Locust Man, finish this!

Yes, ma 'am!

Payback for reptiles eating insects!

Put down the comic books and put your hands up.

I am just a normal locust.

Comicalize. Invisible touch.

Goodbye, fellas.

What? They all disappeared.

Drop your weapons!

Weapons? What?

The comic books?

No, no, no. We use them to help people.

This is all a misunderstanding.

We're the good guys.

Really?

Look, I'm sorry. I have my orders. Put the comic books down and come

I'd hate to have to hurt you.

I need to be heard by you.

Sox -toe, cover us!

And

they're

gone. Again.

They're the bad guys.

They act like heroes, but they're all the... Same?

I don't get it. Why are people treating us like criminals?

Right? We're heroes!

Not to them.

Lucy!

I've got to find the other good readers in the city. Then we can take on the bad

guys together.

Nick. Don't eat me, lizard man.

Nick.

I know your secret.

7 a .m. this morning.

Gotta get up and ready.

No time to eat my breakfast.

The bus is here already.
