Original subtitles

[dramatic music playing]

[people screaming]

[police sirens wailing]

[police officer] Danger! One minute 'til meteor impact!

Danger! Seek shelter!

One minute 'til meteor impact!

Won't some superhero save us?

We need more than one. We need...

Them!

[triumphant music playing]

Thundermans, reporting for duty.

Glad they finally saw us.

Right? We've been holding this pose for three minutes.

Okay, T-Force, we got meteors, coming in hot!

Say your name and fan out.

Why do we need to say our names?

'Cause it looks great in the highlight reel.

Thunder Man!

Electress!

Laser Girl!

Kid Quick!

Thunder Baby!

Can I get a new name?

Thunder Girl!

And-- Wait, what's my cool name?

Max, flaming space chunks.

And Max Flaming Space Chunks!

All right, guys, as your co-captains,

Phoebe and I will take the first wave.

Stand by for orders.

Here they come!

- [camera clicks] - You did not just snap a selfie!

Phoebe, I know exactly how much time I have until--

Meteor.

Whoa!

[blowing air]

This one's all me! [grunts]

[blowing air]

You got incoming, Nora!

I know, I have eyes.

Laser eyes.

Stand behind me, Chloe.

Eat lightning, space rock!

[electricity crackles]

"Eat lightning," Barb? I like it!

I know, right? It just came to me!

Here comes the mama bear.

[dramatic music playing]

- Dad! - Dad!

Billy, set a perimeter.

On it!

What's a perimeter?

The thing with the cones that keeps people back.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.

- Steady, Dad. - You got this.

Welcome to Earth. Try the punch!

[crowd cheering]

Come on, guys. Let's go home.

[camera shutter clicks]

- Max, you should probably-- - You're in my light, Billy.

- [camera shutter clicks] - Max, you might wanna--

I'm kind of busy, Nora!

Are we just gonna leave without telling him?

Absolutely.

[grunts]

You guys could have warned me.

[triumphant music playing]

[meteor rumbling]

[triumphant music playing]

Ah, great day, guys!

We made the world safer. Isn't that what it's all about?

All right, Maxinators. That's today's livestream.

Sorry there was so much Phoebe! [blows raspberry]

[laughs] Stay awesome.

And don't forget to smash that heart button.

I'll smash that heart button.

- [phone clatters] - T-Force assistant?

[assistant] Generating new phone.

My turn to push it!

Billy, it's the same photo.

We don't live a double life anymore.

I know that.

Why didn't you tell me?

All right, guys,

who's excited for Family Night?

- Yay, Family Night! - Mom, sounds great.

Can't wait. Right after a quick mission review sesh.

- Oh. - Aww.

Mission review... now?

Can't it wait, Phoebe? We haven't had a Family Night

since you two brought us on to the T-Force.

Guys, it'll be quick, I promise.

There's just 27 things.

Okay, uh, Nora,

try ricocheting your eye lasers to give them more power.

Oh, like this?

Now it's Family Night!

I'll start the Thunder chili!

I'll get the scrapbook.

And I'll get the board games.

Okay, great review sesh.

[upbeat music playing]

One, two, three.

- Your turn, Phoebe. - Check it out.

This blog says I'm a cinch for "Superhero of the Year."

Skipping Phoebe. Max's turn.

Check this out. Supe Magazine just voted me

"Cutest Super Bachelor."

Skipping Max, and Chloe goes again.

Hey, Nora.

Do you want to videochat with our new friends tonight?

We don't have any friends here. All we do is fight villains.

What about those kids we hung out with last week?

That was Squid Man and his evil hench-squids.

No wonder they kept spitting ink at me.

Oh, isn't this nice, Hank?

We finally get a night of being a regular family.

Everything okay down there?

No, it's been three years

and I still can't get a good butt groove going.

[automated voice] Alert! Alert! Crime in progress.

"Crime" is a little strong.

He's just rubbing his butt into the couch.

No, Mom, he means an actual crime.

Excuse us, Chloe.

- Accessing crime lab. - [device clicks]

[giggles] That was the T.V. remote.

Okay. Latitude 19.6 degrees west,

longitude 2.4 degrees north.

Pulling up the street camera.

The Metroburg Bank.

[flames crackling]

Looks like Blue Flame's making some after-hours withdrawals.

- We better take this. - Concur.

Guys, you agreed to a Family Night weeks ago.

Let another supe take this.

Exactly. Assistant, who's on call tonight?

- The V-Team. - Ooh!

I hear they're great.

[scoffs] Access profile for V-Team.

[announcer] There's a new superteam in town.

And they're kicking some super butt!

* Fighting villains, solving crimes *

* They're the superpowered heroes *

* Who will blow your mind *

Hi, we're the V-Team. We love fighting villains...

...cleaning up after ourselves...

...and we're a rock band.

[guitar solo]

* Superheroes, rockin' band *

* They're the coolest superhero team *

* In all the land *

We approve this message because it's awesome.

[announcer] The V-Team.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

That band rocks!

I wanna buy their song!

[assistant] Adding to Billy's "Bath Time Mix."

Oh, yeah!

Guys, we're taking this mission.

I'm never gonna be the best if I let other supes

do my work for me.

Especially not some rock star wannabes

with clothes that light up.

Which reminds me: Why don't our clothes light up?

Guys, you promised us a Family Night.

- Sorry, Mom, we're the bosses. - Suit up, T-Force.

Don't worry, Barb.

They can stop Family Night,

but they can't stop the chili!

[upbeat music playing]

Okay, T-Force. Night protocol.

- Block all available exits. - Let's bring the thunder.

Remember, the sooner we're done,

the sooner we're eating Family Night chili!

Hey, Blue Flame, we can do this the easy way,

- or the-- Oh! - [explosion]

Hard way it is. Max?

Way ahead of you. To the sky!

[Max laughs]

Oh!

Anyone got a clear shot?

