Soft, dramatic music plays
music intensifies
[cheering]
[President Kickbutt] Many heroes
have worn supersuits,
but a rare few
can consider themselves
among the greatest superheroes
of all time.
We're here to induct
one of those few,
the newest member
of the Hall of Heroes,
Thunder Man!
[cheering]
Joined today
by his superhero family,
wife, Electress...
-[electricity crackling]
-[crowd cheering]
his twins,
T-Force co-captains,
Phoebe and Max...
[crowd cheering]
teleporting daughter, Chloe...
[gasps, murmurs]
laser-eyed Nora...
and super-speeding son, Billy.
[whooshing]
Nora, did you know
that this museum
has a whole room
full of heroic toilets?
That was the bathroom.
Really?
Then I overpaid for that tour.
And now to say a few words
before placing his hands
in the ceremonial wet cement...
Thunder Man!
[cheering]
Thank you,
Super President Kickbutt.
I think it was Shakespeare
who once said,
"A superhero
is like a cheese danish,
the inside is warm..."
[beeping]
"but the outside..."
Get down!
[crowd screaming]
[rumbling explosion]
dramatic music plays
Remember me, Thunder Chump?
It's The Replicator.
I locked him up years ago.
Looks like he wants revenge.
Good luck.
It's seven against one.
Not for long.
Follow me, boys.
Enemies approaching!
Prepare to engage!
All right, Thundermans.
Let's do this.
[grunting]
One down!
Wait, where'd he go?
[grunting]
Max, they both reappeared.
[grunting]
They're replicants!
When you defeat one,
another takes his place!
How do we make them stop?
If we take out the Replicator,
his replicants will vanish.
Which one is he?
They're all identical.
Dramatic music intensifies
[grunting]
dark, ominous music plays
[grunting]
Ha!
[grunts]
-[electricity crackling]
-[blubbering]
Missed me! But I won't miss you.
Chloe?
Why am I glowing?
Suspenseful music plays
[crackling explosion]
[groans]
My hand print's a butt print!
Guys, we need to end
this fight now!
Max, the Replicator's human,
so he's the only one
with body heat.
Recalibrate your watch
to detect him.
I got a better idea, Phoebe.
Cool, then I'd love
to hear it...
right after we do my plan.
T-Force, zone defense!
-Max, hurry up!
-I'm working on it!
[grunting]
-Done!
-Great. Now scan the replicants.
-[beeping]
-It's that one!
[grunts]
[screams]
heroic music plays
[laughs]
Guys, you did it!
Good job, everyone.
Yeah, except for the part
where I almost took out
the whole family!
She's right.
Great job everyone but Chloe.
I'll take Chloe
to the super doctor.
Kids, you go home with your dad.
Where is your dad?
Hank, are you signing
your butt print?
I'm doing it for the fans, Barb!
I know.
Dramatic heroic music plays
upbeat musical transition
Alright, Chloe and Mom
should be home
from the super doctor soon.
Don't forget to save
some pizza for them.
Ugh, this topping is disgusting!
[Max] Colosso!
'Cause I got yours
with rabbit food.
That's what you get
for turning me into a bunny!
Thunder Man...
going to throw up!
[snickers]
Billy, look what I found!
-Bubble Man's bubble blaster?
-Uh-huh!
Remember when I used to trap you
in a giant bubble
and roll you down the driveway?
Oh, yeah, that was really fun...
until I rolled into traffic.
Yeah. Finish eating
so we can do it again!
Hey, Phoebe.
Why'd you push
through your plan today
without listening to mine first?
I mean, we're partners,
remember?
There was no time, Max.
Chloe's power surge set us back
so I made an executive decision.
Besides, you totally helped.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah, maybe instead
of co-captain,
my title should be
"Captain Phoebe's
Li'l Helpy Guy."
Hey, don't sell yourself short.
You're my big helpy guy.
[grunts mockingly]
[Thunder monitor] Alert, alert.
Barb and Chloe Thunderman
are back
from the super doctor.
Okay, guys,
Chloe might be sensitive
about the whole
glowing incident today,
so be careful what you say.
Hey, we're home.
Hey, Chloe, how's it glowing?
No, I mean glowing!
No, wait, I mean glowing!
Going!
That was close.
Good save.
Okay, you can all relax.
Chloe, do you want
to tell them your news?
I'm getting a second power.
[all] Nice!
It's "Ener-kinesis,"
the ability to generate
and manipulate energy.
Oh, Chloe! This is so exciting.
Your second power!
I know.
I'm just like you guys now.
-And me.
-And me!
Billy, touching your elbows
together isn't a superpower.
Don't listen to her, guys.
She's just jealous.
Oh, so everyone's
all whoop-de-doo
about Chloe's new power,
but you made me give up
my flying power.
You flew south for the winter.
I went to Carnival.
Rio will never forget
these hips.
[rhythmic vocalizing
in rumba beat]
Anyway, the doctor says
Chloe has to be careful
with her new power
until she can learn
to control it.
At least it's not going off
by surprise anymore.
-Oh, come on!
-Take cover!
[energy surging]
[Colosso screams]
[Colosso] That power
is dangerous.
And so are these hips.
[rhythmic vocalizing
in rumba beat]
What good
is having a second power
if I can't even control it?
Been there.
Don't worry, we got you.
I promise we'll teach you
to control it, as a family.
Ooh, guys, the
Superhero Evening News is on!
Maybe they'll mention
my butt print.
Good evening.
I'm The Newsflash.
Today's top story:
the superhero world is abuzz
with the rumor that Hero League
Super President Kickbutt
may soon be stepping down.
Insiders say
her most likely successor
is T-Force co-captain...
Phoebe Thunderman.
[gasps] What? Me?
Well, I must be number two
on the list, so...
Her twin brother Max,
who went through a very
public evil phase,
is number five on the list,
just behind Squidonculus.
Squidonculus? He's the worst!
[Thunder monitor] Alert, alert.
Incoming call
from President Kickbutt.
Max, Phoebe, Chloe,
I need you and your parents
to report to my office
immediately.
Kickbutt out.
What do you think that's about?
You don't think... Nah.
But maybe... Nah.
Although... Nah.
I take it back,
you're the worst.
Suit up and let's go.
We'll be back.
Don't worry about us.
You can worry a little!
Heroic musical transition
Phoebe, this is so exciting!
Wasn't being president on
your fourth grade vision board?
I mean, I won't lie,
I used to dream about sitting
at this very desk.
[squeals softly]
Cork Man, plug that volcano!
Cobra Lady, quit shedding
your skin on the job!
Where's my lavender iced boba?
Having fun, Phoebe?
Yeah, this is pretty fun...
[screams]
[chuckles] That's going
on my vision board.
The reason I've asked you all
here is to talk about Chloe.
I accept!
Somebody get me
a lavender iced boba!
I'm talking
about your second power!
Ener-kinesis
is one of the rarest powers
in the hero universe.
Used right, it can be
an incredible force for good.
Just like my perfect jawline.
But without proper training,
her power can be
extremely dangerous.
-Just like...
-Your jawline. We get it.
What I'm saying
is we'd like Chloe
to enroll in the Top Secret Hero
League School for Gifted Supes.
The T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.?
You've heard of it?
Heard of it? I went there!
Or did I?
I did.
Send her in!
And get me a lavender iced boba!
I'd like you all
to meet Cognita,
the school's Super Dean.
It is such an honor to meet you,
Thundermans.
Or as they say in Latin,
Ad Honorem Eius, Thundermanes.
[chuckles]
Cognita's superpower
is hyper-intelligence.
She graduated at age six
and has been running
the school ever since.
Super intelligence, huh?
My IQ's 150, what's yours?
A hundred and 49...
thousand.
Proceed.
As the President was saying
regarding Chloe's
energy emanations,
we feel it would be sagacious
for Chloe
to matriculate at our facility.
Dumb it down, Cognita.
[laughs softly] I'll adjust
my Cerebral Modulator
to lower my intelligence
and facilitate conversation.
Come learn stuff
at our schooly place!
-Oh.
-It makes sense now.
It really is
the ideal place for Chloe
to master her amazing power.
As you'll see in this very
helpful presentation.
[announcer]
Welcome to T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.,
where you can ride
to class on one
-of our nuclear skateboards!
-Whoa.
[announcer] Or join one of our
jetpack-powered sports teams!
-Cool!
-But most important,
our superhero trainers
will teach you to control
your new power
before you destroy a small city.
Exciting adventures await you.
We hope to see you here soon,
Chloe Thunderman.
That school looks so cool!
And there's hot tubs
in every dorm room.
No way! Can I go to this school?
Wait, "dorm room"?
So I'd be sleeping at school?
Yes, it's a four-year
boarding school.
After which you'll be assigned
to a super team
for another year.
So I'd be away from home
for five years?
Yeah, and Chloe's already
on a superteam.
Not anymore.
Chloe's banned
from doing missions
until she masters her power.
And as for missing home,
she'll be allowed to visit
every quarter.
Can the hot tubs come to visit?
-No.
-Okay.
Chloe, I know this sounds
like a big step.
But this could be your chance
to become a legendary hero.
We're gonna need
to discuss it as a family.
Time to go, Chloe.
Oh, wait, but I can answer
any questions.
Oh, yeah,
do I still hold the record
for eating the most corn dogs
while flying upside-down?
Hit it, Chloe.
Upbeat musical transition
And the sports teams
wear jetpacks!
The only thing that can make
that school better
is if they had hot tubs
in the dorm rooms.
They do!
Whoa, that's my kind
of schooly place!
I just wish I'd gone
to that school
when I was Chloe's age
instead of learning
all that lame stuff.
You mean reading and writing?
Exactly.
When am I gonna need that?
What do you think, Chloe?
That school is the gold standard
for powers training.
And it's a one-way ticket
to getting your own cement
butt print.
Yeah, that's every girl's dream.
I think I'm going up
to my room for a little while.
Of course, honey.
You've had quite
an eventful day.
So you guys'll make her go
to that school, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're not seriously saying
we should send Chloe away
for five years.
Well, you heard Kickbutt.
She can come visit
every quarter.
It would be nice
if Chloe learned
to control her new powers.
Yes, and we'll teach her.
But what if we can't, Phoebe?
What do you mean?
We all learned at home.
I mean, Nora,
before Mom trained you,
you were constantly lasering
Billy by mistake.
Yeah. By mistake.
And, Billy, Dad taught you
to super-speed around the ocean.
Oh, yeah, I don't get trapped
in those Japanese
fishermen's nets anymore.
Chloe's new power is way
stronger than those, Phoebe.
I'm afraid she could
hurt herself.
I agree with Phoebe.
The answer is no,
same as the first time.
First time?
Did I say first time?
I meant "thirst time."
Yes, I will get us drinks.
[Max and Phoebe] Stop.
What did you mean "first time"?
We never told you this before,
but when you and Phoebe
were Chloe's age,
one of you was invited
to attend that same school.
Really? Why didn't I go?
Oh, it wasn't you, Phoebe.
It was Max.
[together] What?
But it's a school!
Schools love Phoebe!
Phoebe loves schools!
No, you both had heat breath,
freeze breath, and telekinesis,
but Max could also make
incredible gadgets,
so he got accepted.
So why didn't I go?
We thought it was a bad idea
to split up twins.
