1. Yo, Richie, what's up?
Besides me.
Copy !req
2. - 'I need you at HQ.'
- Trouble?
Copy !req
3. 'Just get here.'
Copy !req
4. Richie?
Copy !req
5. Richie?
Copy !req
6. Hey, I can't believe
he ditched me.
Copy !req
7. 'Wearing the new uniform, huh?
Looks good.'
Copy !req
8. - Where are you?
- 'Wouldn't you like to know?'
Copy !req
9. Ah-ha!
Copy !req
10. - Alright, I give.
- 'Peekaboo.'
Copy !req
11. Aah!
Copy !req
12. Oh, no! Don't!
Copy !req
13. He's a scouting robot.
Copy !req
14. I can control him with this.
Copy !req
15. I can see whatever he sees.
Copy !req
16. 'And I can broadcast
my voice through him.'
Copy !req
17. Uh, yeah. I figured
that part out by myself.
Copy !req
18. I call him Backpack.
Copy !req
19. Backpack?
Copy !req
20. Backpack, heel!
Copy !req
21. Cool.
Copy !req
22. I wonder if I can get
my pops to spring for one.
Copy !req
23. I didn't buy it. I made it.
Copy !req
24. Get out!
Copy !req
25. Oh, on the other hand,
you have been on kind
Copy !req
26. of an inventing tear lately.
Copy !req
27. - Look at this place.
- I know.
Copy !req
28. I got so many ideas.
It's like my brain's on fire.
Copy !req
29. I thought it smelled smoky.
Copy !req
30. I improved the
range of the tracers
Copy !req
31. and I figured out how to make
your flying disk
Copy !req
32. fold up smaller.
Copy !req
33. - What do these do?
- Aah!
Copy !req
34. Zap caps, the next generation.
Ha ha!
Copy !req
35. It's a Bang Baby
restraint device.
Copy !req
36. Well, they work.
Copy !req
37. What's with the police scanner?
Copy !req
38. I programmed it to do that
if it picked up
Copy !req
39. the word "Metahuman."
Copy !req
40. 'Breakout at county lock-up.'
Copy !req
41. 'Metahuman wing,
request backup.'
Copy !req
42. 'I repeat, request backup.'
Copy !req
43. Gotta fly.
Copy !req
44. Can't miss this.
Copy !req
45. I just got word they're
heading for the top floor.
Copy !req
46. No worries, man.
This way out.
Copy !req
47. I've got Ebon.
Copy !req
48. See you at the bottom.
Copy !req
49. Well, it took you guys
long enough.
Copy !req
50. I was about to cut out
for a cappuccino.
Copy !req
51. Just do it.
Copy !req
52. Finally!
Copy !req
53. Hey, let's get out of here.
The cops are everywhere.
Copy !req
54. 'You're worried about
the police when I'm here?'
Copy !req
55. Static?
Copy !req
56. Static. You don't start none,
there won't be none.
Copy !req
57. thud
Copy !req
58. Run!
Copy !req
59. thud
Copy !req
60. Sorry about the parking job.
Copy !req
61. I only have my learner's permit.
Copy !req
62. Static, you okay, man?
Copy !req
63. Everybody split up.
Meet me back at the place.
Copy !req
64. Aah!
Copy !req
65. Completely, utterly
Copy !req
66. and totally my bad.
Copy !req
67. I know you.
Copy !req
68. Yeah. I get that a lot.
Copy !req
69. One of those faces. Heh.
Copy !req
70. Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
71. Ah.
Copy !req
72. You're that kid I saw talking
with Static that time.
Copy !req
73. Uh, yeah. He was asking
directions to the power plant.
Copy !req
74. Don't play me.
Come here.
Copy !req
75. Hey! No, don't..
Let me..
Copy !req
76. You're coming with me.
Copy !req
77. Let him go, Ebon
Copy !req
78. Another time, fly boy.
Copy !req
79. Guaranteed.
Copy !req
80. Phew. Okay.
Copy !req
81. I guess when you become
a living shadow
Copy !req
82. the nose is the
first thing to go.
Copy !req
83. 'You sure you're okay?'
Copy !req
84. Yeah, 'cause you looked a little
green around the glasses
Copy !req
85. when I left you.
Copy !req
86. Yeah? Well, how would you feel
Copy !req
87. if you almost got Ebonized?
Copy !req
88. 'Why was he messing
with you, anyway?'
Copy !req
89. He must've wanted to use
me to get to you again.
Copy !req
90. You want me to sneak over
and hang out?
Copy !req
91. No, I'm cool.
I got Backpack on lookout mode.
Copy !req
92. And I also brought a bunch
of new zap caps home with me.
Copy !req
93. - Just in case Ebon.. Hey!
- What?
Copy !req
94. I just got an idea how
to use one of these
Copy !req
95. to play MP3s. Gotta go.
Copy !req
96. He is getting too weird.
Copy !req
97. Never thought we'd all
end up back here again.
Copy !req
98. 'Isn't it great!'
Copy !req
99. No way anybody
would look for us
Copy !req
100. at the old Juvie Hall.
Copy !req
101. Spent a lot of time here
back in the day.
