Time for a super smoothie break!

Ooh! What flavor is this?

Peaches and steam.

[steam sizzling]

Mmm! Tastes like an orchard and a sauna.

Guys, guys, someone's in trouble!

Oh, no, don't worry.

It's just steam coming out of our heads.

No, I'm talking about someone important.

Me.

The new Superhero Sizzle List came out, and I'm not on it.

That's your emergency? You fell off a list?

Hmm, fell off a list and sprained his ego.

And it's not funny, guys. Ever since we went undercover,

my fans are forgetting about me.

Don't worry, Max.

I'm still your number one fan.

And now I feel worse.

Come on, did you get into this business

to be famous or to help people?

[sighs]

-Hello...? -Hang on. I'm trying to decide.

Look, Pheebs, my fans inspire me to be the great hero that I am.

Without my legions of fans, I'm just... you.

Ignoring that.

As soon as we catch the Mastermind,

you can stop being undercover and go back to being

your desperate-for-attention self.

At least I still have my endorsements.

They're giving the gig to some supe named "Hair-cules."

[indistinct chatter]

What are all these people doing here?

Happy sandwich stacking season, guys!

Ooh, are you here to enter the sandwich stacking challenge?

You say "sandwich stacking" a lot.

Glad you asked.

Sandwich stacking is a famous sport

where you stack as many sandwiches

on your head as you can without them falling.

-Sounds made-up. -It is.

By me. Genius.

What do you get if you win? Money? A car?

Close. A sandwich named after you on my menu.

Yeah, that's not close.

Doesn't matter anyway. The record is too hard to beat.

Well, maybe if the prize was a car...

There is no car!

That's last year's winner over there

Fans?

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Hey, that's Buch!

[gasps] Those should be my fans.

Look at her cardboard cutout! [gasps]

That should be mine too.

-Live, laugh, sandwich! -[ketchup squirts]

That should be me spewing nonsense

and signing autographs.

Hey, Chloe! Hi, Max!

[indistinct chatter]

Buch, I didn't know you were famous.

Oh, it's not a big deal.

I just did the challenge last year

so I could have something that I like on the menu.

[sighs] Buch's BLT.

Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato?

No! Beets, Lentils, and Tofu!

Oh! Sounds gross.

I wanted Buch's BLT on the menu

so there was something for me to eat here

besides tots and fries.

I thought you loved tots and fries.

Yeah, but a kid can only eat so many

before they turn into one.

Well, at least that's what my doctor

slash spiritual advisor slash dad says.

Hang on.

You became a famous local celebrity

just by stacking a bunch of sandwiches on your head?

-Yep! -And...

anyone can sign up to enter?

Yeah. But everyone says

my record is pretty unbeatable.

That's why I have so many rabid Buchers.
