Coolest Roller Coaster Ever
Okay, everybody, I guess it's about time I do my recap of the third episode of the second season of Who Wants To Be A Superhero?.
The episode opens just after last week's elimination, with the heroes reflecting on Mindset getting cut. Ms. Limelight comes right out and says she's glad he's gone. Damn, man, that's cold. The following morning, they're awakened and set to Six Flags Magic Mountain, where Doctor Dark is lurking. Wait a second, I thought Doctor Dark was really Stan Lee pretending to be a supervillain. Remember that in the first episode? No? Bueller?
Anyway, the heroes have to split into four teams of two...
All four teams succeed, but it turns out that Doctor Dark was just hiding on a monitor. Psyche! The heroes return to the lair, discovering a note from the good doctor that there may be a mole amongst their ranks. This leads to a big discussion among them about why they're there, with Mr. Mitzvah not really opening up. Stan pops up eventually, announcing that the heroes will be giving him mission reports on the other heroes.
Mr. Mitzvah steps out of the room for a moment afterwards, so the seven remaining start discussing what to do about his antisocial behavior. So they're staging an intervention because he isn't as gabby as the others? That's dirty pool right there. So when he comes back, they start reading him the riot act when he gets back, and he defends his being quiet by saying that people shouldn't be talking just to hear themselves speak. Burn!
It's about that time that Stan reveals the results of the mission reports. Turns out that the heroes thought that Whip-Snap and Mr. Mitzvah would have made better sidekicks, and that Parthenon, Hyper-Strike, Basura, and Mr. Mitzvah are all thought to be the mole. But enough of that, it's time for the elimination ceremony. Stan calls Mr. Mitzvah, Basura, and Ms. Limelight up to the chopping block, cutting Mr. Mitzvah because of his repeated failure to overcome his fears. But as they start to clear out, Stan is all "get back here, we're cutting somebody else." Stan has Hyper-Strike replace Mr. Mitzvah on the chopping block, but ends up cutting Ms. Limelight because he felt she couldn't perform under pressure.
As they return to the lair, they find that their safe has been opened and that the papers revealing their secret identities have been stolen. Oh, snap.
That's a heck of an ending. I'm bummed that they cut Mr. Mitzvah and Ms. Limelight, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Mitzvah may be back as a villain. He'd have the motivation to turn evil, since all the others ganged up on him. Plus he said we haven't seen the last of him as he walked away. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but it could happen. Remember the Iron/Dark Enforcer from last season?
So that's it for the recap. Can't wait for the next episode.