Copy !req
102. We were inmates then.
Copy !req
103. Now we run the place.
Copy !req
104. I always ran the place.
Copy !req
105. Anything wrong?
Copy !req
106. Yeah. That kid.
Copy !req
107. His name was Foley.
Copy !req
108. Every time I see him,
Static's right there.
Copy !req
109. I shouldn't have let him
slip away the first time.
Copy !req
110. So let's find him.
Copy !req
111. Just what I was thinkin'.
Copy !req
112. Start with the high school
closest to the jail.
Copy !req
113. Dakota Union High?
Copy !req
114. Whatever. Just find him.
Copy !req
115. I want us on that
kid like a shadow.
Copy !req
116. And today we're
going to learn about
Copy !req
117. the magic of monomials.
Copy !req
118. 'But first I have
a little problem for you.'
Copy !req
119. - Richie?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
120. What you working on?
Copy !req
121. Well, I was fixing
my rollerblades last night
Copy !req
122. while watching the Military
Channel special on Harrier jets
Copy !req
123. you know, the ones that can make
vertical take-offs
Copy !req
124. and landings and I was thinking,
wouldn't it be super cool
Copy !req
125. to integrate that technology
into my skates?
Copy !req
126. Okay.
Copy !req
127. Alright. Now the first
step in solving this..
Copy !req
128. 'Uh, Mr. Foley.'
Copy !req
129. Mr. Foley.
Copy !req
130. Mr. Foley?
Copy !req
131. - Huh?
- The problem?
Copy !req
132. Four over pi.
Copy !req
133. Perhaps, Mr. Foley,
if you paid atten..
Copy !req
134. - What?
- The answer is 4 over pi.
Copy !req
135. Y-yes, but, how did you know?
Copy !req
136. Lucky guess.
Copy !req
137. Come on, Richie,
how did you know?
Copy !req
138. Beats me.
Copy !req
139. Sometimes your head
figures out stuff
Copy !req
140. when you don't even know
it's doing it.
Copy !req
141. Paper clip.
Copy !req
142. Circuit board.
Copy !req
143. Opticon scolometer.
Copy !req
144. Opticon wha-wha..
Copy !req
145. Ah, just clowning ya.
We're all done.
Copy !req
146. - Done? With what?
- Jet blades.
Copy !req
147. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
148. Let's see what
they can really do.
Copy !req
149. Uh, Richie?
Copy !req
150. Whoa!
Copy !req
151. Richie, this is too much.
Copy !req
152. You're right. The rear boosters
must be overpowered.
Copy !req
153. No, man, not the skates. You!
Copy !req
154. What do you mean?
Copy !req
155. The robot, the zap caps.
All this stuff.
Copy !req
156. I mean, all of a sudden,
you're braniac the maniac.
Copy !req
157. So, I'm a little smarter
than most people.
Copy !req
158. - What's the big deal?
- "A little?"
Copy !req
159. The department of defense
couldn't think up
Copy !req
160. most of this stuff.
Copy !req
161. Well, they don't have to.
Copy !req
162. I already thought
it up for 'em.
Copy !req
163. Focus, Richie.
Copy !req
164. Remember when you said your
head felt like it was on fire?
Copy !req
165. Well, maybe you were right
'cause something's
Copy !req
166. really cookin' up there.
Copy !req
167. I do feel different lately.
Copy !req
168. I think faster,
a lot faster.
Copy !req
169. Sometimes I can't
stop thinking.
Copy !req
170. Sometimes it's like my thoughts
are thinking thoughts.
Copy !req
171. See? I just thought that.
It's like
Copy !req
172. ideas are exploding in my head.
Copy !req
173. Does it look bigger?
It does, doesn't it?
Copy !req
174. Cranial perimeter is
definitely expanding.
Copy !req
175. - Oh, no!
- You look fine.
Copy !req
176. Fine? I'm having some kind of
strain on the brain breakdown.
Copy !req
177. I could be going crazy. I..
Copy !req
178. Rich! You know what I think?
Copy !req
179. I think maybe you're
becoming a Bang Baby.
Copy !req
180. That doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
181. - Why am I changing now?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
182. Late bloomer maybe,
I mean, other bangers
Copy !req
183. had delayed reactions.
Copy !req
184. But I wasn't even
at the Big Bang.
Copy !req
185. Yeah, but you were with me
right after I got gassed.
Copy !req
186. And my clothes
reeked of the stuff.
Copy !req
187. Maybe that's how
you got infected
Copy !req
188. and it's been dormant
in you all this time.
Copy !req
189. What do you think?
Copy !req
190. It's as good a theory
as we got right now.
Copy !req
191. When he's not at school,
he mostly hangs around
Copy !req
192. comic shops
and an old gas station.
Copy !req
193. That's his running buddy,
Virgil Hawkins.
Copy !req
194. Hair style look familiar?
Copy !req
195. Lot of dawgs wear
their hair that way.
Copy !req
196. Not a lot of dawgs
who hang out with Foley.
Copy !req
197. He's about the right size.
Copy !req
198. You think this guy
could be Static?