What?
I can't believe this.
How could you guys
have done that to me?
Done what?
You still became one of the best
superheroes in the world.
Maybe I would have been
the best.
Maybe I would've reached
my true potential
instead of being half
of the Thunder Twins.
What's that supposed to mean?
No offense, but sometimes I wish
I didn't have to compromise
with you all the time
like I did today.
Well, Max,
if you'd gone to that school,
who would've helped you
through your evil phase?
Maybe I wouldn't have had
an evil phase, Mom.
And then I'd be next on the list
to be president
instead of Phoebe.
Oh, I see, okay.
So this is typical.
You're making it all about you
when it should be about Chloe.
It is about Chloe.
I don't want her to be denied
this opportunity like I was.
This is good stuff!
Nora, what do you think?
I think Chloe
should go to that school
so she doesn't hurt herself.
Billy, now you yell something!
Chloe should stay,
'cause kids should live
with their parents
forever and ever,
just like I'm going to.
Billy, stop using
your own brain.
I just think Chloe should stay.
No, she should go
and learn her new power!
-She should stay!
-She should go!
We're not sending her away
for five years!
[overlapping arguments]
Guys, guys! Stop arguing!
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
Tense music plays
-What do we do?
-Save yourselves!
Maxes and rabbits first!
[whooshing]
Everybody get to the lair!
-Me first!
-No, me first!
-Somebody go!
-Just go!
-[screams]
-[groans]
[Max] You're on my butt!
[pants]
What happened
to Mom, Dad and Chloe?
Oh, right. We have stairs.
I'll put us in lockdown mode!
Intense music plays
[doors clanging shut]
Get down! Now!
[loud crashing]
Is everybody okay?
Let me check.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[gasps] Eleven?
I gained a finger! [laughs]
Should we go back upstairs?
Let's hope
we still have an upstairs.
[computer beeps]
[door whirs]
dramatic music plays
Our house!
I'm sorry.
Sweetie, this is not your fault.
The important thing
is that we're all safe.
I'm fine, thanks for asking!
Sorry, Colosso.
Whatever.
I'm gonna go ask a mole
to give me a tongue bath.
[electricity crackling]
Thundermans.
President Kickbutt! [laughs] Hi!
Uh, funny story.
We were just making popcorn...
Yeah, and then I said, "Dad,
you're creating
an energy storm."
Save it! We know it was Chloe.
I'm hereby ordering her
to report
to the Hero League School
and learn to control her powers
before people get hurt.
That's not your choice to make!
Everybody, just calm down.
I can give Chloe a harmless
numbing agent
to dull her power
and protect her
while we talk this out.
-Is that okay, Chloe?
-I guess.
It's dechlorinated sulfate.
Or as you would call it,
coconut sea breeze.
Alright.
Now come with us, Chloe.
Ominous music plays
I said come with us.
-Hank?
-It's for her own safety, Barb.
Yeah, Mom.
If you want Chloe, you're gonna
have to go through me.
Are you serious?
Chloe is a Thunderman.
She belongs with us.
But she can't control her power.
Then we'll train her.
Maybe you don't think
we can, but I do.
Step aside, Phoebe.
I'm not moving.
Me too.
Me four.
I suggest you think this over
very carefully.
Defying my orders
is an act of super treason.
Chloe, what do you want to do?
I don't want to go
to that school.
That's all I needed to hear.
Phoebe, what are you doing?
Yeah, have you lost your mind?
Guys, I can't let you do this.
I'm so sorry.
What do we do now?
We run!
Ah, fresh as a daisy.
What'd I miss?
[yelps]
I really gotta start taking
shorter tongue baths.
Don't worry, Maxy,
I'll unfreeze you.
I have a secret weapon
that can melt anything.
My hot Carnival moves!
Huh, I really thought
that'd work.
Time to bring in
some serious firepower.
Max's hair dryer!
Phoebe, don't you do it!
She did it.
They took Chloe.
I'm afraid I have no choice
but to declare Phoebe, Barb
and Billy
fugitives of the Hero League.
This isn't like Barb.
She always follows
Hero League orders.
And Billy always follows
my orders.
We're in uncharted waters, Dad.
Well, at least
with Chloe's powers numbed,
she can't teleport
or blow up any houses.
For now.
But it's only a matter of time
until the numbing agent
wears off
and Chloe hurts herself
and everyone around her.
Cognita's right.
I always am.
I built a computer out of Legos
when I was one.
Max, I want you to lead
what's left of the T-Force
on a mission to retrieve Chloe.
Lead on my own? It's about time.
Don't worry, President Kickbutt,
I won't let you down.
Yeah, we won't let you down!
What? I'm not staying
behind in this trash heap.
I can't believe we...
-And then we... And now we...
-I know!
Wait, how did we beat Billy
here?
Sorry I'm late.
I had to circle the earth
like 80 times waiting for you!
Look, I'm sure
becoming fugitives
isn't what anyone wanted,
but it was the only way
to protect Chloe.
I'm sorry you had
to throw away your dream
of becoming
Hero League President.
Don't be silly.
So what if I threw away
my "lifelong dream."
I have other dreams.
-No, you don't.
-No, I don't.
But I know you belong
with your family,
not at that school.
I just wish your father
could see that.
And Nora. It's like college is
making her unsmarterer.
They will, because we're going
to train Chloe ourselves
and fix all this.
-You are?
-Yes.
If we prove to the Hero League
you can control your new power,
they won't force you
to go to that school.
And Max, Dad, and Nora
will see we're right.
And then we can go back
to being a family.
And Phoebe
can still be Galactic Emperor!
It's Super President, but, yes!
Dream back on!
Not if we get thrown
into super jail.
We need to get far away
from here.
Can Chloe take us to Nigeria?
There's a prince there
that owes me money.
I can't teleport us anywhere.
My powers don't work.
Right, that means we can't start
your training either.
We need to reverse
that numbing agent.
Hey, when I was on that tour
of The Hall of Heroes,
I saw Antidote Man's Lasso
of Healing.
It can cure anything.
Then maybe it can restore
my powers!
I meant it could cure
my fear of rodeo clowns,
but your idea is good, too.
Guys, we're wanted fugitives.
We can't just stroll
into a crowded museum.
Yeah, you're right.
We can't just stroll in, but...
four museum-loving tourists can!
See? I told you
we'd fit right in.
Never doubt the power
of a tummy tote.
Always have. Always will.
Oh, it's Nora.
She's asking me
to send her a "shelfie"
so I don't lose my streak.
Ooh, is that when you take
a picture with a seashell?
That's ridiculous, Mom.
A shelfie is a picture of me
standing in front
of a random shelf.
Here's yesterday's.
Don't send that, Billy.
They're trying to trick you
into giving them our location.
But look at the shelves
in this place!
Okay. Okay.
We got to focus
on getting that lasso.
It's located
inside the Gallery of Gadgets.
There's a security guard
outside.
Chloe and Billy,
you distract him
while Mom and I
slip into the gallery.
No problem, we got this.
Yeah, people are always
calling me a distraction.
Follow my lead, sis.
Hey, folks. No touching
or licking the exhibits.
It happens a lot more
than you think.
Do you mind talking to us
while not paying attention
to anything else?
What he means is I'm doing
an article for my school paper.
It's about how security guards
are society's real superheroes.
That's what I keep telling
my mom!
Can we get some pics?
Sure!
Show me "brave!"
-[camera clicks]
-Yeah. That's the stuff.
Now show me "surprised."
Oh, yeah.
Exciting music plays
Okay.
The coast is clear.
Now, how do we get
the lasso off the podium
without setting off that alarm?
You're going to zap it
and force a system reboot.
That'll give us exactly
30 seconds to steal the lasso
before the alarm
comes back online.
I guess I'm up then.
You know, we don't do a lot
of stuff just us. It's nice.
Yeah, I love you, too.
Now, fry that alarm!
[electricity crackling]
[timer beeping]
Alright, I'll use my power
to pick up the glass,
you grab the lasso.
-Oh, no.
-Oh, no? What "oh, no"?
We don't have time for "oh, no!"
There's a pressure sensor
on that podium.
If the lasso's not touching it
before the alarm comes back
online, it's gonna go off.
What are we going to do?
I have an idea.
[timer winds down, shuts off]
I can't believe that worked.
Me, either.
I'm gonna miss
that tummy tote, though.
I was really rocking it.
Oh, honey, you really weren't.
Show me "fierce!"
[hisses]
Now show me "I ate a bad taco!"
[groans]
Okay, time to get these pictures
back to my newspaper.
Good, because I really did eat
a bad taco.
-Did you get the lasso?
-We got it!
Now all we have to do
is act cool and leave.
There they are!
New plan, run the other way!
We gotta slow them down.
I'll trip the alarm.
[alarm blaring]
[Max yells] My perfect jawline!
I was just trying to buy us some
time, but that was a fun bonus.
I don't get it,
how did they find us?
I'm sorry!
We were taking selfies
with the guard
and I saw
this sweet shelf and...
I'm only superhuman!
It doesn't matter, right now
we gotta get out of here.
One problem,
we're trapped!
We can't let them get away.
Bash in that door, Dad.
Thunder Man, bashing away!
[loud thuds]
Uh-oh, Dad's coming in!
Chloe, teleport us out of here.
I can't.
My powers aren't back yet.
That means it's time
to use Antidote Man's lasso.
Mom, you were raised on a farm.
-Darn tootin'.
-Can you use a lasso?
I mean,
I don't want to brag but...
[mumbling]
This is why
I didn't want to brag.
[loud thuds]
The door's about to give.
Tense music plays
I don't think anything
can save us now.
[horn blares]
I got them, Max!
What about that?
That'll work.
-Move over, rabbit.
-[Colosso grunts]
Colosso?
Sorry, Max,
I was just trying to help!
I'll fly after them.
Thunder Man, awa...
-[electric crackling]
-[grunts]
-You just tased Thunder Man!
-Oh!
Please don't tell my mom!
Solemn heroic music plays
[chicken squawks]
What are we doing here?
We needed someone we could trust
to make that lasso work.
What do y'all think you're doin'
parking that jalopy
in my driveway?
I think we're coming to find
a grumpy farm lady
who needs to simmer down.
Barbie Bear!
Mom!
[all] Mee-Maw!
[laughing]
[Colosso]
Help! Let me out of here!
We forgot about Dr. Colosso.
[sighs]
Is this how you treat the person
who saved you by mistake?
-Yup.
-Oh, absolutely.
Mind if we stay a while?
Of course.
The McBooger farm
will always be home to my Barb
and my baby McBoogers.
[laughs]
I forgot! Barb's maiden name
is McBooger. [laughs]
Did you also forget
about my sonic scream?
[piercing scream echoes]
Yes, I did.
So did I!
Thanks,
it's called a Hawaiian shirt.
Dramatic heroic music plays
And with the lasso
able to restore Chloe's powers,
who knows what havoc
her ener-kinetic abilities
could unleash.
President Kickbutt,
I know we messed up.
But I promise
we will recover Chloe
before anything bad happens.
You'd better.
Otherwise your first mission
leading without Phoebe
will be your last.
And now,
I need Hank to go explain
to the Hall of Heroes trustees
why he didn't rabbit-proof
the Thunder Van.
I didn't think
he could reach the pedals!