I sure do!

Sky selfie!

I got photobombed by the V-Team.

The V-Team?

- [rock music playing] - V-Team! Ready...

- ...For... - ...Action!

Whoa, it's really them!

Hey, guys!

V-Team, stand down. This is our mission.

You look tired. We'll take it from here.

And steal our glory? I don't think so.

Yeah, we're not sharing credit

with a bunch of light-up super-zeroes.

Nora, fire when ready.

That suit looks like it's laser-resistant.

Just do it! We are not losing this.

If the blast gets repelled, no telling where it will go.

[Max] Guys, V-Team's closing in. Quit stalling!

Nora, take the shot! That's an order!

Whoa-oh-oh!

[shouting]

- Whoa-oh! - [metal clanks]

[loud thud]

[groans]

Ow?

[dramatic music playing]

Plasma blast!

[grunting]

Villain down. No need to thank us.

Whoa-oh!

Come on, let's go.

[sighs]

Okay, so things got a little messy.

We crushed someone with a giant donut!

My follower count.

My Maximillions are down to Maxithousands!

Plus Family Night was ruined.

- Mom, this is serious. - Quit joking around!

[assistant] Alert! Alert! President Kickbutt approaching!

Oh, relax. I'm sure she hasn't heard what happened.

I heard what happened!

In light of this evening's events,

I'm afraid the T-Force is hereby...

decommissioned.

Thanks, Your Highness.

Billy, that means we're fired.

Not cool, Your Highness.

Are you serious?

But the T-Force is the most successful team

in Hero League history.

The rules say anyone who injures a supe

in the line of duty

must be fired.

But the V-Team crashed our mission.

They caught the perp!

You knocked over a two-ton donut.

Unbelievable.

Good luck finding a team that can replace us.

[rock music playing]

V-Team, reporting...

- ...For... - ...Duty.

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

They're new,

but their success has been remarkable.

And they can really rock.

Yeah, they can!

Ow! You know it's true.

Thundermans,

we have some mighty big super-shoes to fill.

Come on, team. Let's help them pack their junk.

- Oh, hold me back. - No, hold me back!

I'm sorry.

Turn in your supersuits and be out by noon tomorrow.

But where are we supposed to go?

We're back in Hiddenville, baby.

[Thunder monitor] Alert! Alert! Welcome home, Thundermans.

Would it have killed you to say goodbye?

I can't believe we're back.

I know, it looks exactly the same.

Right? It's like we never left.

- It's more like we left... - Kicked butt for three years.

...had a mission ruined by superjerks.

- Got fired. - Came back to wallow in shame.

Okay, you two, maybe it isn't ideal,

but at least we're still a family.

Just try and make the best of it.

Stop mocking me.

Come on. Let's go shopping for high school clothes.

We're going to high school?

Yeah, we finally get to be around other teenagers.

And get a well-rounded education?

Who cares?

Oh... I missed you, old friend.

Hank, do you and your butt groove want to be alone?

For a few minutes, Barb. Thanks.

[laughs] I'm kidding, of course.

I'll see you later.

- What do we do now, Max? - Never use the couch again?

No, I mean this. It's all so weird.

If we're not superheroes anymore, who are we?

We are superheroes, Phoebe.

Remember, we still have our powers.

[spits] That's really old.

I still don't get it.

We never summoned the V-Team. Why'd they even show up?

[groans]

Phoebes, don't worry about the V-Team.

They're already regretting taking our jobs.

Because they know they can't live up to our legacy?

No, because I put glue on all the toilet seats.

One good thing about getting fired?

I have my own private lair again.

[pop music playing]

So the dog says,

"Flea shampoo? I didn't even know they had hair."

[all laughing]

[squeals]

[chittering] Human! Run for it!

Hey, come back. The party's just started.

There's no humans here.

Hey, Colosso.

Aah! Max!

What are you doing back?

[sighs] We got replaced.

What?

Who could possibly replace Max Thunderman

and his annoying family?

These three supes called the V-Team.

Hey, Max, I was thinking--

Colosso?

Hey! It's Phoebe!

Listen, I heard what happened,

and I want you to know, well,

I'm here for you.

Eww.

Yup, felt gross to me too.

Anyway, I was thinking about what Mom said,

about making the best of it,

and, I mean, superheroes help people, right?

So I'm gonna figure out how I can help people

here in Hiddenville.

[clears throat] Loser talk!

Excuse me?

You guys have superpowers.

You should use them to incite fear and terror!

Hmm. You mean, like this?

See, she gets it.

You're right, Colosso,

I am gonna use my superpowers.

To incite fear and terror?

To get a job.

Need to make some money to rebuild the Max brand.

What do you guys have against fear and terror?

[upbeat music playing]

Making waffles on a school day.

Really takes me back.

We may not be superheroes anymore,

but we're still super parents.

Morning! No time to sit.

These look great. Thanks! Got to go! Bye!

Whoa, slow down. What is the big rush?

We have friends to make.

Do you have everything you need for school?

Cool teen clothes to fit in with our peers.

Some surefire conversation starters.

"That new band is fire."

"Parents, am I right?"

And a hundred sticks of beef jerky.

Nothing says friendship like cured meat.

Any pens, notebooks? Maybe a ruler?

- Dad, it's not about that. - Nora!

You want a bow for school?

No, thanks!

It's like they don't need us anymore.

Thank goodness our baby still needs us.

Yeah.

There's our little fifth-grader.

Oh, she's got her backpack and her--

- skateboard? - Skateboard?

Max gave it to me.

Now that we're not superheroes anymore,

I can do all sorts of fun stuff without you guys protecting me.

Did you hear that, Hank?

Chloe doesn't want us to protect her.

She doesn't need us anymore either.

I'm frightened, Hank.

It's okay, Barb,

maybe it's time for Mommy and Daddy bird

to step aside and let our baby birds

fly.

