"We Could Be Heroes..."
Alright, everybody, it's time for another of my patented Who Wants To Be A Superhero? recaps. We're down to the last two episodes of the season, which I'll be doing back to back, instead of as one long recap like I'd originally considered. And unfortunately, since the Sci-Fi Channel isn't running their usual Tuesday night reruns after ECW's show, I'm relegated to watching the episodes on SciFi.com. It's not really that big of a deal, as long as we get through this. So let's knock these bad boys out, okay?
When we last left our potential heroes, Parthenon had been eliminated, and Doctor Dark had unleashed Evil Stanzilla upon the city. As the episode begins, the regular Stan informs the remaining three heroes of Evil Stanzilla's rampage, directing them to the local power exchange. His gigantic villainous doppelganger is feeding off electricity, so the heroes have to run a line between two generators in order to create a power surge that will defeat him. But, as Stan says, there might be one small complication. That complication? Three pissed-off guard dogs.
Lucky for them, they happened to have some protective gear packed in their car. The dogs promptly go after them, with Hygena getting tackled by one and rendered pretty much immobile. She figures she'll take one for the team, so she tells the others to leave her behind while the dog goes after her. And with the other two dogs hanging off Defuser, Hyper-Strike manages to initiate the power surge and stop Evil Stanzilla.
Victorious, the heroes return to the lair. Battered and bruised from the dog fight, the trio reflect upon what happened, with Hygena believing she performed the worst in spite of her sacrifice. Stan contacts them, and to reward them for the day's efforts, he presents them with their own action figures. Naturally, they're thrilled. Where do I get my own action figure? I guess I have to sign up for season three.
The following morning, Stan dispatches them to an office building, reminding them that Doctor Dark is still at large. The three search through the building, and end up running into former MTV VJ Kennedy on the set of the Fox Reality Channel talk show Reality Remix. Turns out Stan had sent them there to teach them how to deal with the media. Of course, there's a hidden test going on, the test being to see what they'll reveal when they believe the cameras are off. Kinda like the food run from the first season.
Once they return to the lair, Stan asks them to, instead of doing normal mission reports, to tell one another what they're thinking. It isn't really a whole lot, outside of Hygena believing she could have done better, and that Hyper-Strike thinks he'll get cut. But enough of that, it's time for an elimination.
All three are called up to the chopping block, with Stan revealing just how they'd screwed up during the Reality Remix challenge. Turns out Hyper-Strike revealed that was raised in Vermont but lived in Chicago, Defuser revealed that he's a cop from Texas and that he has a teenage son, and Hygena revealed what part of California she's from, and that her husband is an attorney. But when it comes time for them to defend themselves, Hyper-Strike announces that he should be cut if Stan doesn't have complete faith in his abilities. It's then that Stan announces that the person turning in his or her costume will be...
...nobody.
Stan's decided to let all three pass through to the finals, because in spite of their flubs at the TV studio, he believes that all three of them have earned it.
Our three finalists return to the lair and find bottles of champagne with which to celebrate. But the party is interrupted by someone with plenty of balls. You'll see what I mean in the next post.