Look, Max, even a person
with a below average IQ
and mild astigmatism could see
you're feeling discouraged.
It's just...
Chloe is in actual danger.
And I don't understand
why Phoebe doesn't see that.
Well, there's a reason you were
accepted to T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.
and she wasn't.
[scoffs]
Because she's a butthead.
You and Phoebe
may be di-zygotic siblings,
but you tower over her
in computational prowess.
Thank you?
I'll dial it down.
You guys are twinsies,
but you're like
a super smart tech wiz,
-which makes you better.
-[chuckles] Yeah, I am!
Wait, I got it.
Why don't I just use
my tech wizness
to build a machine
that can track
Chloe's energy bursts?
See? This is why everyone thinks
you're the new favorite
to be Super President.
Everyone thinks that?
Well, not Squidonculus.
Show them they're right, Max.
Yeah. Yeah, I will.
Thanks, Cognita.
Time to go save Chloe.
He said he was sorry!
Right after I go save
Dad and Nora.
Dramatic music plays
Can you look at this lasso, Mom?
It's not like
my old electro-whip.
I can't seem to make it work.
Well, of course you can't,
you're all a bunch
of fancy pants city slickers.
I'm not a city slicker.
[whooshing]
See? I just milked my first cow!
This farm doesn't have cows.
Well, this day just got weird.
Okay, sweet pea,
give me some room.
It's been a while
since I used a lasso,
but I'm gonna give it a try.
- upbeat music plays
- [laughs] Woo!
Chloe?
How do you feel?
Are your powers back?
There's only one way
to find out.
So, Lola, what time
do you get off work tonight?
-[chicken squawks]
-Hey!
You scared away the fourth
future Mrs. Dr. Colosso!
Yes!
Good job, Mee-Maw!
When I'm Super President,
I'm making you
Secretary of Ropes.
Hey, as long as I'm
the Secretary of Mystery Milk.
Okay, Chloe,
you can teleport again,
so your energy powers
must be back too.
But maybe
I can control them now.
Nope.
Now I'm the Secretary
of Nothing!
-Sorry, guys.
-Don't be sorry, Chloe!
Now that your powers are back,
we can teach you
to control them
and make things right.
I can't wait until our family's
together again.
Although not here,
chicken feathers
make your dad sneeze.
They do?
Now I like Lola even more!
Come back here,
my little chicky-boo!
Playful music plays
Oh, good,
you guys are just in time.
Max, have you been up all night?
Seriously, you look awful.
-Like really, really...
-Yeah, I get it!
I was up all night
working on my quasiparticle
thermo-energy detector.
It'll alert me if Chloe releases
any big energy...
[yawns]
blasts.
Max, you should get some rest.
Dad, there's no time for sleep,
okay?
With Chloe's powers back,
she's a ticking time bomb.
Nora, if you see me
dozing off, laser me.
Don't have to tell me twice.
Alright. Time to fire
this baby up. [chuckles]
[grunts]
Thank you.
Oh, it's just like
having Billy back.
Calm music plays
Now, Chloe,
meditation can help you
control your new power
from within.
First, we must create
an atmosphere of calm.
-Phoebe, are you...
-I said "calm"!
Everyone, clear your mind.
Done!
Connect to the power
within you, Chloe,
and release it slowly.
[soft whirring]
Oh, Lola, promise me
you'll never change.
-[power whooshes]
-[chicken squawks]
[groans]
I wish I could say that's
the first time that's happened.
-Oops.
-Don't worry.
We have a few other things
we can try.
I know you got this.
Okay, so you haven't got this.
But 67th time's the charm.
Maybe taking a break
is the charm.
Or we could try visualization.
Here.
Move, move, move.
Picture yourself
hitting the target in your mind,
and you'll do it in real life.
I don't know,
I tried that during
potty training
and it didn't work.
Go ahead, Chloe.
-I'll give it a try.
-Mm-hmm.
I'm picturing it...
-You okay, honey?
-She's fine.
You got this, Chloe.
Take the shot.
Anytime now.
I'm trying,
but it's not working.
Just try harder. You can do it!
Come on, stupid powers. Work!
What's happening?
I think it's gonna blow!
[rumbling explosion]
[machine beeps]
[computer]
Ener-kinetic blast detected.
My machine found Chloe!
Dramatic music plays
Oh, she's at Mee-Maw's farm.
Let's go get her.
-Nora!
-What? Your eyes were closed.
I was blinking!
[Phoebe groans]
What in Ol' MacDonald's outhouse
was that?
The tractor blew up,
but we're fine.
I'm not!
What happened
to my eleventh finger?
Okay, so minor setback,
but we have other things
we can try.
Like hypnosis.
Look into my eyes...
Face it, Phoebe.
This is never gonna work.
Of course it will.
No, I'm serious.
Half our family doesn't even
think training me is possible.
Yeah, they're wrong! And we're
gonna prove it to them.
So, come on,
let's get back to training.
Phoebe, don't you think you're
pushing her too hard?
Uh, maybe not hard enough!
I gave up being Super President
for her.
You made that choice!
I never asked you to!
I never asked for any of this.
Well...
[sighs] Yeah.
You're right, I'm sorry.
[exhales] This is all my fault.
Maybe I'm pushing you so hard
because I'm scared.
Scared of what?
That I'm the one that's wrong.
That we can't teach you
to control your powers.
That I gave up my dream
and ripped this family apart
for nothing.
It wasn't for nothing.
You were following
your instincts.
Don't start doubting yourself
or the power of this family.
Thanks, Mom.
You know who taught your mom how
to give such powerful pep talks?
Me? I'm a really good son.
So, what do you say, Chloe?
You up for trying again?
I have a feeling
nothing is gonna stop you
from mastering your powers.
[Max] Phoebe, we know
you're in there!
And that feeling is gone.
Max came to rescue me!
[Max] Give us Chloe,
you can keep Colosso!
This is why I have anger issues.
Okay, Mee-Maw,
you stay with Chloe.
We'll handle them.
[sighs]
Time for a family reunion.
Heroic music plays
-Where's Chloe?
-Don't worry, she's safe.
We've been training her.
Someone could get hurt, Phoebe.
The only real safe place
for Chloe to go
is Cognita's school.
We're not sending Chloe
to that place.
How dare you speak that way
about T.S.H... [grumbles]
You know what I mean!
Hey, Billy,
wanna grab Chloe for us?
You can't trick me like you did
with that shelfie.
By the way, there's a sweet
shelf in Mee-Maw's barn.
It's over, Phoebe.
Just give us Chloe.
Come on, you know
we can't do that, Max.
Then we'll just have
to take her ourselves.
[grunts]
-Get out of my way, Billy!
-No!
You've been telling me
what to do my entire life.
Yeah, because
I'm your older sister.
I'm two years older than you!
Alright, who told Billy?
Hank, I can't send our baby away
for five years.
I'm only doing this
because I love Chloe.
Thunder Man, away!
-[electricity crackling]
-[grunts]
[coughs]
I should really stop announcing
when I'm about to fly.
Dramatic music plays
[grunts]
You can't stop me, Billy!
Yes, I can!
Speed trap!
[whooshing]
[grunts]
I'm not gonna stop, Barb.
Barb?
She's gone.
Now's my chance.
Going somewhere?
Barb, stop!
You know that chicken feathers
make me...
-[Hank inhales]
-Save yourself, bird.
[echoing sneeze]
[grunting]
Give it up, Max.
It's Super President Thunderman
to you.
-What?
-Yeah. That's right.
Guess who moved up
to the top of the list?
-Squidonculus?
-No, me!
I can't watch this.
I need to stop them.
Well, how you reckon
you gonna do that?
You're the reason
I didn't go to that school.
And I will not let you be
the reason Chloe doesn't either.
It's not my fault you didn't go.
Mom and Dad didn't want
to separate us.
Exactly, we've been
stuck together our entire lives!
And you've always been
holding me back.
Is that what you really think?
Then I promise
I won't hold anything back!
Tense, dramatic music plays
[shrill, echoing scream]
Well, I got their attention.
They're all yours.
You need to stop fighting.
Chloe, what are you doing? Run!
I'm done running, Mom.
I only came here
because I believed that you
could help me control my powers.
-And we can.
-No, you can't.
I'm going to Cognita's school.
It's the only way to put an end
to this for good.
[whooshes]
And if Max said
he located Chloe,
then I'm sure she'll be standing
in your office any second now.
[whooshes]
Honestly, it is exhausting
being right all the time.
President Kickbutt,
I've decided to go
to the Hero League school.
After the house,
the chicken, and the tractor,
I don't want to do
any more damage.
What chicken and tractor?
So, hot tubs in every dorm room,
that's cool.
You're making the right choice,
Chloe.
Cognita, please escort her
to campus.
Actually, I'll have one
of my prized students do it.
But there is one thing
you should know.
I have bigger plans for Chloe.
What did she do
to President Kickbutt?
Granite Girl calcified her
into a statue.
And she'll do the same
to your family
if you don't do what I say.
I thought you wanted
to help me control my power.
[chuckles] Oh, Chloe.
The only one that's gonna be
controlling your power is me!
Hmm? [grunts] What...
ominous music plays
Well, these past few days
have not been the best moments
for our family.
Don't worry, soon everything
will be back to normal.
Work with me, family portrait!
Maybe it's annoyed
one of our family members
is no longer here.
Or it's relieved
that Chloe's safe
at a school that can train her.
Guess we'll never know
because portraits don't talk.
Neither does Phoebe.
She'll just freeze you
and run away.
Okay, you guys
weren't listening.
I did what I thought
I had to do.
And even Chloe realized
you were wrong.
I just needed more time.
I was making progress
with her training.
All you did was turn my date
into a rotisserie combo meal!
And all you did was crash
the Thunder Van into a museum.
That wall came out of nowhere.
[Thunder monitor] Alert. Alert.
Hero League officials incoming.
Why would they come
instead of President Kickbutt?
Probably to take us into custody
for running away with Chloe.
Not all of us.
I led the charge,
I'll take the fall.
Phoebe, I can't let you do that,
but I will
because jail sounds really bad.
Everyone, chill out.
They're probably
just coming to ask me
to be Super President.
Greetings, Thundermans.
That's President Maximus to you.
Kiss the ring.
Someone get me a ring
for them to kiss.
We're not here for that.
Yeah, I know,
you're here to arrest me.
Well, if protecting my sister
is a crime,
then lock me up.
We're not here for that either.
Oh, thank goodness.
Then what is going on?
Where is President Kickbutt?
There was an incident.
Is she okay?
I'm afraid not.
Thundermans,
I've been trapped in stone!
I wanted a statue
made in my honor,
but not like this!
Captain Chisel
is working to free her.
Chiselini and I
will not let you down!
Who did this to you?
A student from the Hero League
under Cognita's orders.
[all] What?
Wait, Cognita's a villain?
She doesn't deserve to wear
the T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S. uniform!
There's more.
She took
her six best super students
and Chloe off the grid.
Is Chloe in danger?
We all are.
It's anyone's guess what Cognita
might be planning next.
Good news, Madame President,
I've freed your butt!
Thank you, Captain Chisel!
I feel the breeze.
Dramatic music plays
Welcome to Facility X.
My clandestine compound
with photobiotic camouflage,
or as Generation Duh might say,
"It's my super cool lair,
y'all."