Copy !req
199. Let's find out for sure.
Copy !req
200. - Hey, Virg.
- Hey, Daise.
Copy !req
201. Listen, do you think Richie
would tutor me in chemistry?
Copy !req
202. What about me?
I'm the chemistry kid.
Copy !req
203. Yeah, but you didn't ace
the final like Richie.
Copy !req
204. He did? Sweet!
Copy !req
205. You'd think.
Copy !req
206. But he didn't seem
very happy about it.
Copy !req
207. Yo, bro. What's that?
Copy !req
208. Plans for a particle
accelerator?
Copy !req
209. Yeah.
Copy !req
210. I was kiddin'.
Hey, man, why so down?
Copy !req
211. Isn't it fun being
a super brain?
Copy !req
212. I guess. It's just..
Copy !req
213. How come I couldn't
get a cool power
Copy !req
214. like super strength
or laser vision?
Copy !req
215. Laser vision?
Copy !req
216. How am I supposed to
fight super villains?
Copy !req
217. Think them into submission?
Copy !req
218. All I can be
is your mega-mechanic.
Copy !req
219. You're not just..
Copy !req
220. What's up? Does he need
a recharge or somethin'?
Copy !req
221. No. He's detected a metahuman.
Copy !req
222. Virgil!
Copy !req
223. Virgil.
Copy !req
224. What are you doing?
Stay away from him!
Copy !req
225. I'm taking your friend Static.
Copy !req
226. Y-you're wrong!
Copy !req
227. He's not Static!
Copy !req
228. Come on, Virgil.
Copy !req
229. If you got your
shock box on you
Copy !req
230. I can track you down.
Copy !req
231. Yes! And now what?
Copy !req
232. Desperate times call
for desperate measures.
Copy !req
233. Here goes everything.
Copy !req
234. W-whoa!
Copy !req
235. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
236. Aaah aaah! Whaaah!
Copy !req
237. Oops! My bad.
Copy !req
238. Hoo hoo hoo!
Copy !req
239. Huh?
Copy !req
240. Sharon always said I was
gonna end up in one of these.
Copy !req
241. Hey! Let me out of here!
Copy !req
242. Fine, be that way.
I'll let myself out.
Copy !req
243. Wait. Maybe that's what
they want me to do.
Copy !req
244. Thought for sure he was
going to blow the door down.
Copy !req
245. He still might.
Wait and see.
Copy !req
246. Sorry, I'm still
working on the brakes.
Copy !req
247. V-man?
Copy !req
248. 'V-man! Where are you?'
Copy !req
249. I'm in some kind of cell.
Copy !req
250. I think I'm being watched,
so I can't use my powers.
Copy !req
251. Don't worry.
I'm here to save you.
Copy !req
252. Say what?
Copy !req
253. I'm already inside.
It's the old Juvie Hall.
Copy !req
254. Lucky move.
Think you can do it again?
Copy !req
255. What was that?
Copy !req
256. Probably Bigfoot tripping
over his own feet again.
Copy !req
257. Hmm. Check it out.
Copy !req
258. Hey, Sasquatch!
What's all the racket?
Copy !req
259. Kangor?
Copy !req
260. You're not Kangor,
are you? Gotcha!
Copy !req
261. - Huh?
- Nope.
Copy !req
262. Got you.
Copy !req
263. We'll talk later.
Copy !req
264. Virgil, you're right.
Ebon's got a camera on you.
Copy !req
265. 'Act naturally.
I think I can take it out.'
Copy !req
266. Richie, what's going on?
Where are you?
Copy !req
267. Right here, V-man.
Copy !req
268. Quiet. They might be watching.
Copy !req
269. They are watching... reruns.
Copy !req
270. I had Backpack
manipulate a loop of you
Copy !req
271. which he's feeding into
Ebon's monitor right now.
Copy !req
272. Nice!
Copy !req
273. One funky fresh
superhero costume.
Copy !req
274. - Problem, man?
- We've been ambushed!
Copy !req
275. - What? By who?
- We're still working that out.
Copy !req
276. I wanna tag in
Robin, the boy wonder.
Copy !req
277. - Uh, no.
- See?
Copy !req
278. It's a work in progress.
Copy !req
279. So we had the wrong guy.
Doesn't matter. We got you now.
Copy !req
280. May I? You've already done
so much.
Copy !req
281. Aah!
Copy !req
282. Nice job.
Copy !req
283. Couldn't have done it
without you.
Copy !req
284. What do you think?
Copy !req
285. I think you're
spending more time
Copy !req
286. in front of the mirror
than my sister does.
Copy !req
287. And it's starting to worry me.
Copy !req
288. We still gotta come up
with a superhero handle.
Copy !req
289. How about Hardware?
Copy !req
290. I think somebody's using it.
Copy !req
291. Steel?
Copy !req
292. Well, it's gotta say somethin'
about all this gear I got.
Copy !req
293. Gear. What about that?
Copy !req
294. Gear? Perfectamundo.
Copy !req
295. 'Metahuman known as Hotstreak'
Copy !req
296. 'on rampage at 52nd and main.'
Copy !req
297. 'Request backup.'
Copy !req
