The Thundermans: Undercover

Your cooking's getting better. That lasagna was delicious.

Actually, it was salmon, but thanks?

Sorry to interrupt, but your brother

Billy Thunderman is calling.

Shall I fetch Max from his bunny bonding time?

No need, Thunderford.

And I'm cutting off your access to my personal calendar.

Hey, guys!

- Billy! - Hey!

How's school going, Chloe?

I bet you can write your own name now.

So, I'm 12.

I was a late bloomer too.

So what's going on, Billy?

I was at the Hero League pickleball game...

Let me guess. You thought there'd be pickles?

I did. It was cool though

'cause I made a new friend named Steve.

He has amazing powers and would be perfect

as my sidekick on the T-Force.

Huh! Thunderford, hang up.

- You guys don't like my idea? - No. No, no, no!

"Hang up" just means we love your idea.

It's new Secret Shores slang.

You know, it's like, "Hang up to that!"

We would love to meet Steve

and see if he's T-Force material.

We would?

Awesome! I mean, hang up!

- Did I use it right? - You sure did!

This is great. I've been wanting a sidekick

ever since Nora left.

Me and Steve will be over tomorrow. Bye!

Why'd you just do that?

We're not letting some random goober join the team.

Yeah. The T-Force is family.

We're not looking for new members.

I know. I'm not seriously considering Billy's friend.

I just didn't want to shoot down his idea right away.

You shut my ideas down all the time.

That's different. It's fun.

Hang up to that!

Look, with Nora away on her super semester abroad,

Billy's just looking for something to fill the void.

It's a delicate time for him. We gotta be encouraging.

Ah! You mean lie.

You should've just said that. I'm down.

We are not lying.

We are just stretching the truth.

And stretching is how things grow.

You need to shut this down

before it blows up in your faces.

Hey! Let the co-captains handle the T-Force.

You should go do your math homework.

Here's some math. Billy's bad idea

plus you not shutting it down equals...

Thank you, Thunderford.

Hang up to that!

I come from a family of superheroes.

But now, my brother and sister and I

are heading to a brand-new town.

We're going undercover.

To try and solve our most important mission yet.

Alert! A young lad is at the front door.

Oh, I'll get it! I love chasing kids away! Heh!

Hi!

Uh, a little early for Halloween, kid.

So no candy, but, uh, here's some junk mail.

Hey, guys! I see you met Steve already.

And he got your mail for you!

Nailin' it, bro!

Hi, Steve. Sorry about Max's rudeness.

No insult taken. It's an honor just to be in the presence

of the Swoosh Savior of Hiddenville.

The Swoosh Savior. I'm totally trademarking that!

Steve is the best.

He knows more about the T-Force than me.

Did you know that the "T" stands for Thundermans?

Billy, that doesn't impress Thunder Girl,

who's already on pace to be the youngest Supe

ever inducted into the Hero League Hall of Fame.

Ha-ha! Flattery is not gonna work on me.

By the way, it's youngest by ten years.

There's only room for one suck-up in this family

and that's me.

Stand down, villain!

Nobody messes with the Thundermans while I'm around!

Not even the supposedly reformed Dr. Ebenezer Colosso.

Ebenezer? That's your first name?

I was the youngest of 12!

My parents ran out of names!

Wow. You really did your research, Steve.

I'm impressed.

You're doing great, new Nora!

How do you feel about bows?

I still don't think I can pull it off.

I'll just hold on to this one then.

Is it just me or is everything a bit more beautiful today?

The sun is sunnier,

the breeze is breezier,

the tubes are tubier...

Jinx, you're acting weird. Did you trip and fall today?

Actually, I did fall... in love!

I have a crush.

On a human this time?

Last summer, Jinx had a crush

on an alien Bigfoot princess.

When I ended it, it broke all three of her hearts.

This is so exciting! Who is she?

Well, I don't want to say, but she's cool,

a little quirky, and she lives by the ocean.

I'm getting a fever just talking about her!

I'm gonna calm down in the walk-in freezer.

Wow! I wonder who it is.

Uh, it's kinda obvious who she is.

Really? Who?

She's cool, quirky, lives by the ocean.

Wait! So you're saying...

Jinx has a crush on you.

Oh, sorry. That's just my new ringtone.

Okay, usually we wouldn't let

a non-T-Force member see the Air Lair,

but since Steve is registered with the Hero League...

Wait, where is he?

Steve time!

Nice dismount, super bro!

Thanks, super bro!

Welcome to the Air Lair, Steve.

Now, all of this tech's super complicated,

so you probably don't know what you're lookin' at.

Hero League Satellite Network!

Power Sapping Bracelets?

The Nose-Hairalizer!

I guess you do know what you're lookin' at.

Yup. It's all state of the art.

Especially this super tech security system.

It can transform any room into an airtight prison

sealed off from all communication.

It can?

I mean... ...we knew that!

So what do you say? Can Steve be my sidekick on the T-Force?

Um, give me and Max a second.

We're gonna have a quick captains' chat.

Ugh! Do we have to?

Yes!

Listen, I know we were just

stretching the truth to humor Billy--

Yep. Totally lying. I remember.

But Steve's actually really impressive.

He knows his stuff, and he seems to really inspire Billy.

I know. Plus, it'd be good to have

another person around to give us well-deserved compliments.

Great huddle, guys!

Max, the way you're standing

perfectly blocks out all the sound.

Thanks, buddy.

Alright. Then it's settled.

If his superpowers are half as good

as Billy says they are, he's in.

Okay, guys. We talked it over

and it's looking good.

We just need to see a quick demonstration

of Steve's superpowers.

Oh man! You guys are in for a treat!

Whew!

You might wanna stand back.

So, what do we think Steve's powers are?

Shrinking? Weather control? Plasma rays?

S'more Blast!

S'more Blast?

Nailed it, bro!

I told you guys his power was sweet.

Steve is the best to have around campfires.

You might've thought that the "S" on my super suit

stood for Steve,

but it actually stands for S'more.

The Human S'more.

It also stands for

"So not getting into the T-Force."

We cannot let a s'mores-powered boy join the T-Force.

We'll be the laughingstock of the hero world.

I know. I'll get rid of the marshmallow menace.

No! Max, this has to be handled carefully.

Billy feels lost without Nora. He'll be devastated

if we tell him Steve can't be his sidekick.

Look, Billy can handle the truth, okay?

Billy! I'll be gentle.

Phoebe thinks your friend's superpowers are stupid.

No! That is not what I said.

I said it's stupid that I didn't know

about his amazing powers sooner.

I know, right?

He's like Nora without the bow.

For now.

I'll go tell Steve to get his hopes up.

Why did you tell him I said Steve's powers were stupid?

Because I don't want him to be mad at me.

I don't care if he's mad at you.

Okay, well, since neither of us can tell him the truth,

maybe we can help him figure it out himself.