My family would love to see
this place.
I'll call them.
Magnateen!
Sorry, no calls in class.
You forgot that I can teleport.
Bye.
Ow!
Did I?
The structural interior is lined
with a Thundertanium alloy
that's impervious
to molecular teleportation.
I don't know
what's more painful,
slamming into that wall
or hearing you talk.
My adoring students
love hearing me talk.
Right, students?
[in unison] Cognita
has the voice of an angel!
[giggles]
I think I'm going to secrete
fluid from my lacrimal glands.
-You're mind-controlling them?
-Correct.
Soon,
you'll be worshiping me, too.
Just like Granite Girl,
Magnateen, Toxic Todd,
Sludgerella, Kid Ricochet,
and Desk Boy.
What does he do? Make desks?
Desk Boy!
Huh, he does.
So am I going to get
a dumb name like them?
You sure are,
Princess Power Socket!
I don't hate it.
But why are you doing
all of this?
I once aspired
to be a great superhero,
but President Kickbutt said
that my hyper-intelligence
wasn't a "crime-fighting power."
She assigned me
to be head of the school.
Instead of becoming
a great hero,
I was given a pathetic desk job!
No offense, Desk Boy.
Desk Boy!
President Kickbutt
is about to learn
that my hyper-intelligence
is the greatest power of all,
because with it,
I can control anyone.
The Hero League will never let
you get away with this.
[chuckles]
Pretty soon
there won't be a Hero League.
I'm going to use
your ener-kinesis
to create a massive energy storm
and turn all of Metroburg
to dust.
What about all the innocent
people that live there?
[chuckles]
My plan's way too complex
for your itty-bitty little
baby brains to comprehend.
Isn't that right, besties?
[in unison] We love Cognita,
yes, we do!
Love you back!
How could this happen, guys?
I wanted Chloe to go
with Cognita to be safe.
Yeah, and instead you led her
right into the hands
of a villain.
Your plan drove our family
to war.
Okay. War is a strong word.
It was more
of a "farm kerfuffle."
I'm the one who's to blame,
I should have let Nora
tell me what to do
instead of using my Billy brain.
No, Billy, I shouldn't do that.
You should think for yourself.
So I'm not the one to blame?
Sweet!
Why are we talking
about who's to blame
instead of talking about
coming together to save Chloe?
Your mom's right.
When we work together
as a family,
nothing can stop us.
-I agree.
-Me too.
And I usually find these family
moments super cringe.
Great. So are you two
gonna work together?
I'll do it for Chloe.
But this does not mean
we're back to being partners.
Yeah, I'll work with you too,
but I won't like it.
It's good to have our loving
family getting along again.
[frame creaks]
[handcuffs click]
This headset will establish
a direct neuro-synaptic link
with your prefrontal cortex.
I built this device during
my high school graduation party.
Because you were
the only one there?
Yes.
If I can't even control
my powers,
what makes you think you can?
Because I'm infinitesimally
smarter than you.
Right, my loyal students?
[in unison] Cognita is smarter
than you and has perfect nails.
Stop making them lie to you.
Your nails are nubby!
[gasps] How dare you!
Tell her my nails aren't nubby!
[in unison]
Her nails aren't nubby.
Now, to use your power
to obliterate Metroburg.
Gotta say,
this is a pretty smart plan.
But there's just one problem.
You forgot to cuff my legs.
-I'm stuck!
-Not again, Magnateen!
Help me free
my favorite student!
No offense, Desk Boy.
[dejectedly] Desk Boy.
Come on.
[grunts]
[watch beeps]
[beeping]
It's a distress signal
from Chloe.
Doesn't she know we're busy
trying to save her?
Wait, we can use it
to pinpoint her location.
T-Force, suit up!
To the Thunder Van!
[whooshing]
Cognita, the Thundermans
are here.
[gasps] How did they find us?
I thought you knew everything,
Nubby Nails.
That's right, I can give out
nicknames, too!
Students, stop the Thundermans
while I book a manicure.
[grunting]
Chloe's got to be here
somewhere.
Cognita's super intelligent.
She must have sophisticated
security.
Or just some school children.
[spits]
[sizzles]
School children who spit acid!
With the press of this button,
your puny brain
will belong to me.
No, you can't do...
An enemy of Cognita
is an enemy of mine.
Good.
Now, to do what you were too
incompetent to do...
control your untamed power.
Success!
Time to create my energy storm.
Suspenseful music plays
[electricity crackling]
[in unison] An enemy of Cognita
is an enemy of ours.
They're being mind-controlled.
We have to get
those headbands off them.
Or we could just freeze them
and deal with it later.
Desk Boy!
Oh, man,
defeated by a desk lamp?
Sludge blast!
Billy, super-speed
and grab their headbands.
I'm stuck!
[spits]
[grunts]
-[whoosh]
-[metal clanging]
Their powers are impressive.
I know, that's why I wish
I went to that school!
[electricity crackling]
[evil laughter]
Easy. We're here to help.
Rock and roll!
I got it. [groans]
The boulder is heavy, Barb.
Help!
Maybe I can laser off
their headbands.
-Ricochet!
-Ow!
Is that what it feels like
to be lasered by me?
Yeah, that's why
when you laser me I say, "Ow!"
-Help, Billy!
-How?
I can't move my feet!
And my elbow powers
aren't working!
Off it goes.
Bye-bye, Metroburg.
Heroic music plays
Think again, big brain.
Thundermans!
How did you defeat my students?
Especially Desk Boy?
Turns out I'm really good
at laser-cutting granite.
And I'm really good at running
and grabbing things!
Wait, I have a third power.
Grabby Hands!
Step away from our sister,
Cognita.
She's not your sister anymore.
She's my weapon.
-[grunts]
-[tools clatter]
Get behind me!
We need to get
that headband off Chloe.
Maybe I can grab it
with my telekinesis.
[exclaims] Not the swoosh!
Is it okay?
Got any ideas, Billy?
You're asking me?
Is the situation that bad?
Like I said, I'm done
telling you what to think.
It's time I start listening
to you for a change.
Well, Cognita's controlling
Chloe
just like you used
to control me.
So maybe we should take out
Cognita.
Good point, we're focused
on the wrong thing.
And then we'll flood
the facility
and snorkel to safety.
One out of two isn't bad,
sweetie.
Right, we need to get closer
to Cognita.
-Push forward, Dad.
-I'll try.
[grunts]
I'll split off alone
and take her out.
What, no! Max!
Careful, Max.
Your tiny IQ is showing.
I'm smart enough
to use my telekinesis
to rip your headband off.
You can't remove it.
It's lined with Thundertanium.
And Chloe's
not the only weapon I have.
Max, look out!
Phoebe!
Hey, hey.
[panting]
I had to hold you back
one last time.
You are no match
for my hyper-intelligence.
You're right.
Let's fix that.
Uh-oh! Brainy go bye-bye!
Oh, no.
Phoebe.
Phoebe, wake up!
That blast was meant for me.
No. No, this can't happen.
You're my superhero partner.
You're my sister...
Max, prop her up.
Barb, you brought the Lasso
of Healing!
I'm a mom. We come prepared.
[energy whooshing]
[chuckles]
Hey. Come here.
Are you okay?
I think so.
Thank goodness!
What happened?
You saved me.
And then mom saved you.
Mee-Maw showed this McBooger
the ropes.
Good job, everyone.
Now, let's snorkel to safety!
We can't.
Cognita forced me
to make an energy storm
that's heading
towards Metroburg.
Like the one that destroyed
our house?
Exactly like that.
Except a whole lot bigger.
[thunder rumbling]
It looks like it's charging up
to unleash enough energy
to destroy the city.
Chloe, your power made
the storm,
your power's the only thing
that can stop it.
Yeah, Chloe. You can do this.
What?
You don't think the family
could train me
to control my power.
You guys wanted me
to go to that school.
Well, we were wrong.
Okay?
Mom and Dad reminded us
that when we work together
as a team,
nothing can stop us.
So we're going to help you
control your power right now.
All of us.
We all struggled to master
our powers
when they came in,
but each of us learned
to control them.
How?
Well, first of all, you gotta
stop saying you can't do it.
Because if you doubt yourself,
this will never work.
Yeah, it's also about trusting
your instincts.
You need to block out
all distractions
and get laser-focused.
And trust your instincts.
Wait, did someone say that?
You've seen
what your power can do.
Now, show it what you can do.
Okay. I'll try.
I made you,
now I'm gonna destroy you.
Epic, tense music plays
[lightning crashes]
[loud, rumbling explosion]
Wait!
She's got this.
Music intensifies
Take cover!
[loud explosion]
You did it, Chloe!
You saved Metroburg.
No, we saved Metroburg.
But it was mostly me.
Thanks for cleaning up
this pigsty.
Give yourself a big tip
and put it
on Hank Thunderman's tab!
Wow!
Look at this house.
It's like new again.
It just took
a little elbow grease
and 10,000 dollars
of Hank's hard-earned money.
What happened to the portrait?
Colosso happened.
And the best part of that photo
is I'm not wearing pants.
Speaking of pants,
let's get changed.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, great.
Except the part
where I delivered Chloe
into the hands of a villain,
and almost caused Metroburg
to be destroyed.
Oh, you forgot about the part
where Phoebe had to save you
and almost died.
I was getting to that.
Phoebe, I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
This whole thing showed us
that even when we're fighting,
we still have to look out
for each other.
I think we all learned
that lesson.
And nothing's stronger
than this family.
I definitely feel stronger.
Mainly because
I can do this now.
I'm calling it the "Chlo-glow."
Cool, you can be
my new night light!
[monitor beeps]
[Thunder monitor] Alert. Alert.
Incoming call
from President Kickbutt.
Thundermans, you've made
the Hero League proud.
All of Metroburg owes you
a tremendous debt.
I'll take cash,
mostly tens and 20s.
And, Phoebe, you've once again
proven your instincts
are infallible
and you never waver
under pressure.
Which is why I hereby offer you
the position of Super President
of The Hero League.
Wow. This is such an honor.
Our baby's gonna be President!
I'm not crying, you are.
I've waited for this moment
my whole life.
Now that it's here...
I have to respectfully decline.
Uh, Madame President,
what Phoebe means to say
is that she accepts
and she'll see you
at that parade.
Phoebe loves parades!
Parades love Phoebe!
No, Max, I'm serious.
You're my superhero partner.
I don't want to undo
what we just rebuilt.
I'm surprised,
but I respect your decision.
Looks like I'll have to offer
the job to Squidonculus.
I just hope he doesn't hug me
with all those suction cups.
You shouldn't have done that.
Phoebe, this is your dream.
And you might not ever get
this chance again.
I'm sorry.
My mind's made up.
Tender, solemn music plays
Hey, Max?
I want to talk
about what happened.
-[Phoebe] Max?
-[computer] Phoebe detected.
Launching hologram.
Phoebe, if you're seeing
this message,
it means you came down to talk.
But right now
I need you to listen.
I was wrong when I said
you were holding me back.
If I let you give up
your dream for me,
I'd be the one holding you back.
The best thing I can do
as your partner now
is leave.
No!
Trust me, this is
what's best for everyone.
You deserve
to be Super President.
Goodbye for now.

I promise to lead
with courage and strength,

Evil may rise,

we will rise higher.