[sniffing]

She's using the toaster unsupervised.

Oh, not on our watch!

[upbeat music playing]

Parents, am I right?

Oh, hey, look. It's that Principal Bradford guy.

Well!

You must be our two new students, huh?

Let's see here. We got Billy and Nora

Thunderma-- [screams]

No! [inhales sharply]

Are you kidding me?

Are you two the siblings of...

those other ones?

Oh, you mean Max and Phoeb--

Don't say their names.

Those two delinquents ruined my life.

You seem fine now.

When they left town,

it was like a cloud was lifted.

I stopped sleeping at the school,

got back together with Janet,

and I grew this awesome ponytail.

Hey, boss. P-tail's looking tight!

Thanks, dawg, just had it blown out. [laughs]

So what'll it take to keep you two away, huh?

Money, candy, fake I.D.s?

We could just stay out of your way.

Oh.

Playing the long game, huh?

Arrgh! That's just what they would do!

Move. Now. Move!

Time to make friends.

Remember, don't use our powers.

We want people to like us for us.

Right.

We heard your last name's Thunderman.

- Do you have superpowers? - I sure do. Check it out!

- No way! - [kids gasp]

Did you see that?

Nora, I thought you said don't use our powers.

I know, I panicked. I really want friends.

Hey, check it out.

- Cherry! - Phoebe!

[both squealing with joy]

Reunion selfie.

[camera shutter clicks]

I missed you so much.

Me too.

I've been auditioning new Phoebes,

but no one's working out.

Good one.

Harriet, I told you no.

[sighs] I'm so sorry you lost your job.

Oh, it's okay. I'm fine.

Fresh start.

I wanna get a job.

One where I can still help people.

I have a job where I help people all day.

- You work at Splatburger? - Uh-huh.

Can we get our check?

It's on the house.

Oh.

I don't even know what that means!

It means you got a lot of happy customers.

O.M.G., I have the best idea.

You should work here with me!

Ooh, you want me to work for Mrs. Wong?

It's okay, she's completely different now.

Phoebe Thunderman?

Hi, Mrs. Wong.

Oh! This brings back so many

bad memories.

[quietly] I thought you said she was different now.

I meant she lost the accent.

[whispers] She's still really mean.

Mrs. Wong,

what do you think of the idea of Phoebe working here?

I'd love that!

- You would? - Yes.

I'd have a famous celebrity working in my restaurant.

And you'd be humiliated. [laughs]

Yay!

Come back to the kitchen and I'll show you what to do

when the raccoons get into the tater tots.

It's so sweetcheous you're back, Max.

Thanks, guys. Stoked to rejoin the band.

And sorry you had to fire your old lead singer.

Ah, don't sweat it.

Grandpa Giddy understands.

Curse you, Max Thunderman!

[device beeps]

Ah, I miss this terrible food.

Careful, Max,

Wong installed microphones at every table

to shut down complainers.

[Mrs. Wong] Oh, you don't like the fries?

Then say bye to your fries!

So, Wolfgang, what are you up to?

Wolfgang.

That's what I thought.

- [cellphone ringing] - Is that your mom?

Tell her I'm still single.

Still not cool, Gideon.

Probably a customer for my new business,

"Superpowers By The Hour."

I put up flyers all over town.

Yeah, this is Max.

I'm available. How's 2:00 p.m.?

- [electric crackle] - Take that!

[ominous music playing]

Oh!

Ugh!

I'm such a butter-claws.

I've got visitors for Dark Mayhem,

King Crab, and the other guy.

Strongdor have name too!

Hey, Leon, think fast!

- [electricity crackles] - [laughter]

Thank you, guard, we'll take it from here.

Listen up, villains,

we're in charge now, so show a little respect.

What happened to the Thundermans?

Those second-rate cape jockeys?

We kicked 'em to the curb and sent them on their way...

Dad.

I told you our kids wouldn't let us down.

Now please, take off those hideous disguises.

Hey! Him Strongdor son!

Oh, I just can't get over it.

You all look so tall and evil.

Stand up straight, pumpkin.

O.M.G., Dad. Cringe.

I'm not a kid, I'm a full-on princess.

Looks like Dark Mayhem, Jr.,

forgot his cape and mask.

I don't do capes, Dad.

And this ocular blaster's lit.

But I wear a mask.

Yeah, and no one knows what you're saying half the time.

You're like, [muffled speech].

What?

Guys, guys, this is a prison cell.

Let's keep it civil.

Now where are the Thundermans?

Back in Hiddenville.

They were positively gobsmacked.

Wife send boy to fancy boarding school.

Now him talk weird.

Excellent.

With the Thundermans out of the picture,

you can release us and we can finally

resume our evil plans.

- Yeah, about that-- - Show 'em what we've got, boys!

One, tap into everyone's landlines

and transmit the hypnotic message for them to obey us.

[whispers] What's a landline?

Two, invite every superhero to an outdoor Macarena contest--

Yeah, we get it. You're old.

Look, here's the thing,

we've decided to do our own plan.

We're totes gonna create a worldwide army of supervillains.

With a secret item the Hero League

has been guarding for over 100 years.

Oh, do you hear that, Strongdor?

There's a secret item.

It's cool, guys.

We'll just do our plans when their dumb one fails.

[laughing] Whoa!

- [grunts] - Listen up, boomer.

You had your chance and you blew it.

Now it's time for me to make a name for myself!

Your name's literally Dark Mayhem, Jr.!

Come on, we're out of here.

- Nepo baby. - What?

N-Nothing.

Wait, aren't you going to let us out?

O.M.G, Dad, it's not always about you.

- Let's bounce. - Cheerio!

[Dark Mayhem groaning]

Thanks for the ride home, Cherry.

Any time. Being seen on the Splat Scooter

really ups my cool factor.

So, how was work?

Fantastic. How about yours?

Awesome.

