You've gotta be kidding me. My life is ruined.
Aw, man, I wanted to do that.
My friend Christine from Metroburg
got her superhero cape and had a cape ceremony.
Look.
How am I getting my cape after Christine?
Her superpower is super-hearing. That is so lame.
Whoops, she heard that.
All right, you two, go do your homework,
so you can enjoy the weekend.
Cool! - BILLY: Nice cape!
Or do that.
Aw, Christine looks so cute in her superhero cape.
She says "Thanks!"
Oh, her parents must be so proud.
Not that we aren't proud of what you've been doing,
hashtagging, shopping, yolo'ing.
Oh, ho, you've been crushin' it.
All right, I suppose if I had chosen to focus more
on superhero training, then I'd be getting my cape by now, too.
Do what I do--tie a blanket around your neck and say...
We-e-e-e-e!
We-e-e-e-e is also the size of his brain.
These are special capes, Billy.
The Hero League awards them to you.
Yeah, it's part of becoming a full superhero.
You also get access to weapons and then later
you get your hero name and a supervillain to beat up.
I hope I get Max.
You can't handle all this evil.
Maybe it's not too late.
The Hero League still has one more cape to award this year.
Not that I've been looking into it on a daily basis.
Getting my cape would be awesome.
Before we moved here, it's all I ever dreamed about.
That, and ice skating with Channing Tatum.
I want a superhero cape.
Me, too.
One without dad's nacho stains.
It's never too early to start.
You've just gotta earn it through lots of training
and showing admirable superhero behavior.
Oh, like catching someone when they fall.
Billy, fall backwards. - Okay.
Phoebe, where were you?
Guess who just used her freeze breath
to save Hiddenville's woodland creatures from a brush fire.
I'm gonna get my cape, too, Christine.
Christine says, "You don't have to yell."
If you wanna do a good deed, help me find dad's wallet.
I need twenty bucks for the party.
What party? The party? That's tonight?
I told all my friends I was gonna go.
How could you forget about the first-ever
secret rooftop party in school history?
It's illegal and unsafe and I can't wait!
I can't go now.
If mom and dad found out I went to that party,
they would never let me accept the superhero cape.
Jackpot.
Although, there's nothing like dancing on a roof
after putting out a brush fire.
Thank you, Bank of Hank.
Yeah, just give me five minutes to change and--
Okay, I'll meet ya there!
Hey, Phoebs. -
You were out savin' the world, I see.
You'll be happy to hear
all your good deeds have been reported.
Won't be long before President Kickbutt calls.
Great. - Where are you going now?
Oh, I'm off to rescue beached old people
and help whales cross the street.
Somebody's got cape on the brain.
Well, she's not the only one.
Let's go check on our junior superheroes.
Have you seen my wallet?
Billy, Nora, what's all this?
We're getting ready to sleep in the wild.
Yeah, you said surviving a night by ourselves
is the first step in getting our superhero capes.
Roughing it! -
Kids, it's supposed to be a challenge.
Do you know how hard it was
getting that mini-fridge out here?
Look, your mother is right. Uh, this is about surviving.
Not to brag, but I set the record by surviving
three nights in the wild when I was your age.
Well, actually, I was two years younger.
That's enough bragging part.
I'm just saying it's about depending on your own skills,
not the comforts of home. -
Sorry, Dad, I can't hear you over the foot spa.
He said you can't have all this stuff.
Then what can we have?
I can't do this!
Yes, you can.
All we need is a place to sleep.
Okay, Billy, build us a fort.
Whoa, I did it.
I am Billy, Lord of the Outdoors!
I'm really excited about you getting this cape, Phoebe.
What? Oh, let me guess.
Your "excitement" is because you want access
to the superhero weapons.
Absolutely. Here's a list.
All right, fine, I'll put this in a safe place for you.
Whoa. Uh...
That looks bad.
I know. Those chips are gonna be all crumbs when he falls.
Whoaaa!
Whew.
Oh, you don't think anyone saw me, do you, Max?
- Max?
Oh, baked chips?
You shoulda let him fall.
Come on. I know another way up.
Max, are you down there?
Tell her "No."
We've got a mess on our hands.
Somebody recorded everything last night.
Including me bringing back The Cabbage Patch?
Not that mess. This mess.
"Miracle Wind Saves Rooftop Partier."
Whoaaa!
The video's gone viral.
If mom and dad see it, they'll know it was telekinesis
and realize I snuck out to the party
and it's bye-bye cape.
Mom and dad are like 70 years old.
They don't watch viral videos.
I just saw a viral video on the morning news.
I'm getting your father and the four of us...
we're gonna have a talk.
You forgot about the morning news.
It's the internet for old people.
It's morning.
We're alive.
We did it, Nora.
We did! We survived the whole night!
Well, good morning, you two.
Hey, nice shelter.
Of course, mine was rain-proof, but what do I know?
I only hold the record.
Anyway, to celebrate your accomplishment,
I thought you might want to see my trophy.
Whoa, "see" my trophy.
Only record holders get to touch it.
You know, Nora, staying outside wasn't so bad--
once we got past the sobbing and figured out where to pee.
You're right. Wanna break dad's record of three nights?
Totally. - What's that?
Hank, we have a problem.
I know. Billy and Nora want my trophy.
Because it was made for children.
Come on.
The trophy-less are a bitter people.
Whoaaa! -
Is that what I think it is?
Yep, miracle wind. Give it up for Mother Nature.
That wasn't wind.
Monitor, play the infrared.
Whoaaa!
Telekinetic waves?
Somebody better start talking.
All right, fine, here's the deal.
Even though I did all those great things yesterday,
you should also know that--
I saved that kid. - Max saved that kid.
Wait? What?
Sorry, it was me.
I was the hero who saved that idiot.
So, let me get this straight.
Max Thunderman saw someone in danger and saved them?