of the Hall of Heroes,
Thunder Man!
[cheering]
Joined today
by his superhero family,
wife, Electress...
-[electricity crackling]
-[crowd cheering]
his twins,
T-Force co-captains,
Phoebe and Max...
[crowd cheering]
teleporting daughter, Chloe...
[gasps, murmurs]
laser-eyed Nora...
and super-speeding son, Billy.
[whooshing]
Nora, did you know
that this museum
has a whole room
full of heroic toilets?
That was the bathroom.
Really?
Then I overpaid for that tour.
And now to say a few words
before placing his hands
in the ceremonial wet cement...
Thunder Man!
[cheering]
Thank you,
Super President Kickbutt.
I think it was Shakespeare
who once said,
"A superhero
is like a cheese danish,
the inside is warm..."
[beeping]
"but the outside..."
Get down!
[crowd screaming]
[rumbling explosion]
dramatic music plays
Remember me, Thunder Chump?
It's The Replicator.
I locked him up years ago.
Looks like he wants revenge.
Good luck.
It's seven against one.
Not for long.
Follow me, boys.
Enemies approaching!
Prepare to engage!
All right, Thundermans.
Let's do this.
[grunting]
One down!
Wait, where'd he go?
[grunting]
Max, they both reappeared.
[grunting]
They're replicants!
When you defeat one,
another takes his place!
How do we make them stop?
If we take out the Replicator,
his replicants will vanish.
Which one is he?
They're all identical.
Dramatic music intensifies
[grunting]
dark, ominous music plays
[grunting]
Ha!
[grunts]
-[electricity crackling]
-[blubbering]
Missed me! But I won't miss you.
Chloe?
Why am I glowing?
Suspenseful music plays
[crackling explosion]
[groans]
My hand print's a butt print!
Guys, we need to end
this fight now!
Max, the Replicator's human,
so he's the only one
with body heat.
Recalibrate your watch
to detect him.
I got a better idea, Phoebe.
Cool, then I'd love
to hear it...
right after we do my plan.
T-Force, zone defense!
-Max, hurry up!
-I'm working on it!
[grunting]
-Done!
-Great. Now scan the replicants.
-[beeping]
-It's that one!
[grunts]
[screams]
heroic music plays
[laughs]
Guys, you did it!
Good job, everyone.
Yeah, except for the part
where I almost took out
the whole family!
She's right.
Great job everyone but Chloe.
I'll take Chloe
to the super doctor.
Kids, you go home with your dad.
Where is your dad?
Hank, are you signing
your butt print?
I'm doing it for the fans, Barb!
I know.
Dramatic heroic music plays
upbeat musical transition
Alright, Chloe and Mom
should be home
from the super doctor soon.
Don't forget to save
some pizza for them.
Ugh, this topping is disgusting!
[Max] Colosso!
'Cause I got yours
with rabbit food.
That's what you get
for turning me into a bunny!
Thunder Man...
going to throw up!
[snickers]
Billy, look what I found!
-Bubble Man's bubble blaster?
-Uh-huh!
Remember when I used to trap you
in a giant bubble
and roll you down the driveway?
Oh, yeah, that was really fun...
until I rolled into traffic.
Yeah. Finish eating
so we can do it again!
Hey, Phoebe.
Why'd you push
through your plan today
without listening to mine first?
I mean, we're partners,
remember?
There was no time, Max.
Chloe's power surge set us back
so I made an executive decision.
Besides, you totally helped.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah, maybe instead
of co-captain,
my title should be
"Captain Phoebe's
Li'l Helpy Guy."
Hey, don't sell yourself short.
You're my big helpy guy.
[grunts mockingly]
[Thunder monitor] Alert, alert.
Barb and Chloe Thunderman
are back
from the super doctor.
Okay, guys,
Chloe might be sensitive
about the whole
glowing incident today,
so be careful what you say.
Hey, we're home.
Hey, Chloe, how's it glowing?
No, I mean glowing!
No, wait, I mean glowing!
Going!
That was close.
Good save.
Okay, you can all relax.
Chloe, do you want
to tell them your news?
I'm getting a second power.
[all] Nice!
It's "Ener-kinesis,"
the ability to generate
and manipulate energy.
Oh, Chloe! This is so exciting.
Your second power!
I know.
I'm just like you guys now.
-And me.
-And me!
Billy, touching your elbows
together isn't a superpower.
Don't listen to her, guys.
She's just jealous.
Oh, so everyone's
all whoop-de-doo
about Chloe's new power,
but you made me give up
my flying power.
You flew south for the winter.
I went to Carnival.
Rio will never forget
these hips.
[rhythmic vocalizing
in rumba beat]
Anyway, the doctor says
Chloe has to be careful
with her new power
until she can learn
to control it.
At least it's not going off
by surprise anymore.
-Oh, come on!
-Take cover!
[energy surging]
[Colosso screams]
[Colosso] That power
is dangerous.
And so are these hips.
[rhythmic vocalizing
in rumba beat]
What good
is having a second power
if I can't even control it?
Been there.
Don't worry, we got you.
I promise we'll teach you
to control it, as a family.
Ooh, guys, the
Superhero Evening News is on!
Maybe they'll mention
my butt print.
Good evening.
I'm The Newsflash.
Today's top story:
the superhero world is abuzz
with the rumor that Hero League
Super President Kickbutt
may soon be stepping down.
Insiders say
her most likely successor
is T-Force co-captain...
Phoebe Thunderman.
[gasps] What? Me?
Well, I must be number two
on the list, so...
Her twin brother Max,
who went through a very
public evil phase,
is number five on the list,
just behind Squidonculus.
Squidonculus? He's the worst!
[Thunder monitor] Alert, alert.
Incoming call
from President Kickbutt.
Max, Phoebe, Chloe,
I need you and your parents
to report to my office
immediately.
Kickbutt out.
What do you think that's about?
You don't think... Nah.
But maybe... Nah.
Although... Nah.
I take it back,
you're the worst.
Suit up and let's go.
We'll be back.
Don't worry about us.
You can worry a little!
Heroic musical transition
Phoebe, this is so exciting!
Wasn't being president on
your fourth grade vision board?
I mean, I won't lie,
I used to dream about sitting
at this very desk.
[squeals softly]
Cork Man, plug that volcano!
Cobra Lady, quit shedding
your skin on the job!
Where's my lavender iced boba?
Having fun, Phoebe?
Yeah, this is pretty fun...
[screams]
[chuckles] That's going
on my vision board.
The reason I've asked you all
here is to talk about Chloe.
I accept!
Somebody get me
a lavender iced boba!
I'm talking
about your second power!
Ener-kinesis
is one of the rarest powers
in the hero universe.
Used right, it can be
an incredible force for good.
Just like my perfect jawline.
But without proper training,
her power can be
extremely dangerous.
-Just like...
-Your jawline. We get it.
What I'm saying
is we'd like Chloe
to enroll in the Top Secret Hero
League School for Gifted Supes.
The T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.?
You've heard of it?
Heard of it? I went there!
Or did I?
I did.
Send her in!
And get me a lavender iced boba!
I'd like you all
to meet Cognita,
the school's Super Dean.
It is such an honor to meet you,
Thundermans.
Or as they say in Latin,
Ad Honorem Eius, Thundermanes.
[chuckles]
Cognita's superpower
is hyper-intelligence.
She graduated at age six
and has been running
the school ever since.
Super intelligence, huh?
My IQ's 150, what's yours?
A hundred and 49...
thousand.
Proceed.
As the President was saying
regarding Chloe's
energy emanations,
we feel it would be sagacious
for Chloe
to matriculate at our facility.
Dumb it down, Cognita.
[laughs softly] I'll adjust
my Cerebral Modulator
to lower my intelligence
and facilitate conversation.
Come learn stuff
at our schooly place!
-Oh.
-It makes sense now.
It really is
the ideal place for Chloe
to master her amazing power.
As you'll see in this very
helpful presentation.
[announcer]
Welcome to T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.,
where you can ride
to class on one
-of our nuclear skateboards!
-Whoa.
[announcer] Or join one of our
jetpack-powered sports teams!
-Cool!
-But most important,
our superhero trainers
will teach you to control
your new power
before you destroy a small city.
Exciting adventures await you.
We hope to see you here soon,
Chloe Thunderman.
That school looks so cool!
And there's hot tubs
in every dorm room.
No way! Can I go to this school?
Wait, "dorm room"?
So I'd be sleeping at school?
Yes, it's a four-year
boarding school.
After which you'll be assigned
to a super team
for another year.
So I'd be away from home
for five years?
Yeah, and Chloe's already
on a superteam.
Not anymore.
Chloe's banned
from doing missions
until she masters her power.
And as for missing home,
she'll be allowed to visit
every quarter.
Can the hot tubs come to visit?
-No.
-Okay.
Chloe, I know this sounds
like a big step.
But this could be your chance
to become a legendary hero.
We're gonna need
to discuss it as a family.
Time to go, Chloe.
Oh, wait, but I can answer
any questions.
Oh, yeah,
do I still hold the record
for eating the most corn dogs
while flying upside-down?
Hit it, Chloe.
Upbeat musical transition
And the sports teams
wear jetpacks!
The only thing that can make
that school better
is if they had hot tubs
in the dorm rooms.
They do!
Whoa, that's my kind
of schooly place!
I just wish I'd gone
to that school
when I was Chloe's age
instead of learning
all that lame stuff.
You mean reading and writing?
Exactly.
When am I gonna need that?
What do you think, Chloe?
That school is the gold standard
for powers training.
And it's a one-way ticket
to getting your own cement
butt print.
Yeah, that's every girl's dream.
I think I'm going up
to my room for a little while.
Of course, honey.
You've had quite
an eventful day.
So you guys'll make her go
to that school, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're not seriously saying
we should send Chloe away
for five years.
Well, you heard Kickbutt.
She can come visit
every quarter.
It would be nice
if Chloe learned
to control her new powers.
Yes, and we'll teach her.
But what if we can't, Phoebe?
What do you mean?
We all learned at home.
I mean, Nora,
before Mom trained you,
you were constantly lasering
Billy by mistake.
Yeah. By mistake.
And, Billy, Dad taught you
to super-speed around the ocean.
Oh, yeah, I don't get trapped
in those Japanese
fishermen's nets anymore.
Chloe's new power is way
stronger than those, Phoebe.
I'm afraid she could
hurt herself.
I agree with Phoebe.
The answer is no,
same as the first time.
First time?
Did I say first time?
I meant "thirst time."
Yes, I will get us drinks.
[Max and Phoebe] Stop.
What did you mean "first time"?
We never told you this before,
but when you and Phoebe
were Chloe's age,
one of you was invited
to attend that same school.
Really? Why didn't I go?
Oh, it wasn't you, Phoebe.
It was Max.
[together] What?
But it's a school!
Schools love Phoebe!
Phoebe loves schools!
No, you both had heat breath,
freeze breath, and telekinesis,
but Max could also make
incredible gadgets,
so he got accepted.
So why didn't I go?
We thought it was a bad idea
to split up twins.
What?
I can't believe this.
How could you guys
have done that to me?
Done what?
You still became one of the best
superheroes in the world.
Maybe I would have been
the best.
Maybe I would've reached
my true potential
instead of being half
of the Thunder Twins.