[in unison] We have to get our jobs back! I know!

Mrs. Wong made me use my freeze breath

to make burger grease slushies.

Mr. Fustarellio made me use my heat breath

to make homemade candles.

- That doesn't sound so bad. - From his ear wax.

We have to convince President Kickbutt to hire us back.

How? She fired the entire T-Force.

True.

But she didn't fire...

the Tree Force!

You want us to fight crime dressed as apple trees?

Yes! We'll have cool, apple-based weapons

and nicknames. Dad, you're "Red Delicious."

- Mom, you're "Pink Lady." - Can I be "Granny Smith"?

You just made the Tree Force!

You guys seem a little desperate.

- Uh-huh. - You think?

We just can't give up this easily.

Can't you talk with President Kickbutt and reason with her?

Yeah, how do you guys stand not being superheroes?

Actually, you guys may not want to hear this, but...

we don't wanna be the T-Force anymore.

Because you want to be the Tree Force, right?

Right?

No, because you guys were kind of tough to work for.

Between Phoebe's obsession with being the best

and Max's with being the best-looking,

you forgot that we are a family.

What are you talking about? We spent 24/7 together.

We spent 24/7 with Thunder Girl and Swoosh Boy,

but you had us work all the time

so you could get more superhero glory.

This is crazy. You guys miss being superheroes, don't you?

It feels nice to finally make friends.

I got invited to the skate park tomorrow.

- What? - What?

First the avocado toast, now this.

All right, well, maybe you're all done being superheroes,

but we're not.

Some of us have some self-respect.

Come on, Max.

[sighs] How can they say we don't care about family?

We're the ones who hired them to be on the T-Force.

I know. And your need to be the best helped make us successful.

- Thank you! - Even if it was annoying.

Thank you. Wait, what?

Well, like they said...

you could be a little demanding.

How am I demanding?

I demand you tell me how I was demanding!

Hey, they said it.

I'm just agreeing a thousand percent.

[scoffs] A least I cared about my job.

All you cared about were your followers

and how your swoosh looked on the cover of Supe Magazine.

[gasps] She can hear you!

Don't listen to the mean lady.

You know what?

Maybe the T-Force is over.

I'm gonna get my job back by myself.

From now on, call me the "Pheeb Force."

Fine. Then I'm getting my job back by myself.

Dweeb Force.

How did I not see that coming?

- [song playing] - * Superheroes, rockin' band *

* They're the coolest superhero team in all the la-- *

[screams]

What are you doing?

Uh, not rocking out to the V-Team's terrible song?

Those light-up-pajama-wearing posers?

Whatever.

You know, Max,

these V-Teamers look familiar, like I've met them before.

And how would you have met them?

They're superheroes, you're a supervillain.

Unless... they're not superheroes.

Give me that.

What-- What are you doing?

Running their images through a facial recognition app

to see if there's any pics from their past.

- [computer beeps] - I got a hit!

Looks like a picture of them at summer camp eight years ago.

The girl has a crab claw.

Max! That's how I know them!

I was their counselor at Camp Evil Weevil!

- What? - They're the kids

of Dark Mayhem, King Crab, and Strongdor.

So the V-Team are villains?

Posing as heroes to do their evil

from inside the Hero League.

And if I expose them,

then President Kickbutt will fire them and take me back!

Where's my old supersuit?

Your supersuit? Uh...

Is that it in your cage?

I just used it as a soothing blankie.

But you might want to pop it in the wash.

Yuck!

[sighs] I better hurry up and expose them

before Phoebe figures it out.

[laughing] Yeah, right!

Like she's smart enough to figure it out on her own.

[both laughing]

Camp Evil Weevil?

[gasps] The V-Team are villains!

[gasps] The "V" stands for "Villain."

Better act fast before Max finds out.

Time for Thunder Girl to get back her J.O.B.

Dweeb Force, away!

Dangit! Now I'm saying it.

[upbeat music playing]

Can you heat up my pizza, Nora?

Sure, Jonah.

Can you laser a "Z" on my locker?

No problem, Zoe.

That's so cool.

Hey, I'm Billy.

You want some beef jerky?

I guess we're going with powers.

I'm Billy Thunderman,

the fastest dude on Earth.

- [students ooh and ahh] - Billy, what are you doing?

Who wants to see my powers in action?

Can you get me an Italian ice from Italy?

Can you super-speed to the top of Mt. Metroburg?

No way! Look!

So, what else do you guys want?

[lively chatter]

Billy, you're stealing all my friends.

I'm just doing what you're doing.

Well now, I'm doing this.

Ow!

[dramatic music playing]

What in Aunt Sally's Clam Shack is going on here?

[gasps]

[shouts] No!

- Oopsie. - Oopsie.

Don't look at me.

I'm hideous!

Oh, we've been looking for hours.

The secret item isn't here.

It has to be here!

The ancient Hero League book says it's guarded

by the League's longest-serving hero,

and that's Thunderman.

Ermahgerd, can you guys mute it?

I'm trying to concentrate.

You could help, you know.

Mm, ransacking's a lot, and I'm a princess.

[laughs] Of what? Freak Claw Island?

Of kicking your fake British butt!

Guys! Guys!

Let's settle this like we used to at Camp Evil Weevil.

[both] Not rock, paper, lasers!

Too late! Rock, paper, lasers...

Ow!

Now keep looking!

[spy music playing]

[soft beeping]

[spy music continues]

Oh!

- Shh! - Max, what are you doing here?

Stopping the V-Team without you, so beat it.

- No way, you beat it! - No, you beat it!

- [thudding] - Someone's coming, let's go.

Ah-ha! I found something.

Keys to the Hero League mega yacht.

- We had a mega yacht? - Shh!

Key card to the designer utility belt closet.

We had a designer utility belt closet?

Shh!

Hello!

[upbeat music playing]

- Is that Blobbin? - Yup, right on time.

