- What could be more important

than fighting Arson Boy at the match factory?

agreed to meet with the Gas Clown's family

to explain what happened to him.

- Wow, that is so mature of you.

You know, sometimes I think your real superpowers

are just being good, honest kids.

But it's a good thing you do have

real superpowers because if you didn't,