What's that supposed to mean?
No offense, but sometimes I wish
I didn't have to compromise
with you all the time
like I did today.
Well, Max,
if you'd gone to that school,
who would've helped you
through your evil phase?
Maybe I wouldn't have had
an evil phase, Mom.
And then I'd be next on the list
to be president
instead of Phoebe.
Oh, I see, okay.
So this is typical.
You're making it all about you
when it should be about Chloe.
It is about Chloe.
I don't want her to be denied
this opportunity like I was.
This is good stuff!
Nora, what do you think?
I think Chloe
should go to that school
so she doesn't hurt herself.
Billy, now you yell something!
Chloe should stay,
'cause kids should live
with their parents
forever and ever,
just like I'm going to.
Billy, stop using
your own brain.
I just think Chloe should stay.
No, she should go
and learn her new power!
-She should stay!
-She should go!
We're not sending her away
for five years!
[overlapping arguments]
Guys, guys! Stop arguing!
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
Tense music plays
-What do we do?
-Save yourselves!
Maxes and rabbits first!
[whooshing]
Everybody get to the lair!
-Me first!
-No, me first!
-Somebody go!
-Just go!
-[screams]
-[groans]
[Max] You're on my butt!
[pants]
What happened
to Mom, Dad and Chloe?
Oh, right. We have stairs.
I'll put us in lockdown mode!
Intense music plays
[doors clanging shut]
Get down! Now!
[loud crashing]
Is everybody okay?
Let me check.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[gasps] Eleven?
I gained a finger! [laughs]
Should we go back upstairs?
Let's hope
we still have an upstairs.
[computer beeps]
[door whirs]
dramatic music plays
Our house!
I'm sorry.
Sweetie, this is not your fault.
The important thing
is that we're all safe.
I'm fine, thanks for asking!
Sorry, Colosso.
Whatever.
I'm gonna go ask a mole
to give me a tongue bath.
[electricity crackling]
Thundermans.
President Kickbutt! [laughs] Hi!
Uh, funny story.
We were just making popcorn...
Yeah, and then I said, "Dad,
you're creating
an energy storm."
Save it! We know it was Chloe.
I'm hereby ordering her
to report
to the Hero League School
and learn to control her powers
before people get hurt.
That's not your choice to make!
Everybody, just calm down.
I can give Chloe a harmless
numbing agent
to dull her power
and protect her
while we talk this out.
-Is that okay, Chloe?
-I guess.
It's dechlorinated sulfate.
Or as you would call it,
coconut sea breeze.
Alright.
Now come with us, Chloe.
Ominous music plays
I said come with us.
-Hank?
-It's for her own safety, Barb.
Yeah, Mom.
If you want Chloe, you're gonna
have to go through me.
Are you serious?
Chloe is a Thunderman.
She belongs with us.
But she can't control her power.
Then we'll train her.
Maybe you don't think
we can, but I do.
Step aside, Phoebe.
I'm not moving.
Me too.
Me four.
I suggest you think this over
very carefully.
Defying my orders
is an act of super treason.
Chloe, what do you want to do?
I don't want to go
to that school.
That's all I needed to hear.
Phoebe, what are you doing?
Yeah, have you lost your mind?
Guys, I can't let you do this.
I'm so sorry.
What do we do now?
We run!
Ah, fresh as a daisy.
What'd I miss?
[yelps]
I really gotta start taking
shorter tongue baths.
Don't worry, Maxy,
I'll unfreeze you.
I have a secret weapon
that can melt anything.
My hot Carnival moves!
Huh, I really thought
that'd work.
Time to bring in
some serious firepower.
Max's hair dryer!
Phoebe, don't you do it!
She did it.
They took Chloe.
I'm afraid I have no choice
but to declare Phoebe, Barb
and Billy
fugitives of the Hero League.
This isn't like Barb.
She always follows
Hero League orders.
And Billy always follows
my orders.
We're in uncharted waters, Dad.
Well, at least
with Chloe's powers numbed,
she can't teleport
or blow up any houses.
For now.
But it's only a matter of time
until the numbing agent
wears off
and Chloe hurts herself
and everyone around her.
Cognita's right.
I always am.
I built a computer out of Legos
when I was one.
Max, I want you to lead
what's left of the T-Force
on a mission to retrieve Chloe.
Lead on my own? It's about time.
Don't worry, President Kickbutt,
I won't let you down.
Yeah, we won't let you down!
What? I'm not staying
behind in this trash heap.
I can't believe we...
-And then we... And now we...
-I know!
Wait, how did we beat Billy
here?
Sorry I'm late.
I had to circle the earth
like 80 times waiting for you!
Look, I'm sure
becoming fugitives
isn't what anyone wanted,
but it was the only way
to protect Chloe.
I'm sorry you had
to throw away your dream
of becoming
Hero League President.
Don't be silly.
So what if I threw away
my "lifelong dream."
I have other dreams.
-No, you don't.
-No, I don't.
But I know you belong
with your family,
not at that school.
I just wish your father
could see that.
And Nora. It's like college is
making her unsmarterer.
They will, because we're going
to train Chloe ourselves
and fix all this.
-You are?
-Yes.
If we prove to the Hero League
you can control your new power,
they won't force you
to go to that school.
And Max, Dad, and Nora
will see we're right.
And then we can go back
to being a family.
And Phoebe
can still be Galactic Emperor!
It's Super President, but, yes!
Dream back on!
Not if we get thrown
into super jail.
We need to get far away
from here.
Can Chloe take us to Nigeria?
There's a prince there
that owes me money.
I can't teleport us anywhere.
My powers don't work.
Right, that means we can't start
your training either.
We need to reverse
that numbing agent.
Hey, when I was on that tour
of The Hall of Heroes,
I saw Antidote Man's Lasso
of Healing.
It can cure anything.
Then maybe it can restore
my powers!
I meant it could cure
my fear of rodeo clowns,
but your idea is good, too.
Guys, we're wanted fugitives.
We can't just stroll
into a crowded museum.
Yeah, you're right.
We can't just stroll in, but...
four museum-loving tourists can!
See? I told you
we'd fit right in.
Never doubt the power
of a tummy tote.
Always have. Always will.
Oh, it's Nora.
She's asking me
to send her a "shelfie"
so I don't lose my streak.
Ooh, is that when you take
a picture with a seashell?
That's ridiculous, Mom.
A shelfie is a picture of me
standing in front
of a random shelf.
Here's yesterday's.
Don't send that, Billy.
They're trying to trick you
into giving them our location.
But look at the shelves
in this place!
Okay. Okay.
We got to focus
on getting that lasso.
It's located
inside the Gallery of Gadgets.
There's a security guard
outside.
Chloe and Billy,
you distract him
while Mom and I
slip into the gallery.
No problem, we got this.
Yeah, people are always
calling me a distraction.
Follow my lead, sis.
Hey, folks. No touching
or licking the exhibits.
It happens a lot more
than you think.
Do you mind talking to us
while not paying attention
to anything else?
What he means is I'm doing
an article for my school paper.
It's about how security guards
are society's real superheroes.
That's what I keep telling
my mom!
Can we get some pics?
Sure!
Show me "brave!"
-[camera clicks]
-Yeah. That's the stuff.
Now show me "surprised."
Oh, yeah.
Exciting music plays
Okay.
The coast is clear.
Now, how do we get
the lasso off the podium
without setting off that alarm?
You're going to zap it
and force a system reboot.
That'll give us exactly
30 seconds to steal the lasso
before the alarm
comes back online.
I guess I'm up then.
You know, we don't do a lot
of stuff just us. It's nice.
Yeah, I love you, too.
Now, fry that alarm!
[electricity crackling]
[timer beeping]
Alright, I'll use my power
to pick up the glass,
you grab the lasso.
-Oh, no.
-Oh, no? What "oh, no"?
We don't have time for "oh, no!"
There's a pressure sensor
on that podium.
If the lasso's not touching it
before the alarm comes back
online, it's gonna go off.
What are we going to do?
I have an idea.
[timer winds down, shuts off]
I can't believe that worked.
Me, either.
I'm gonna miss
that tummy tote, though.
I was really rocking it.
Oh, honey, you really weren't.
Show me "fierce!"
[hisses]
Now show me "I ate a bad taco!"
[groans]
Okay, time to get these pictures
back to my newspaper.
Good, because I really did eat
a bad taco.
-Did you get the lasso?
-We got it!
Now all we have to do
is act cool and leave.
There they are!
New plan, run the other way!
We gotta slow them down.
I'll trip the alarm.
[alarm blaring]
[Max yells] My perfect jawline!
I was just trying to buy us some
time, but that was a fun bonus.
I don't get it,
how did they find us?
I'm sorry!
We were taking selfies
with the guard
and I saw
this sweet shelf and...
I'm only superhuman!
It doesn't matter, right now
we gotta get out of here.
One problem,
we're trapped!
We can't let them get away.
Bash in that door, Dad.
Thunder Man, bashing away!
[loud thuds]
Uh-oh, Dad's coming in!
Chloe, teleport us out of here.
I can't.
My powers aren't back yet.
That means it's time
to use Antidote Man's lasso.
Mom, you were raised on a farm.
-Darn tootin'.
-Can you use a lasso?
I mean,
I don't want to brag but...
[mumbling]
This is why
I didn't want to brag.
[loud thuds]
The door's about to give.
Tense music plays
I don't think anything
can save us now.
[horn blares]
I got them, Max!
What about that?
That'll work.
-Move over, rabbit.
-[Colosso grunts]
Colosso?
Sorry, Max,
I was just trying to help!
I'll fly after them.
Thunder Man, awa...
-[electric crackling]
-[grunts]
-You just tased Thunder Man!
-Oh!
Please don't tell my mom!
Solemn heroic music plays
[chicken squawks]
What are we doing here?
We needed someone we could trust
to make that lasso work.
What do y'all think you're doin'
parking that jalopy
in my driveway?
I think we're coming to find
a grumpy farm lady
who needs to simmer down.
Barbie Bear!
Mom!
[all] Mee-Maw!
[laughing]
[Colosso]
Help! Let me out of here!
We forgot about Dr. Colosso.
[sighs]
Is this how you treat the person
who saved you by mistake?
-Yup.
-Oh, absolutely.
Mind if we stay a while?
Of course.
The McBooger farm
will always be home to my Barb
and my baby McBoogers.
[laughs]
I forgot! Barb's maiden name
is McBooger. [laughs]
Did you also forget
about my sonic scream?
[piercing scream echoes]
Yes, I did.
So did I!
Thanks,
it's called a Hawaiian shirt.
Dramatic heroic music plays
And with the lasso
able to restore Chloe's powers,
who knows what havoc
her ener-kinetic abilities
could unleash.
President Kickbutt,
I know we messed up.
But I promise
we will recover Chloe
before anything bad happens.
You'd better.
Otherwise your first mission
leading without Phoebe
will be your last.
And now,
I need Hank to go explain
to the Hall of Heroes trustees
why he didn't rabbit-proof
the Thunder Van.
I didn't think
he could reach the pedals!
Look, Max, even a person
with a below average IQ
and mild astigmatism could see
you're feeling discouraged.
It's just...
Chloe is in actual danger.
And I don't understand
why Phoebe doesn't see that.
Well, there's a reason you were
accepted to T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S.
and she wasn't.
