Super Crooks (スーパー・クルックス)

It's the invincible team of the greatest heroes, The Union of Justice.

Our heroes are always out there working to keep the peace for us.

Tonight, we've got The Utopian and The Flare.

Where are they this time?

Hey there! The Flare and I are on patrol here in San Carlos, San Diego.

How are you, good boys and girls?

- Great! - Great!

I'm glad to hear it!

Like always, let's review the seven rules of being a hero.

One!

I was watching!

You can't watch TV all night.

Get to bed.

Why? You know I love this show!

That's enough for today. Now go to bed.

It's still only 7:00 p.m.

It's Randy!

Hurry up and go to your room.

Now I get it.

Welcome, Randy!

Hurry up. Come inside.

I'll escape this place someday.

You're still up?

Go to sleep, will you?

I've had it with you! No more of that!

You'll ruin our wonderful night!

As it is, it's already been ages since I had a man over, thanks to you!

You're ruining the mood! Do it again and you'll be sorry!

I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!

Quit lying! It can't turn itself on and...

What?

It's not me!

Hey! It's a blackout!

Must be the fuse.

Damn this rundown shack.

Hurry up and go to sleep.

It wasn't me...

It wasn't me, but...

Yes!

It was... me!

Sorry. I came.

You're kidding. Because of that?

- Hi, Tom. - Johnny!

Did you see the news last night about The Utopian?

I was too busy for that.

Seriously? There's no way!

I've realized...

my amazing power.

What? Has he lost his mind?

I'm the real deal!

- Watch out! - Don't worry. Just you watch!

See?

What's going on with you, Johnny?

Tom, it's him.

- This tape is awesome. - Yeah.

We'll be in trouble if he sees us.

Something reeks. Like piss.

Oh, it's those guys.

Just keep walking, Johnny.

Hey! What?

What's going on with this thing?

What the fuck?

See?

Are you serious? Johnny!

Did you see that?

That's awesome, Johnny!

Quit shouting.

How did you get like that?

To be honest, I don't know.

But when I just wish for it in my head,

I can feel like an electric shock surging inside my body.

Is it like

the son of Brainwave when his powers were awakened during the Boston riots?

Watch this.

That sure isn't static electricity.

I knew it. You've awakened your hero powers.

I've got superpowers?

That's right. You're a superhero.

You can feel that power, right? You should know.

Yeah. I can tell.

You really are a...

Look. I drew this about that legend of what happened on that island.

You mean Jupiter's Legacy ?

- You really love that, don't you? - Yeah.

I want to take a photo like this someday and have it on the cover of a magazine.

You'd be like an exclusive superhero cameraman.

It's going too far to say I'd be a pro though.

No, I'm sure you can do it.

Thanks, Johnny.

Those heroes with superpowers started with

those people who went to that mysterious island on that ship.

And the kids of those first people have superpowers too.

Then that must mean

you've got the blood of one of those guys in your veins, Johnny.

In my veins?

That's right! You wouldn't be the real deal otherwise.

If you've really got those powers, then one of your parents is one.

It sure isn't my mom.

Then...

I've never met my real dad.

- Then that must be it! - You think so?

Your father must have superpowers.

My dad?

I'm so envious.

My parents are so totally normal.

A real hero?

That's right. I'm sure you can be one too.

Then you can say goodbye to this town and your home too.

You're right.

Hey, when you become a hero, let me take your photos.

That would be awesome!

That's The Flare, isn't it?

Janice?

Yeah... That's The Flare.

When I was in Oakland once, I saw him.

Seriously? You saw The Flare?

Awesome!

Yes. He was really cool.

Yeah. Heroes are the next evolution of humans.

I wish I could meet a hero again.

I'm sure you will. Right?

Yeah. No doubt about it.

Hey, Janice!

- What are you doing over there? - What? Nothing, Dave!

Let's play.

Astro Boy? This one's so much fun.

But it's okay. I'm broke this month too.

Just play.

Awesome!

You can do this too?

It's on me.

Have fun.

You bet!

- I've been thinking. - Yeah?

It's probably like you said.

With this power, I can escape this lame town

and that place I live in.

And that's not all.

You could even get into The Utopian's Union of Justice.

I could meet the heroes.

Not just meet them. You could fight alongside them!

Yeah. That's my true calling.

Your power's electricity, right?

Yeah, that's right.