[laughs] Great! With that helicopter,

we can spy on Chloe while she skateboards with her friends.

You mean, lovingly watch her and be the protective parents

that she still so clearly needs.

Yeah, what you said.

Thunderfam!

[giggling] Bring it in, you two.

- Oh! - Thanks for coming, Blobbin!

Oh, of course! When my family says they need a helicopter,

they get a helicopter.

Oh!

The T-11 Blob-copter is perfect

for saving that stranded bald eagle family.

- Saving the-- - Yeah...

that's what we're using it for, Barb, remember?

We'll return it good as new.

Oh, no! It's a gift.

I have eighteen more. I'm very rich.

Yes, I recall.

Oh! There's my ride back.

It's our latest model, completely pilotless.

Pilotless? Isn't that dangerous?

Oh, no, Barb.

Safety comes first at BlobCo.

See, first we drop the ladder...

- Oh! - And then,

I have fifteen seconds to climb on board

before it flies away. [giggles]

Oh, give the family a great big hug from Cousin Blobbin.

Will do! Thanks, Blobbin!

- Bald eagles, Hank? - Want me to tell him the truth?

That we're spying on our own daughter?

My foot's stuck!

You're probably right. He wouldn't understand.

Let's go check out our chopper!

Hank? Barb?

Hank?

Guys?

Help!

[screams]

So far, so good, Barb!

Chloe's got her helmet on

and has no idea we're watching her.

You know, we really should consider

writing a book on parenting.

Too busy!

Chloe needs us 24 hours a day.

Yeah, of course. What was I thinking?

[cellphone buzzing]

Hey, Cherry. Yup, send 'em on up.

What was that about?

Oh, I ordered some Splat Shakes.

Cherry's delivering them with Mrs. Wong's splat-a-pult.

Hank.

Two strawberry Splat Shakes, traveling!

Oh! Ah!

Hank! What did you do?!

They came at me so fast, Barb!

Hank, you short-circuited the steering.

We're gonna have to make an emergency landing.

[both screaming]

[helicopter whirring]

[loud crash]

[Hank coughing]

Mom and Dad?

Chloe! Wh... What a surprise!

[nervous laughter] Look, Barb.

- It's Chloe! - Oh!

Hey, Chloe!

- Are you guys okay? - Oh, yeah!

We're taking the Thunder Copter out for a little spin.

- R-Right, Barb? - Yeah, hey, we're all good.

Just resume your unmonitored skateboarding.

Were you guys spying on me?

Wh-- Wh--

What?

No, we are not spying.

This is so embarrassing.

Can't I even go skateboarding with my friends by myself?

You're such helicopter parents.

We are not.

You're holding a piece of helicopter.

Oh, uh...

well, that is easy to explain.

Um, you see... Um...

Your mom did it!

[grunting]

[sighs]

Well, this is a nice surprise.

So, I guess you know our secret.

That you're weird and lame? Not a secret.

No, that we're the children of--

Dr. Mayhem, King Crab, and Strongdor?

Also not a secret.

Dang it! Stop knowing things!

We also know you framed us and stole our jobs.

Tell us why.

To get our hands on something the Hero League

has been guarding for over a hundred years.

The Power Plant!

- The what now? - The power who?

Don't pretend you don't know about the Power Plant.

I'm still mad no one told us about the mega yacht.

And the designer super-belt collection.

Oh, girl, it's so dope. I'd show it to you,

but we're probably gonna torture you or blast you into space

- so what's the point? - Enough!

Tell them about the plant.

According to Ye Olde Book of Powers,

all of today's superheroes and villains

can trace their DNA back to a few ancient villagers,

who ate the seeds of a mysterious plant,

giving them superhuman powers.

How are you British?

The Hero League has been secretly guarding it

for centuries.

Because in the wrong hands, a person could create

a super-powered army to do their bidding.

So how long were you stuck to the toilet seats?

Two days!

Now tell us where the Power Plant is,

or the swoosh gets it!

Not the swoosh! Not the swoosh! Please!

See, now you know we're telling the truth.

He'd give up his own grandmother to save his swoosh.

I guess Thunder Man knows how to keep a secret.

Looks like we'll have to get it out of him ourselves.

So, what do we do with them?

We'll take them to the Mayhem Cafe.

Mayhem Cafe. Doesn't sound so bad.

[dramatic music playing]

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Yeah, sometimes.

Welcome to my dad's old lair.

An homage to his hatred of the Thundermans.

Oh, how he longed to trap you all in this booth

and inflict its torments on you.

And we had my birthday parties here.

[laughs] Those parties were smashing!

You'll never get away with this.

Our family will come looking as soon as they realize we're gone.

Oh? Did you tell them where you were going?

I knew it.

Families are just a burden to talents like us.

But don't worry,

we'll say hi for you.

Fire up the jet!

Destination: Hiddenville!

[electricity whirring]

[dramatic music playing]

[automated voice] System online.

Max and Phoebe Thunderman detected.

Loading personalized tortures.

Tortures?

Like being trapped in here with you isn't torture enough?

Greetings, Max and Phoebe.

Dark Mayhem? Let us out!

Yeah, unlock this thing!

Welcome to my pre-recorded guide

to your torment session.

Say "yes" to continue.

- No! - No!

Great. Let's begin.

Phoebe,

you've tangled with some monstrous villains in your day.

But are you prepared for the horror of

Max's old gym socks?

[choking]

So this is where my socks went!

[gags]

It smells like wet dog dipped in hot trash.

Come on, it's not that bad.

Let's add some lightning to the mix.

Uh, what?

- [electricity crackling] - Ow! Ow!

- Ow! - No! Ow! Oh, my butt!

Ah! Ah!

Max, your threshold for pain is high,

but can it withstand

Phoebe's middle school valedictorian speech?

[Phoebe] And so, as we embark on our next chapter of life...

Ugh! Can I do more lightning instead?