[scoffs]
Because she's a butthead.
You and Phoebe
may be di-zygotic siblings,
but you tower over her
in computational prowess.
Thank you?
I'll dial it down.
You guys are twinsies,
but you're like
a super smart tech wiz,
-which makes you better.
-[chuckles] Yeah, I am!
Wait, I got it.
Why don't I just use
my tech wizness
to build a machine
that can track
Chloe's energy bursts?
See? This is why everyone thinks
you're the new favorite
to be Super President.
Everyone thinks that?
Well, not Squidonculus.
Show them they're right, Max.
Yeah. Yeah, I will.
Thanks, Cognita.
Time to go save Chloe.
He said he was sorry!
Right after I go save
Dad and Nora.
Dramatic music plays
Can you look at this lasso, Mom?
It's not like
my old electro-whip.
I can't seem to make it work.
Well, of course you can't,
you're all a bunch
of fancy pants city slickers.
I'm not a city slicker.
[whooshing]
See? I just milked my first cow!
This farm doesn't have cows.
Well, this day just got weird.
Okay, sweet pea,
give me some room.
It's been a while
since I used a lasso,
but I'm gonna give it a try.
- upbeat music plays
- [laughs] Woo!
Chloe?
How do you feel?
Are your powers back?
There's only one way
to find out.
So, Lola, what time
do you get off work tonight?
-[chicken squawks]
-Hey!
You scared away the fourth
future Mrs. Dr. Colosso!
Yes!
Good job, Mee-Maw!
When I'm Super President,
I'm making you
Secretary of Ropes.
Hey, as long as I'm
the Secretary of Mystery Milk.
Okay, Chloe,
you can teleport again,
so your energy powers
must be back too.
But maybe
I can control them now.
Nope.
Now I'm the Secretary
of Nothing!
-Sorry, guys.
-Don't be sorry, Chloe!
Now that your powers are back,
we can teach you
to control them
and make things right.
I can't wait until our family's
together again.
Although not here,
chicken feathers
make your dad sneeze.
They do?
Now I like Lola even more!
Come back here,
my little chicky-boo!
Playful music plays
Oh, good,
you guys are just in time.
Max, have you been up all night?
Seriously, you look awful.
-Like really, really...
-Yeah, I get it!
I was up all night
working on my quasiparticle
thermo-energy detector.
It'll alert me if Chloe releases
any big energy...
[yawns]
blasts.
Max, you should get some rest.
Dad, there's no time for sleep,
okay?
With Chloe's powers back,
she's a ticking time bomb.
Nora, if you see me
dozing off, laser me.
Don't have to tell me twice.
Alright. Time to fire
this baby up. [chuckles]
[grunts]
Thank you.
Oh, it's just like
having Billy back.
Calm music plays
Now, Chloe,
meditation can help you
control your new power
from within.
First, we must create
an atmosphere of calm.
-Phoebe, are you...
-I said "calm"!
Everyone, clear your mind.
Done!
Connect to the power
within you, Chloe,
and release it slowly.
[soft whirring]
Oh, Lola, promise me
you'll never change.
-[power whooshes]
-[chicken squawks]
[groans]
I wish I could say that's
the first time that's happened.
-Oops.
-Don't worry.
We have a few other things
we can try.
I know you got this.
Okay, so you haven't got this.
But 67th time's the charm.
Maybe taking a break
is the charm.
Or we could try visualization.
Here.
Move, move, move.
Picture yourself
hitting the target in your mind,
and you'll do it in real life.
I don't know,
I tried that during
potty training
and it didn't work.
Go ahead, Chloe.
-I'll give it a try.
-Mm-hmm.
I'm picturing it...
-You okay, honey?
-She's fine.
You got this, Chloe.
Take the shot.
Anytime now.
I'm trying,
but it's not working.
Just try harder. You can do it!
Come on, stupid powers. Work!
What's happening?
I think it's gonna blow!
[rumbling explosion]
[machine beeps]
[computer]
Ener-kinetic blast detected.
My machine found Chloe!
Dramatic music plays
Oh, she's at Mee-Maw's farm.
Let's go get her.
-Nora!
-What? Your eyes were closed.
I was blinking!
[Phoebe groans]
What in Ol' MacDonald's outhouse
was that?
The tractor blew up,
but we're fine.
I'm not!
What happened
to my eleventh finger?
Okay, so minor setback,
but we have other things
we can try.
Like hypnosis.
Look into my eyes...
Face it, Phoebe.
This is never gonna work.
Of course it will.
No, I'm serious.
Half our family doesn't even
think training me is possible.
Yeah, they're wrong! And we're
gonna prove it to them.
So, come on,
let's get back to training.
Phoebe, don't you think you're
pushing her too hard?
Uh, maybe not hard enough!
I gave up being Super President
for her.
You made that choice!
I never asked you to!
I never asked for any of this.
Well...
[sighs] Yeah.
You're right, I'm sorry.
[exhales] This is all my fault.
Maybe I'm pushing you so hard
because I'm scared.
Scared of what?
That I'm the one that's wrong.
That we can't teach you
to control your powers.
That I gave up my dream
and ripped this family apart
for nothing.
It wasn't for nothing.
You were following
your instincts.
Don't start doubting yourself
or the power of this family.
Thanks, Mom.
You know who taught your mom how
to give such powerful pep talks?
Me? I'm a really good son.
So, what do you say, Chloe?
You up for trying again?
I have a feeling
nothing is gonna stop you
from mastering your powers.
[Max] Phoebe, we know
you're in there!
And that feeling is gone.
Max came to rescue me!
[Max] Give us Chloe,
you can keep Colosso!
This is why I have anger issues.
Okay, Mee-Maw,
you stay with Chloe.
We'll handle them.
[sighs]
Time for a family reunion.
Heroic music plays
-Where's Chloe?
-Don't worry, she's safe.
We've been training her.
Someone could get hurt, Phoebe.
The only real safe place
for Chloe to go
is Cognita's school.
We're not sending Chloe
to that place.
How dare you speak that way
about T.S.H... [grumbles]
You know what I mean!
Hey, Billy,
wanna grab Chloe for us?
You can't trick me like you did
with that shelfie.
By the way, there's a sweet
shelf in Mee-Maw's barn.
It's over, Phoebe.
Just give us Chloe.
Come on, you know
we can't do that, Max.
Then we'll just have
to take her ourselves.
[grunts]
-Get out of my way, Billy!
-No!
You've been telling me
what to do my entire life.
Yeah, because
I'm your older sister.
I'm two years older than you!
Alright, who told Billy?
Hank, I can't send our baby away
for five years.
I'm only doing this
because I love Chloe.
Thunder Man, away!
-[electricity crackling]
-[grunts]
[coughs]
I should really stop announcing
when I'm about to fly.
Dramatic music plays
[grunts]
You can't stop me, Billy!
Yes, I can!
Speed trap!
[whooshing]
[grunts]
I'm not gonna stop, Barb.
Barb?
She's gone.
Now's my chance.
Going somewhere?
Barb, stop!
You know that chicken feathers
make me...
-[Hank inhales]
-Save yourself, bird.
[echoing sneeze]
[grunting]
Give it up, Max.
It's Super President Thunderman
to you.
-What?
-Yeah. That's right.
Guess who moved up
to the top of the list?
-Squidonculus?
-No, me!
I can't watch this.
I need to stop them.
Well, how you reckon
you gonna do that?
You're the reason
I didn't go to that school.
And I will not let you be
the reason Chloe doesn't either.
It's not my fault you didn't go.
Mom and Dad didn't want
to separate us.
Exactly, we've been
stuck together our entire lives!
And you've always been
holding me back.
Is that what you really think?
Then I promise
I won't hold anything back!
Tense, dramatic music plays
[shrill, echoing scream]
Well, I got their attention.
They're all yours.
You need to stop fighting.
Chloe, what are you doing? Run!
I'm done running, Mom.
I only came here
because I believed that you
could help me control my powers.
-And we can.
-No, you can't.
I'm going to Cognita's school.
It's the only way to put an end
to this for good.
[whooshes]
And if Max said
he located Chloe,
then I'm sure she'll be standing
in your office any second now.
[whooshes]
Honestly, it is exhausting
being right all the time.
President Kickbutt,
I've decided to go
to the Hero League school.
After the house,
the chicken, and the tractor,
I don't want to do
any more damage.
What chicken and tractor?
So, hot tubs in every dorm room,
that's cool.
You're making the right choice,
Chloe.
Cognita, please escort her
to campus.
Actually, I'll have one
of my prized students do it.
But there is one thing
you should know.
I have bigger plans for Chloe.
What did she do
to President Kickbutt?
Granite Girl calcified her
into a statue.
And she'll do the same
to your family
if you don't do what I say.
I thought you wanted
to help me control my power.
[chuckles] Oh, Chloe.
The only one that's gonna be
controlling your power is me!
Hmm? [grunts] What...
ominous music plays
Well, these past few days
have not been the best moments
for our family.
Don't worry, soon everything
will be back to normal.
Work with me, family portrait!
Maybe it's annoyed
one of our family members
is no longer here.
Or it's relieved
that Chloe's safe
at a school that can train her.
Guess we'll never know
because portraits don't talk.
Neither does Phoebe.
She'll just freeze you
and run away.
Okay, you guys
weren't listening.
I did what I thought
I had to do.
And even Chloe realized
you were wrong.
I just needed more time.
I was making progress
with her training.
All you did was turn my date
into a rotisserie combo meal!
And all you did was crash
the Thunder Van into a museum.
That wall came out of nowhere.
[Thunder monitor] Alert. Alert.
Hero League officials incoming.
Why would they come
instead of President Kickbutt?
Probably to take us into custody
for running away with Chloe.
Not all of us.
I led the charge,
I'll take the fall.
Phoebe, I can't let you do that,
but I will
because jail sounds really bad.
Everyone, chill out.
They're probably
just coming to ask me
to be Super President.
Greetings, Thundermans.
That's President Maximus to you.
Kiss the ring.
Someone get me a ring
for them to kiss.
We're not here for that.
Yeah, I know,
you're here to arrest me.
Well, if protecting my sister
is a crime,
then lock me up.
We're not here for that either.
Oh, thank goodness.
Then what is going on?
Where is President Kickbutt?
There was an incident.
Is she okay?
I'm afraid not.
Thundermans,
I've been trapped in stone!
I wanted a statue
made in my honor,
but not like this!
Captain Chisel
is working to free her.
Chiselini and I
will not let you down!
Who did this to you?
A student from the Hero League
under Cognita's orders.
[all] What?
Wait, Cognita's a villain?
She doesn't deserve to wear
the T.S.H.L.S.F.G.S. uniform!
There's more.
She took
her six best super students
and Chloe off the grid.
Is Chloe in danger?
We all are.
It's anyone's guess what Cognita
might be planning next.
Good news, Madame President,
I've freed your butt!
Thank you, Captain Chisel!
I feel the breeze.
Dramatic music plays
Welcome to Facility X.
My clandestine compound
with photobiotic camouflage,
or as Generation Duh might say,
"It's my super cool lair,
y'all."
My family would love to see
this place.
I'll call them.
Magnateen!
Sorry, no calls in class.
You forgot that I can teleport.
Bye.
Ow!
Did I?
