Revenge of the Smith

¶

- All right, guys, thanks for helping me figure out

a new superhero catchphrase.

How about, "You just got saved--to the Max!"

- Nice! - I think it's great!

Oh, you like it?

That's off the list.

- There's only one catchphrase in this family, baby.

- Saying "baby" all the time isn't a catchphrase.

- Max, stop what you're doing.

We're at a ThunderTwin "orange" alert.

We're outta taco sauce?

No, that's magenta.

Learn the color alert system.

Look, they've ranked all the Z Force hopefuls.

- How are we behind Nightlight?

She is useless during the day.

- We're in last place because, somehow,

we're the only ones who didn't do

a bonus assignment called "The Li'l Z's."

Look.

"Li'l Z's Mentor Program"?

- We're supposed to submit a video of ourselves

helping a young supe take their powers to the next level.

And the more impressive your Li'l Z,

the more points you get.

- How come we didn't know about this until now?

I might know why.

This is an important message

for Max and Phoebe Thunderman

about the Li'l Z's Program.

Hm, sounds important.

On to adventure!

Colosso, not cool.

Uh-oh, time to fly.

So long, suckers!

- We're not letting him leave, are we?

- No! -

- Mayday!

- Phoebe, we need to get those points

to get back in the running for the Z Force.

- But we only have two days left.

Where are we gonna find a young supe

we can train and mentor?

- You know, there are two talented supes in this house

who'd be happy to help you.

- Uh, sorry, guys, it's called the Li'l Z's,

not the Old and Retired Z's.

- Max, they're not talking about themselves.

Actually--

- You are not talking about yourselves.

- We meant Billy and Nora.

We've upped their superhero training

and they are doing great.

I'm sure either one of them

would love to be your Li'l Z.

As would your mother.

- All right, here we go. Bye.

I'm worried about Mom.

But Dad makes a really good point.

- Yeah. But do we take Billy or Nora?

- Help! Nora! This bucket's attacking me!

- So, we're going with Nora, right?

Definitely Nora.

"Hi, Max."

"Get outta my room, Phoebe."

- Aw, look at our sweet little angel

playing with her--

Oh! Why are your toys so pointy?

Young lady, you promised you'd pick up your toys.

- I know, but it's so much easier not to.

- Chloe, if you say you're gonna

do something, you do it.

A ThunderPromise is as strong as ThunderTanium.

Okay, I'll clean up.

Wahoo!

- Oh, no, that sounds like...

Blobbin!

Greetings, ThunderFam.

- Are you floating? - Floating?

That would be crazy.

No, I'm on an invisible skateboard.

- Blobbin, do the thing! Do the thing!

- Oh, Chloe, he's probably tired.

Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

So, listen...

I'm here because my scientists at BlobCo

started a fashion division.

- Oh, you're making clothes now?

Is there a "family" discount?

- No. Anyway, I want ThunderMan

to be the face of our new Fall line.

- Oh, Blobbin, I mean, I'm flattered.

But, you know, I'm retired as a superhero.

- Oh, but you've been the face of so many products.

That is true.

Hello, I'm ThunderMan.

You know, after saving the town from villains,

I like to save my face from razor burn--

with ThunderMan's After Save lotion.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Ah. The burn means it's working.

ThunderMan's After Save!

- Oh, you can sell anything.

- Well, I am pretty amazing.

- Then you promise you'll help me?

- I promise. Oh!

- Where do I sign? - Right here--

on this invisible contract.

Oh?

- I'm kidding.

There's no such thing as invisible paper--

yet.

Hey, Nora, um,

can we talk to you over here for a sec?

- Thanks. I'm tired of pretending to rake.

- [rake clatters, cat yowls]

What is it?

Congratulations.

We're picking you to be our Li'l Z.

Is that like a rap name?

'Cause I was thinking Nora the Destroya.

- No. As our Li'l Z, we're gonna train you

and help take your powers to the next level.

Whoa, that'd be amazing!

You can help me perfect my laser loops,

so I'll be ready to protect my own city some day.

Ha. Cool.

- Oh, I hope Billy's not gonna be disappointed

when he finds out about all this.

- Unh, Billy's used to being disappointed.

Just give him a cracker and he'll be fine.

See?

- I should be upset that Nora's not helping me rake,

but, man, these crackers are good.

- No wonder we're always outta crackers.

Um, Nora, why don't you go wait inside for us.

Okay.

- Billy, we need to talk. - Cool.

Just let me finish getting rid of these leaves first.

- Did Billy just do something cool?

I think he did.

Uh, Billy, have you ever thought about

doing that with both arms?

You mean, like this?

- So, we're going with Billy, right?

Definitely Billy.

Sorry, guys.

I didn't realize how powerful my armnadoes were.

Powerful and amazing.

How would you like to be our Li'l--

Max!

Um, Billy, could you give us a sec?

- Just knock when you're done.

Max, what are you doing?

We already told Nora she was our Li'l Z.

- Billy's powers are cooler than Nora's.

If we work with him,

we'll get a ton of Z Force points.

And I wanna be on the Z Force, Phoebe!

- I know. Me, too!

I guess we could, you know, probably teach him a lot.

- He could teach us, too. - Yeah.

- He's a whiz with that bucket.

Swish! I think.

Who is it?

- Billy, um... how would you like for us

to take your powers to the next level?

- Well, my bucket powers are already great.

You saw that swish I think I made.

- No, Billy, your armnadoes.

As our Li'l Z, we'll train you to help make them more...

Armnado-y?

Sure. Why not?

- Wow, with your training,

I could become the greatest hero in the family.

Sure. Why not?

- I'm in. I can't wait to tell Nora the good news.

- Whoa! - Not so fast!

There's no time for that. Training starts now.

Why don't you take a couple of laps

around the world to warm up?

- All right. See you in a minute.