...let's thank the teachers who helped us on our journey.

Mrs. Cunningham, who taught us to love calculus.

[Max] Oh!

Turn it off!

Monsieur Dworkin, who made us say "oui" to French...

[shouts] No!

[upbeat music playing]

How was your day at the skatepark, Chloe?

Mom and Dad spied on me from a helicopter.

Then crashed in front of all my friends. How was school?

Nora and I used our powers to compete for friends

and then we seared off the principal's ponytail.

- Good talk. - Yeah.

Kids, have you seen Max and Phoebe?

They've been gone all day.

Did you try using binoculars?

I told you she was still mad.

- [aircraft approaching] - What's that?

It sounds like the Thunder Jet.

Alert! Alert! V-Team approaching.

V-Team? What are they doing here?

Maybe their band is playing Hiddenville!

[flames crackling]

Lasering the lock?

Classic rock star!

Nobody move!

- [cries out] - Dad!

That's the V-Team?

Yup, it sure is.

Hey, guys, it's your old camp counselor,

Dr. Colosso.

Dr. Colosso was a human

with beady eyes and sweating issues.

And you used to have freckles. What's your point?

Hand over the Power Plant, Thunder Man!

- Power Plant? Never heard of it. - No?

Maybe this will help you remember.

[both screaming]

- Bees, they're everywhere! - Make it stop!

My babies! Hank!

Please, give them what they want.

If I do,

will you tell us where Max and Phoebe are?

Of course.

[ominous music playing]

[device powers on]

[rapid beeping]

What is it, Dad?

Something I vowed to protect forever.

Look at it!

Each red pod teeming with seeds,

enough to make ten thousand supervillains!

What if it's a fake?

Good point.

Better test it.

Who here doesn't have superpowers?

- [chittering] - Nutty!

I told you to stay in the lair.

[chittering]

You fiend!

He's just a dumb squirrel.

[ominous music playing]

Did I say dumb? I meant really cool.

Whoa!

Mad squirrel!

Gah!

- Yup, it's real. - To the jet!

Wait, what about Max and Phoebe?

You said you'd tell us where they are!

[Krondor] We're villains, we lied!

[evil laughter]

I can't wait for their new album.

Hank, what do we do?

I'll follow their jet and hope they lead me to him.

Thunder Man, away!

[crash]

Alert! Alert!

Sensors indicate a dome-like structure

materializing over Hiddenville.

A dome? Do they have that power?

[clank]

[Hank screaming]

Daddy go boom.

[foreboding music playing]

Aah! Bees, they're everywhere.

Make it stop!

[both shouting]

Where'd they go?

That concludes the simulated bees portion

of the torture program.

Simulated?

They seem so real. [spits]

[buzzing]

Well, this was fun.

On to the final phase of your session.

Please choose from the following options.

Say "one" to meet a slow and painful demise.

Say "two" to be set free.

- Two! - Two!

You have selected "one."

Initiating now.

- Whoa! - [liquid gurgling]

- Max, what is that? - I'm not sure.

I'll try to freeze it.

[blows air]

Nothing. I'll try heat breath.

[blows air]

Liquid mercury,

impervious to heat and freeze breath,

is now filling the tank.

In twelve minutes it will fill completely.

Goodbye, Max and Phoebe.

[maniacal laughter]

[sighs] The glass is unbreakable

and the mercury's impervious to our powers.

Max, what about our twin power?

Ew! You want us to hold hands?

Would you rather drown in liquid mercury?

Kind of.

Fine, all right.

[Max grunts]

- [sighs] - Didn't even crack it!

Maybe this really is the end.

Yeah.

Phoebe, I want to apologize.

Yeah, "Dweeb Force" was kind of hurtful!

No, not that.

I meant, my quest for fame,

it was selfish and annoying.

Oh. Max, it doesn't matter now.

No, I want to explain.

The reason I wanted to be famous was because...

because I know you're a better supe than I am.

What do you mean?

See, I can never work as hard as you

and make all those amazing plans.

I thought, if I couldn't be as good as you,

maybe I could be more famous.

That's funny.

The whole reason I wanted to be the best is because of you.

What do you mean?

I mean, when you were evil, it was easy

to be Mom and Dad's favorite.

Then you became this great superhero

and I didn't feel as special.

I thought maybe if I could be the best supe ever,

I could get that feeling back.

No wonder our family hated working with us.

We were just thinking of ourselves.

I know, we've both been a couple of total

party favors.

I would have gone with "jerks" but...

No, Max, look. A leftover party favor bag

from one of Mayhem Jr.'s old birthdays.

You know what supervillains give as party favors?

- Dangerous things. - Uh-huh!

Maybe our telekinesis can reach.

Jackpot! Let's see what we've got.

- Brass knuckles. - A vile of poison.

Exploding sushi refrigerator magnet!

Hello!

I bet the fish eggs contain nitroglycerin.

Hang on, this might get messy.

[explosion]

We did it!

Dark Mayhem could never outsmart us.

- [alarm blaring] - Unauthorized escape.

Instituting emergency protocol.

Lair will self-destruct in 20 minutes.

Unless he rigged his lair to blow up.

[dramatic music playing]

Here, Hank, it's a bag of frozen peas.

Oh, thanks. I'm starving.

They're for your head.

Boy, that must have been some hit.

The dome's too strong, Barb.

Chloe can't even teleport out.

Hey, look what I found.

A blue seed pod?

Must have fallen off the Power Plant when the V-Team ran out.

If the red ones make supervillains,

do the blue ones make superheroes?

They do. Wait a minute.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

[Billy's voice] Don't panic, Billy, you got this.

It's just a simple yes or no.

You have half a chance of being right.

Albuquerque!

Hank, where is the nearest place

that the dome touches the ground?

Uh, the city limits in Hiddenville Park.

Kids, gather everyone we know

and meet us in the park.