The structural interior is lined
with a Thundertanium alloy
that's impervious
to molecular teleportation.
I don't know
what's more painful,
slamming into that wall
or hearing you talk.
My adoring students
love hearing me talk.
Right, students?
[in unison] Cognita
has the voice of an angel!
[giggles]
I think I'm going to secrete
fluid from my lacrimal glands.
-You're mind-controlling them?
-Correct.
Soon,
you'll be worshiping me, too.
Just like Granite Girl,
Magnateen, Toxic Todd,
Sludgerella, Kid Ricochet,
and Desk Boy.
What does he do? Make desks?
Desk Boy!
Huh, he does.
So am I going to get
a dumb name like them?
You sure are,
Princess Power Socket!
I don't hate it.
But why are you doing
all of this?
I once aspired
to be a great superhero,
but President Kickbutt said
that my hyper-intelligence
wasn't a "crime-fighting power."
She assigned me
to be head of the school.
Instead of becoming
a great hero,
I was given a pathetic desk job!
No offense, Desk Boy.
Desk Boy!
President Kickbutt
is about to learn
that my hyper-intelligence
is the greatest power of all,
because with it,
I can control anyone.
The Hero League will never let
you get away with this.
[chuckles]
Pretty soon
there won't be a Hero League.
I'm going to use
your ener-kinesis
to create a massive energy storm
and turn all of Metroburg
to dust.
What about all the innocent
people that live there?
[chuckles]
My plan's way too complex
for your itty-bitty little
baby brains to comprehend.
Isn't that right, besties?
[in unison] We love Cognita,
yes, we do!
Love you back!
How could this happen, guys?
I wanted Chloe to go
with Cognita to be safe.
Yeah, and instead you led her
right into the hands
of a villain.
Your plan drove our family
to war.
Okay. War is a strong word.
It was more
of a "farm kerfuffle."
I'm the one who's to blame,
I should have let Nora
tell me what to do
instead of using my Billy brain.
No, Billy, I shouldn't do that.
You should think for yourself.
So I'm not the one to blame?
Sweet!
Why are we talking
about who's to blame
instead of talking about
coming together to save Chloe?
Your mom's right.
When we work together
as a family,
nothing can stop us.
-I agree.
-Me too.
And I usually find these family
moments super cringe.
Great. So are you two
gonna work together?
I'll do it for Chloe.
But this does not mean
we're back to being partners.
Yeah, I'll work with you too,
but I won't like it.
It's good to have our loving
family getting along again.
[frame creaks]
[handcuffs click]
This headset will establish
a direct neuro-synaptic link
with your prefrontal cortex.
I built this device during
my high school graduation party.
Because you were
the only one there?
Yes.
If I can't even control
my powers,
what makes you think you can?
Because I'm infinitesimally
smarter than you.
Right, my loyal students?
[in unison] Cognita is smarter
than you and has perfect nails.
Stop making them lie to you.
Your nails are nubby!
[gasps] How dare you!
Tell her my nails aren't nubby!
[in unison]
Her nails aren't nubby.
Now, to use your power
to obliterate Metroburg.
Gotta say,
this is a pretty smart plan.
But there's just one problem.
You forgot to cuff my legs.
-I'm stuck!
-Not again, Magnateen!
Help me free
my favorite student!
No offense, Desk Boy.
[dejectedly] Desk Boy.
Come on.
[grunts]
[watch beeps]
[beeping]
It's a distress signal
from Chloe.
Doesn't she know we're busy
trying to save her?
Wait, we can use it
to pinpoint her location.
T-Force, suit up!
To the Thunder Van!
[whooshing]
Cognita, the Thundermans
are here.
[gasps] How did they find us?
I thought you knew everything,
Nubby Nails.
That's right, I can give out
nicknames, too!
Students, stop the Thundermans
while I book a manicure.
[grunting]
Chloe's got to be here
somewhere.
Cognita's super intelligent.
She must have sophisticated
security.
Or just some school children.
[spits]
[sizzles]
School children who spit acid!
With the press of this button,
your puny brain
will belong to me.
No, you can't do...
An enemy of Cognita
is an enemy of mine.
Good.
Now, to do what you were too
incompetent to do...
control your untamed power.
Success!
Time to create my energy storm.
Suspenseful music plays
[electricity crackling]
[in unison] An enemy of Cognita
is an enemy of ours.
They're being mind-controlled.
We have to get
those headbands off them.
Or we could just freeze them
and deal with it later.
Desk Boy!
Oh, man,
defeated by a desk lamp?
Sludge blast!
Billy, super-speed
and grab their headbands.
I'm stuck!
[spits]
[grunts]
-[whoosh]
-[metal clanging]
Their powers are impressive.
I know, that's why I wish
I went to that school!
[electricity crackling]
[evil laughter]
Easy. We're here to help.
Rock and roll!
I got it. [groans]
The boulder is heavy, Barb.
Help!
Maybe I can laser off
their headbands.
-Ricochet!
-Ow!
Is that what it feels like
to be lasered by me?
Yeah, that's why
when you laser me I say, "Ow!"
-Help, Billy!
-How?
I can't move my feet!
And my elbow powers
aren't working!
Off it goes.
Bye-bye, Metroburg.
Heroic music plays
Think again, big brain.
Thundermans!
How did you defeat my students?
Especially Desk Boy?
Turns out I'm really good
at laser-cutting granite.
And I'm really good at running
and grabbing things!
Wait, I have a third power.
Grabby Hands!
Step away from our sister,
Cognita.
She's not your sister anymore.
She's my weapon.
-[grunts]
-[tools clatter]
Get behind me!
We need to get
that headband off Chloe.
Maybe I can grab it
with my telekinesis.
[exclaims] Not the swoosh!
Is it okay?
Got any ideas, Billy?
You're asking me?
Is the situation that bad?
Like I said, I'm done
telling you what to think.
It's time I start listening
to you for a change.
Well, Cognita's controlling
Chloe
just like you used
to control me.
So maybe we should take out
Cognita.
Good point, we're focused
on the wrong thing.
And then we'll flood
the facility
and snorkel to safety.
One out of two isn't bad,
sweetie.
Right, we need to get closer
to Cognita.
-Push forward, Dad.
-I'll try.
[grunts]
I'll split off alone
and take her out.
What, no! Max!
Careful, Max.
Your tiny IQ is showing.
I'm smart enough
to use my telekinesis
to rip your headband off.
You can't remove it.
It's lined with Thundertanium.
And Chloe's
not the only weapon I have.
Max, look out!
Phoebe!
Hey, hey.
[panting]
I had to hold you back
one last time.
You are no match
for my hyper-intelligence.
You're right.
Let's fix that.
Uh-oh! Brainy go bye-bye!
Oh, no.
Phoebe.
Phoebe, wake up!
That blast was meant for me.
No. No, this can't happen.
You're my superhero partner.
You're my sister...
Max, prop her up.
Barb, you brought the Lasso
of Healing!
I'm a mom. We come prepared.
[energy whooshing]
[chuckles]
Hey. Come here.
Are you okay?
I think so.
Thank goodness!
What happened?
You saved me.
And then mom saved you.
Mee-Maw showed this McBooger
the ropes.
Good job, everyone.
Now, let's snorkel to safety!
We can't.
Cognita forced me
to make an energy storm
that's heading
towards Metroburg.
Like the one that destroyed
our house?
Exactly like that.
Except a whole lot bigger.
[thunder rumbling]
It looks like it's charging up
to unleash enough energy
to destroy the city.
Chloe, your power made
the storm,
your power's the only thing
that can stop it.
Yeah, Chloe. You can do this.
What?
You don't think the family
could train me
to control my power.
You guys wanted me
to go to that school.
Well, we were wrong.
Okay?
Mom and Dad reminded us
that when we work together
as a team,
nothing can stop us.
So we're going to help you
control your power right now.
All of us.
We all struggled to master
our powers
when they came in,
but each of us learned
to control them.
How?
Well, first of all, you gotta
stop saying you can't do it.
Because if you doubt yourself,
this will never work.
Yeah, it's also about trusting
your instincts.
You need to block out
all distractions
and get laser-focused.
And trust your instincts.
Wait, did someone say that?
You've seen
what your power can do.
Now, show it what you can do.
Okay. I'll try.
I made you,
now I'm gonna destroy you.
Epic, tense music plays
[lightning crashes]
[loud, rumbling explosion]
Wait!
She's got this.
Music intensifies
Take cover!
[loud explosion]
You did it, Chloe!
You saved Metroburg.
No, we saved Metroburg.
But it was mostly me.
Thanks for cleaning up
this pigsty.
Give yourself a big tip
and put it
on Hank Thunderman's tab!
Wow!
Look at this house.
It's like new again.
It just took
a little elbow grease
and 10,000 dollars
of Hank's hard-earned money.
What happened to the portrait?
Colosso happened.
And the best part of that photo
is I'm not wearing pants.
Speaking of pants,
let's get changed.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, great.
Except the part
where I delivered Chloe
into the hands of a villain,
and almost caused Metroburg
to be destroyed.
Oh, you forgot about the part
where Phoebe had to save you
and almost died.
I was getting to that.
Phoebe, I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
This whole thing showed us
that even when we're fighting,
we still have to look out
for each other.
I think we all learned
that lesson.
And nothing's stronger
than this family.
I definitely feel stronger.
Mainly because
I can do this now.
I'm calling it the "Chlo-glow."
Cool, you can be
my new night light!
[monitor beeps]
[Thunder monitor] Alert. Alert.
Incoming call
from President Kickbutt.
Thundermans, you've made
the Hero League proud.
All of Metroburg owes you
a tremendous debt.
I'll take cash,
mostly tens and 20s.
And, Phoebe, you've once again
proven your instincts
are infallible
and you never waver
under pressure.
Which is why I hereby offer you
the position of Super President
of The Hero League.
Wow. This is such an honor.
Our baby's gonna be President!
I'm not crying, you are.
I've waited for this moment
my whole life.
Now that it's here...
I have to respectfully decline.
Uh, Madame President,
what Phoebe means to say
is that she accepts
and she'll see you
at that parade.
Phoebe loves parades!
Parades love Phoebe!
No, Max, I'm serious.
You're my superhero partner.
I don't want to undo
what we just rebuilt.
I'm surprised,
but I respect your decision.
Looks like I'll have to offer
the job to Squidonculus.
I just hope he doesn't hug me
with all those suction cups.
You shouldn't have done that.
Phoebe, this is your dream.
And you might not ever get
this chance again.
I'm sorry.
My mind's made up.
Tender, solemn music plays
Hey, Max?
I want to talk
about what happened.
-[Phoebe] Max?
-[computer] Phoebe detected.
Launching hologram.
Phoebe, if you're seeing
this message,
it means you came down to talk.
But right now
I need you to listen.
I was wrong when I said
you were holding me back.
If I let you give up
your dream for me,
I'd be the one holding you back.
The best thing I can do
as your partner now
is leave.
No!
Trust me, this is
what's best for everyone.
You deserve
to be Super President.
Goodbye for now.
Dramatic music plays

Do you solemnly swear

Super President

[Phoebe] And as your
new Super President,
I promise to lead
with courage and strength,
leaning on everything
my family has taught me.
With them,
I've taken on supervillains,

Evil may rise,
but together
we will rise higher.
