[Both gasp]

What are you staring at?

Aah!
Aah!

Look out!

Call for backup!

Ooh, now this
is really hot.

I thought that sounded
like you, ebon.

Wanna steal some wheels?
Go ahead.

But these are mine.

Aah!

Argh!

Aah!

Ohh.

You're not ebon.

You're
some kind of freak.

Hey, I can't ignite.

No, but I can.

Aah!

Rahr!

[Gasps]

Where am i?

A jail cell,
dear boy.

You should feel
right at home.

Rrr! Unh! Uhh!

Ebon? What are you
doing here?

He took my powers
too, chump.

What are you?

The leech, because
I can suck the powers

Out of other
meta-humans.

And once I collect
all you bang babies,

I'm going to be
unstoppable.

A mega-meta-human.

So, if you'll excuse me,

Time to find some more
suckees, suckers.

Ha ha ha ha!

Yo, as the top producer
in hollywood,

I could be
working with all
the big-name acts.

So, who do I choose?
The biggest of them all.

You, little rubeo.

We'll do concerts, tv,

Movies, all produced
by yours truly,

Bernie rast!

Wait till you hear
what I have planned.

It's lil' romeo,

And how can you
plan anything

When we don't
have a contract yet?

My word is my contract.
Ask anybody.

I have.

Oh.

Yeah!

But, listen, I've
got the perfect way

For you to connect
with your fans,

To show them
that you're
a regular dude.

They already know that.

Right, right.
My bad.

Anyway,
it's like this.

I held a contest.

You what?

And these girls
won the chance

To direct
your next video.

Look, I'm sure
they're cool and all,

But I don't have time
to do some girls'
home movie.

I pass.

Wait, wait, wait,
w-wait.

Guess who these girls
guarantee they can get

To be in the video
with you?

Who?

Only your favorite
superhero!

Static?

Word.

We could even get you
your own static costume.

For real?

If I ask him to,
it's done, baby.

Static and me,
we did a big show
together,

And so we tight,
you know what
I'm saying?

It ain't no thing
but a chicken wing.

Ok, mr. Rast.

If you really got static,
you got a deal.

Trust me.
I've got static.

What?!

We didn't mean
to promise we could
get static.

It just kind of
came out that way

When we filled out
the contest entry form.

Uh, who did you
make that promise to?

The guy who
ran the contest.

He's the biggest,
greatest,

Most successful
hollywood producer ever,

Bernie rast!

Bernie rast?
Bernie rast?

Pretty cool, huh?

I'm gonna put up
a bunch of flyers.

Maybe static'll
see one of them
and contact us.

See you later.

That show we did with rast
was a disaster.

I'm not going
near that guy.

Yeah, but you're not gonna
leave frieda and daisy
hanging, are you?

Look, they
got themselves into this,

They can
get themselves out.

There's no way I'm gonna
be in that video. Ever!

It's so good to see you
again, mr. Static.

Now hold still.

[Static chokes]

You know, I admire
a brother who sticks
to his principles.

You wouldn't happen
to see one around,
would you?

There you are!

Mwah!
Mwah!

Thank you so much
for doing this.

[Girls giggle]

Maybe this isn't gonna
be so bad after all.

Bernie rast:
yo, stat man!

Then again...

You look fabulous!

Been working out?
Yeah, how's it
going, gizmo?

My name is gear.

Yeah, yeah.
Love the new name.

[Car horn honks]

All right!
Lil' romeo's here!

Sweet ride.

I bet it comes
with its own zip code.

[Rap music playing]

Lil' romeo, babe,
how you doing?

Yo, static!

Man, I'm like
your biggest fan.

You, too, gear.

Back at you.

Double back at you.

Romeo, meet
daisy and frieda,

Your directors.

We're so excited!

But in a very
professional way.

Yes. First we thought
we'd block out
the master sh*t.

Then do closeups.

Then break
for the dolly setup.

Cool, cool.

But when do I
get to put on
my static costume?

Static costume?
Static costume?

Oh, I forgot
to mention that, didn't i?

Heh heh.

Now, this is what
I call stylin'.

♪ Feelin'
richie rich, play ♪

♪ If you got it
scream your name, hey ♪

Actually, that costume's
kind of cute on him.

[Beeping]
uh-oh.

Cut! Cut!

Sorry. Backpack's picked up
a meta-human alert.

Cool!

This'll have to wait.

There's trouble somewhere!

Yeah, like
in my schedule!

[Screaming,
bell ringing]

Static: drop
those jewels, talon!

How about if I drop
you two instead?

[Screech]

Ooh.

Ebon?

Why are you--

Hey,
you're not ebon.

No, my dear.

My charms far exceed his.

Unh!
Uhh!

See? I always
leave the ladies
weak in the knees.

Gear:
yo, skull head!
Put her down!

Not a chance.

But I wouldn't want
to leave you empty-handed.

Catch.

Gah!

Next time, static,

It's your turn.

Ta-ta!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Has that ever happened?