Tell them we need their help to save Max and Phoebe.

- Right. - Right!

Albuquerque!

[roaring]

Hello, Animal Control?

I am a human homeowner

with a bit of a squirrel problem.

Is it urgent?

- [roaring] - [yelps]

Yeah, you might say that.

[whimpering]

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me. Thanks for coming, everyone.

What's this all about, Thunderman?

I'll tell you what it's about.

These super-dummies are back for two days

and suddenly we live in a snow globe.

I don't have time to explain,

but Max and Phoebe are in mortal danger.

They need your help.

Dude, say no more.

- I'm in. - Me too.

Anything for Barb.

Why should we help Max and Phoebe?

They're so annoying!

Yeah, their mini-me zapped off my ponytail.

And now Janet says she wants to...

[tearfully] take a break.

Come on. Let's go!

Hey! Listen up.

Max and Phoebe have always been there for you guys.

Don't you even remember?

I do.

Like that time they saved the prom.

And kept that Candy girl

from turning the town into mindless zombies.

Oh, I was gonna say the prom one,

but there's probably others.

So now it's your turn to help them.

So quit being a bunch of weenies,

and get with the program.

[sighing and grumbling]

Fine!

Whatever!

I don't have a ponytail anymore, so who cares?

So what do you need from us?

I just need you guys

to open up your mouths

for the next few seconds.

I knew they'd make it weird.

Ready?

[gulp]

[all coughing]

Another Thunderman floppo.

Well, back to my horrible life.

[fabric tearing]

What the-- My pants just ripped!

Aah!

Ah!

Holy handballs, I'm huge!

And blue!

I have an iron fist!

Oh! My fingers shoot pretty sparkles!

Ah! I'm a human tornado!

[roaring belch]

I have awesome power burps.

- It worked! - Okay, everyone,

we need to concentrate our powers on the dome

and try to bust it open.

Come on, everyone gather. Gather! Good.

And... Hit it!

- [electricity crackles] - [belching]

[belching]

I think it's working!

[explosion]

Guys, we did it!

[Hank] Thundermans, assemble!

Chloe, do you think you could teleport us all

back to Metroburg?

I think so. Everyone hold hands.

[alarm blaring]

Self-destruct in 45 seconds.

Max, I found the keypad to the security system,

but it requires a password.

I'll try "evil."

- [keypad beeps] - Nothing.

Try "Beyonce." Who doesn't like Beyonce?

[keypad beeps]

[sighs] Still nothing. Plus, I feel dumber.

Twenty seconds.

Any chance this is just a horrible dream?

We'll know in eighteen seconds.

- [triumphant music playing] - There they are!

This place is about to blow up. We don't know the password.

What? Grab our hands. We'll teleport out of here.

We can't! It takes me a minute to recharge.

- Five... four... three... - Password, huh?

- ...two... one... - Think I might know it.

System punched. Sequence canceled.

- Oh! - Yeah!

Dad, you did it!

But how did you guys find us?

Well, it was the only building in town

with a neon sign saying,

"Die, Thundermans, die," so.

Guys, why didn't you tell us the V-Team were villains?

We should have. We were so desperate

to get our glory back, we weren't thinking straight.

We totally get why you didn't want to work with us before.

Could you ever forgive us?

Let me guess, you thought you were gonna die,

admitted a bunch of personal stuff to each other?

- Exactly. - Pretty much.

Yes, of course we forgive you.

But, guys, we have to stop the V-Team

from creating an army of villains.

They got the Power Plant? We have to find them!

Well, if I wanted to rain seeds down on everyone,

I'd start at the highest point in Metroburg.

Where's that?

You know this, Billy.

It was on the sign that you got for that kid.

Think.

Think!

The highest point in Metroburg is Mt. Metroburg,

with an elevation of 14,220 feet.

Guys, why is everyone just standing around?

Quiet.

We're savoring the moment.

[ominous music playing]

I've finished grinding the seeds into dust.

Place it in the containment hatch.

What's the magic word?

[garbled shouting]

Right away.

[device beeping]

You broke us out of prison

to sit on a freezing mountaintop?

Strongdor doesn't like missing bingo night.

Strongdor like bingo.

We brought you here so you can see

what a real evil plan looks like.

Oh! They're doing our Macarena thing.

No, we're launching a drone

to rain red-powdered seeds down on everyone,

and morph them into an army of supervillains!

I guess that's pretty cool.

Then we three will subjugate the superheroes of the world

and rule like emperors!

And give your dads cushy jobs?

Oh, let me think about that. No.

Wow, Mayhem, your kid hates you.

Shut it, Dad.

You don't always have to say things.

Do not snap that claw at me, young lady.

Anyway, I recalibrated the thrust transducers

so we can rule the world and junk.

Excellent!

Let the era of villainy begin!

[triumphant music playing]

Step away from the drone, V-Team.

- Thundermans! - Thundermans!

- Dark Mayhem! - Electress!

- King Crab? - And me, Strongdor!

Attack on my order!

No, Dad, this is our thing!

Yes, the Thundermans will just spank your bottoms

like they always do.

Hey, our bottoms are firm.

We take spin class with Warden Patty three days a week.

Thundermans, attack!

[dramatic music playing]

[grunting]

It's been a long time, Max.

- Not long enough. - Aw, come now.

Don't you want to...

catch up?

[groans, shouts]

How'd you escape my dad's lair?

'Cause I'm a superhero, not a brat with a mask.

Nice mask.

[grunts]

Mom, I wanna help.

No, sweetie, it's too dangerous.

Stay back here and don't move.

Have at you, sir.

[grunting]

Your super-punches are no match for this barnacled beauty.

Ugh!

[dramatic music playing]

I can't fight you. I shoot electricity from my hands.

All you have is a claw.

Oh, you're right. I better do this.

[both grunting]

I wonder if they like slap tag.

[slapping]

Billy, we can't keep doing this forever.

