The first 200 lines.
- And that's when I knew I had seen my 7th UFO.
- Wow. Another great story, Cherry.
Kids?
What happened to you?
- We saved a beached whale.
Then it said thank you by spitting seaweed on us.
The save would've gone smoother,
if I had the land, air and sea rocket
I requested from the Hero League.
- Oh, the rocket shark. - Yep.
It goes from scuba to sky in 2.8 seconds.
- Hey, thanks for waiting for me, Cherry.
- Aw, it's cool, but I can't hang out
or else I'm gonna be late for work at the Clam Castle.
- If President Kickbutt had just made you my supe assistant
like I asked, your job would be hangin' out with me.
- I am very qualified for that job.
I know!
Know what? I'm gonna call Kickbutt right now.
- Not if I call her, first.
- Hey, kids! You can't bother President Kickbutt
with your frivolous requests.
- I have been called a lot of things,
but frivolous is a word I don't know.
- It means she's too busy to take your silly requests--
like last week when somebody asked for space hair gel?
- Do you think I want my hair to look like yours?
Okay, fine. We promise not to call President Kickbutt.
Thunder Monitor, call President Kickbutt.
President Kickbutt is not available.
- Is she blocking our calls?
Yes, but you didn't hear it from me.
- She can't hide from us. Chloe?
- Hey, we need you to go get President Kickbutt.
- I guess my tea party can wait.
- So, did I ever tell you guys
that I once met an alien named Gramulak?
Funny story.
- So, I say to you supes--
Why am I here?
You kids interrupted my State of the SuperUnion speech.
- Sorry, but we have some issues
that are really, really important.
- Yeah, I need my rocket shark.
- I'll tell you what I told you the last ten times--
never!
- Well, have you reconsidered my 300 requests
for Cherry to be my supe assistant?
Here's my resume.
- This is just a picture of a cherry.
- I feel like it sums up my experience quite nicely.
Nailed the interview!
- I'm getting out of here
before anyone else asks me for something.
Yo, Evelyn!
How 'bout a date?
How about I end you?
That's not a "no."
- Take a hint, Colosso. She doesn't have time for you.
- Yeah, she's here to give us stuff, so I was thinking--
- The rocket shark, it's like this car, three wheels--
Enough!
- But we're contenders for the Z-Force.
Helping us is part of your job.
- Maybe I don't want this job anymore.
- Well, you're the president. You can't just quit.
Watch me!
I quit! - Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Kids, I told you not to call President Kickbutt.
- Well, they can call you now
because you're the new Hero League president.
Me?!
- Regular citizen Kickbutt, out!
Psst! Chloe, teleport me home.

- Did you just make President Kickbutt quit?
- And did she just make me the new president?
Kids, you need to fix this.
- I feel terrible. We didn't know she would quit.
- Yeah, we just asked her for a few things
every day, over and over.
- Well, maybe Kickbutt didn't mean it.
She didn't even send a presidential liaison.
- Hello, I'm your presidential liaison.
Hank Thunderman, I need to know
if you'll accept the nomination.
This is insane.
Uh, sir, we need to speak with President Kickbutt.
- Oh, she's disappeared to a place
where you annoying Thundermans would never find her.
Her words, not mine.
- Don't you speak that way to the emperor's daughter.
- I don't know. It's a big decision.
- Oh, it's bigger than big.
The Hero League will be without a president, if you decline.
I'll give you some room to decide.
- Phoebe, do you realize what this means?
- We drove poor Kickbutt so crazy, she quit her job.
Am I really that annoying?
Don't answer that.
- No. Now that Kickbutt's gone,
we can get everything we want.
We just have to convince Dad to become president.
- Kickbutt did say she's not coming back.
And I do want Cherry to be my assistant.
Uh-huh...
- And I do love making you wait for me to decide.
- And you know you want to! Come on!
- I don't know. It's a really big responsibility, honey.
- But, Dad, it only makes sense
for the greatest superhero who ever lived
to become the Hero League president.
- Oh...I wouldn't go that far.
But you can.
- And, Mom, you would make an amazing First Lady.
- Oh, I would, wouldn't I.
Once a simple farm girl,
Barbara McBooger's been picked for greatness.
Phoebe, look at them.
Something's different. - Yeah, you're right.
They look almost...
"presidential."
- The superworld needs us, honey.
- Yeah. - Mr. Liaison?
It's time to make Hank Tiberius Thunderman superpresident.
- Wonderful!
Congratulations, Dad!
- Congratulations, Max. - Congratulations, Phoebe.

- Okay, Mr. Thunderman, after you've been sworn in,
you'll take a bite from the inaugural cake.
- Ooh, my stomach is ready to serve.
- Superpresidents have taken a ceremonial bite
from the cake for over 200 years.
Two hundred years old?
Hope that comes with a barf bag.
- Oh, there it is-- in that dish.
- - I'll be right back.
I forgot to bring the Hero League handbook.
I'm a train wreck today.
- Barb, I have to tell you something.
- You ate the cake. - I ate the cake.
- How? When? I have so many questions!
- I was coming back from the bathroom.
It was sitting there.
I thought it was hallway cake.
- That's what you're going with--hallway cake?
- I don't know. I am new to politics.
- We can't have a scandal on your first day.
You'll go down as the worst president in history.
Oh, you're right.
No one can ever know about this.
I won't wanna be known as Superpresident Cakebutt.
- Let's begin the ceremony. Mm-hm.
- Mr. Thunderman... - Mm.
- ...please place your hand on the Hero League handbook.
Do you swear to serve the Hero League
with the utmost honesty and integrity?
- Of course. Why do you ask? What have you heard?
I do.
- Congratulations, Mr. Superpresident!
- Get to the cake, people!
Oh, Hank...
We have to do something.
Oh, uh...
Let's skip the cake.
Uh, fun fact about your new president.
I am a health freak.
Nonsense.
It's tradition to take a tiny sliver
of the three-layered, buttercream--
Oh, my gosh, someone ate the whole cake!
What? Who?
Whatever monster did this is an enemy of the Hero League!
- Mr. President, will you launch an investigation
to catch the cake eater?
- Uh, yeah, of course I'm gonna do that.
That filthy criminal will pay for eating
that buttercream cake with the chocolate spirals
and delicate vanilla chiffon--
- They get it, Mr. President.
Neither of us will rest
until we find this unknown person