Oh, yeah.

Right in the middle
of a b*at-down.

What'd you do?

I used my head
to figure out

Some way
to recharge myself.

Sometimes this

Is the most reliable
superpower of them all.

Gear, on shock vox:
yo, denzel!

What up?

They got those
cheese dingles you like.

On my way.

Tight communicator.

It's called a shock vox.

Here.
You can borrow it.

Now your costume's
really authentic.

Thanks.

So we start on you
flying over the ferris wheel,

And we tilt down
to lil' romeo on the stage,

Then you land next to him
and sing along.

Got it.

Ok, this is a run-through.

[Screech]

I told you
I'd come back for you.

Lil' romeo:
hey, let me go,
you freak!

Uhh...

Static, this is terrible!

What do you mean?
Nobody k*lled me!

She's not talking
about you.

Lil' romeo's just
been kidnapped.

Lil' romeo:
let go, you weirdo!

Uhh! Uhh!

I don't understand.

I should have leeched
your powers by now.

That's 'cause I don't
have any powers, fool.

Uhh!

Hey, look.
It's lil' romeo.

Ha! You grabbed
the wrong hero, zero!

Rrr!

Rrr!

Back off!

Mess with me, and
you'll have to mess
with my posse.

Do you really think
I'm afraid of some
street g*ng?

Street g*ng?

Dog, I'm talking
about my lawyers.

Static, on shock vox:
romeo, you read me?
Pick up, man.

Static.

Listen up, sucka dude,
let romeo go.

I'll tell you what.
We'll make a trade.

You get lil' romeo,
and I get you.

Deal. Where and when?

The north side of the park
in a half hour.
And come alone.

Otherwise,
lil' romeo's last album

Will really be
his last album.

Ha ha ha ha!

So, uh,
while you're waiting,

Think I could
have your autograph?

Hey, it's for
my sister, ok?

Ok, leech, here I am.

Static!

[Groans]

Ow!

Don't strain yourself.

Now you're just like
the rest of my collection--

Powerless.

For once, I really wish
you could help us, hero.

Uhh. My powers...
Uhh. Uhh.

My wings.
They're growing back!

Uhh!

So that's why
we're here.

You can't hold on
to anybody's powers,
can you?

That's right,
so make yourself comfy.

You'll be here
for a long time.

It happened
right over there.

I can't get robin?

Hey, what about
the kid in the tights?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The green one.

I can send a limo
right now!

Lil' romeo: if only I
could have done something.

Don't worry.
Gear'll find static.

How many empty jails
can there be
in this city?

Did you see anything else
at the jail that might help?

No. I told you
everything.

It was just a jail.

Wait, wait, wait.
Hang on.

Leech punched the wall,

But it wasn't
made of brick.

I think it was fake,
just like in the movies.

This is the oldest
movie studio
in dakota.

Now it's just
used for storage.

Max, take the ladies
to the nearest police
station.

I wanna
check this place out.

No! Your fans
would k*ll us

If anything
happened to you.

Not to mention
our producer.

Ok, I promise
not to go in

Till you get back
with the police.

Leech: ha ha ha ha ha!

I call powers!

Static?

Yo, static!

Do you hear that?

It's lil' romeo.

Romeo!
Hey!
Over here!

We're down here!

Come on, man.

Romeo!
Romeo!

Over here!

Static!

Rapper to the rescue.

Don't worry.
I'll get you
out of here.

You got to get us
all out of here.

Talk about
the midas touch.

Gear: hey, leech...

Aah!

Unh! Unhh!

[Straining grunts]

Poor boy.

I'd steal
your powers, too,

But they appear to be
the kind you could buy

At a hardware store.

[Beep]

Come on,
the door's over here.

It's him!

Keep going.

All this work
has made me
a little hungry...

For power!

Hey!

[Grunts]

Tell the head sucka
we said adios.

That'll teach you
not to give me
an autograph!

[Strained grunting]

What do we do?

If those cables
are hot,

I might be able
to recharge.

[Electricity crackles]

[Leech screams]

Better hurry.

Rraah! Rrraah!

How did they escape?

[Buzzing]

Maybe they haven't.

[Electricity crackles]

Aaah!

This is the part
where you run.

But you don't have
enough juice.

Let me worry
about that.

All tapped out,
aren't you, static?

And you're gonna
stay that way.

I'll just use your powers
to trap the others again.

[Footsteps on catwalk]

You're out of
your league, kid.

Yeah? Well,
you're all washed-up.

[Electrical crackling]

Aah!

You stole static's power,

But you got
his weakness, too.

[Pained groans]

Aah!

[Police sirens]

That was
pretty slick,

Setting off
the sprinklers
like that.

Well, I just did
like you said--

I used that superpower
we all have, up here.

We'll take him downtown
with the others.

Gear: yo, bro...

They're easier to catch

When they don't have
their powers.

Good work, my man.

Guess the show's over
for them, too.

Yeah. Like they say,

Cut, print,
and that's a wrap.