Let's hope they don't know that.

[both grunting]

Aah!

[slow-motion shout]

Ah! Oh!

Look around, Thunder Girl,

your family is doomed.

[grunting]

And they get to watch you go first.

I can do this all night.

[dramatic music playing]

[grunts]

[snaps]

Say your prayers, Thunder Man.

Whoa!

Going ice skating?

No, but you are.

[screaming]

[dramatic music playing]

[both grunting]

Mom, hold out your hands.

- [electricity crackling] - * Let's kill tonight *

* Kill tonight *

* Show them all you're not the ordinary type *

- What the-- - * Let's kill tonight *

I hate where this is going.

Oh!

First no bingo, now meat in face.

This was your plan, to make them even madder?

It'll work. Just wait for it.

- Billy! - Wait!

Now!

Whoa!

- [angry shout] - Max!

Oh!

- Thanks, partner. - Yeah.

- Your swoosh is messy. - Don't care.

Let's finish this.

* Let's kill tonight *

* Kill tonight *

* Let's kill tonight *

* Kill tonight *

* Show them all you're not the ordinary type *

* Let's kill tonight *

Oh!

Guys, we did it!

- Hey, hey! - See?

Nothing's stronger than family.

Except... evil!

[Thundermans] No!

[dramatic music playing]

Dad, catch it before it releases all the seeds.

I can't, it's twice as fast as me.

What's the point, Max?

I already won.

I can't believe I put you in my Bath Time Mix.

We have to do something.

If those seeds are released, they'll create

tens of thousands of supervillains

and this world turns evil forever.

- I can do it. - Do what, Chloe?

Teleport someone to the drone.

- What? - No. No, out of the question.

Guys, I'm ready.

And I'm a Thunderman.

It's what we do.

Remind you of anyone?

Yeah.

- Guys, I believe her. - Me, too.

She wants to save the world, Barb.

Okay, but your father and I are going with you.

- No, no way. I'm going. - Max!

Dad, that's an X-terra 5 drone, okay? I know how it's wired.

And, Phoebe, I'll need your telekinesis.

To retrieve the seed container and bring it back to Dad.

I don't know.

Uh, guys? Evil drone flying away?

Come on.

We love you guys.

We love you too.

[dramatic music playing]

Great job, Chloe! Hold on to that while we work.

I'll disable the power.

That'll release the seed container

- so you can tele-k it out! - Got it!

[dramatic music playing]

- You're good! - Okay!

- Got it! - Okay, let's get out of here.

Without power, this thing's gonna crash any second.

[coughing]

I can't see anything.

- [screaming] - Phoebe!

I can't teleport us unless we're all touching!

Phoebe, hurry, we're going down fast!

Max, take the seeds!

- Got 'em! - Go without me!

- What? No, we're not leaving! - Don't be ridiculous.

Take Chloe and the seeds, get back to the family.

Not gonna happen! We're not a family without you!

I'll reach out! Try to touch my hand.

Phoebe!

[loud explosion]

No. Please, no.

Hank...

[triumphant music playing]

Kids! What--

Chloe, you did it! You saved the world!

- Here's these, Dad. - Oh.

Also, I was wrong.

This one's gonna be the best supe ever.

- You guys tied up the villains. - Yeah, we did.

Can we go hit stuff with their hammers?

- Of course. - Go nuts.

- Good job, Chloe. - Thanks, Dad.

We're sorry we treated you like a little kid.

It's just... you're growing up so fast,

we were afraid you didn't need us anymore.

I'll always need you guys. No matter how big I get.

How come we never talk like that?

- Because... shut up! - Are you kidding me?

[upbeat music playing]

Five, six, seven.

- [all] Oh! - Up top!

Yeah! Five hundred gumdrops, buddy.

Thunder chili is served.

- [all cheering] - [phone vibrating]

Billy, we just got invited to our first high school party.

- Cool! - Can I come?

[gasps]

Just kidding. Text me the deets.

You know, I hate to admit it,

but I missed you guys when you were gone.

- Even you, Hank. - Thanks, Colosso.

And you missed me too, right?

Thanks, Colosso.

Alert! Alert! President Kickbutt approaching.

What now?

Sorry to interrupt your evening, Thundermans.

I've come to apologize.

- Really? - Yes.

Firing the best superheroes in the Hero League

was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

And I once had dinner with Inside-Out Man.

We understand. Rules are rules.

The rules said I had to fire you

for injuring a fellow supe.

But since the V-Team weren't actually supes,

I'd like to offer you your jobs back.

If... you'll take them back.

We'll do it under one condition.

I'll name Phoebe my VP

and have a team of stylists available to Max 24/7.

Not that, but thank you.

We'd like this house to be the new T-Force headquarters.

So we can always put family first.

Well,

this is highly unusual...

and I'm honored to welcome the T-Force back to the Hero League!

[all cheering]

I'll have your badges and suits delivered in the morning.

And the keys to the mega yacht.

And designer utility belt collection.

All right!

Which one of you blabbermouths

spilled the beans?

Thunder Monitor?

Way ahead of you.

- And where were we? - Let's get that chili going.

- Yeah! - Yeah, let's!

Hang on. Does anyone else

have the feeling that we forgot something?

[loud thump]

What was that?

[suspenseful music playing]

- [triumphant music playing] - The Blue Hunk,

reporting for duty.

Don't forget Iron Punch.

- [metal clangs] - Ow! That was my foot.

[loud belch]

Hey! You blew out my sparkles!

Where is everybody?

This might be a problem.

One we can deal with later?

[blowing]

Great! Back to Family Night.

- How about that chili? - Let's go!

- Me first! - Chili time!

I call butt groove!

[upbeat music playing]

[automated voice] We've been watching you, Colosso.

My colleagues and I were wondering

if you'd be interested in a little assignment.

I'm listening.

[upbeat music playing]
