0:04:12 > 0:04:15Come on, we need to get costumes!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20One of us should be Dark Bunny, and the other, Bionic Bunny!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'll be Dark Bunny!

0:04:30 > 0:04:32In case I need a little energy boost!

0:04:34 > 0:04:35So, I'm going as Bionic Bunny

0:04:35 > 0:04:37and Arthur's gonna be Dark Bunny!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I even got a new DB Mighta-Max energy drink!

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm saving it for later in case I need a boost of energy!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48You know, this so-called energy drink just junk food.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49What?!

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Look at the ingredients. It's just water, sugar and food colouring.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55But Dark Bunny drinks it!

0:04:55 > 0:04:58He wouldn't say something's good for you if it's not!

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Arthur, he's a character on a TV show.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The people who created him just want to sell you things!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I know, but he lives by a self-imposed code of honour!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Sorry, Arthur. The facts don't lie.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I don't even want this anymore.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Selling junk food. What kind of self-imposed code of honour is that?

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Commence, gentlemen!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Ever since we introduced

0:05:28 > 0:05:32our new line of so-called healthy food-related products

0:05:32 > 0:05:35profits have skyrocketed!

0:05:35 > 0:05:36So has production.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38So has our stock price!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Excellent! More money for me!

0:05:44 > 0:05:47That's the Dark Bunny signal! Don't you need to go?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49In the middle of a board meeting?

0:05:49 > 0:05:54I'm sub-contracting all crime-fighting operations overseas,

0:05:54 > 0:05:56so I'll be free to make more money!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Excellent! More money for us!

0:05:59 > 0:06:00- That sounds good!- Brilliant, DB!

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I should have known, Pal.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05I should have known.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25PEEEEEP!

0:06:26 > 0:06:30No new DB Mighta-Max energy drink today, Arthur?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'm done with Dark Bunny!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33What about the convention?

0:06:33 > 0:06:36We were gonna go together, in costume.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37I'm still going,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40there's gotta be some other superhero to dress up as.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42What about the ones I invented?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45like Captain Pomodoro, or Catsaver?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Thanks, but I think I'd like to find one of my own.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I know just the place to look!

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Hey, there, Buster!

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Hey, Freddy K, can my friend Arthur and I look through the big book?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04You sure you can handle it?

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Oh, yeah!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07He's a really big comic book fan!

0:07:11 > 0:07:14"Rodwell's Giant Encyclopaedia

0:07:14 > 0:07:17"of Superheroes, Sidekicks, Rogues and Villains."

0:07:18 > 0:07:20How about the Putty Person?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Too stretchy!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Dr Night?

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Too creepy!

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Queen Sapphirella!

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I can't dress up as a girl!

0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's sort of narrowminded, don't you think?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Hey! How about Manacle?!

0:07:46 > 0:07:47I don't understand

0:07:47 > 0:07:50why it's so hard to find a simple thing like almond extract

0:07:50 > 0:07:51in this place!

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Manacle cereal!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Arthur, this stuff is loaded with sugar! It's like candy!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Hey, Doodle Dog!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08I used to love those old cartoons!

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Whatever happened to them?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Allow me, Ma'am!

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Remember, boys and girls,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20respect your elders,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23and never cross the street except in the crosswalk!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Doodle Dog would never try to sell kids stuff!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Woof, woof!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Arthur, is that a Doodle Dog water bottle?

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Yeah, what's wrong?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Come with me.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42These are kindergarteners, OK?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Excuse me, what do you think about Doodle Dog?

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Doodle Dog?- Yeurgh! - That's for little kids!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Urgh, there goes the last of my allowance!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57No...

0:08:57 > 0:08:58no...

0:08:59 > 0:09:00no...

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Buster, I'm never gonna find a superhero!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Hey, Freddy K, do you have a favourite hero?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Well, if I had to pick just one,

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Jack Kirby.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Who's that?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15He created great characters in the 1940s, '50s and '60s.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18But he's not a superhero, right?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I mean, Jack Kirby doesn't have special powers.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Being able to think up all these characters

0:09:23 > 0:09:26is kind of like a special power.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I can't dress up as Jack Kirby for the convention!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Thanks, Freddy K, but it's hopeless.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35So, who are you gonna dress up as?

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I don't think I'm gonna go.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Sorry, Buster, you'll just have to go without me.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54After I destroy Futuropolis,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57the entire city will be mine!

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Halt, right there!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Now clean up that mess you've made!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Ha! Make me!- I will!

0:10:06 > 0:10:10I just need a gulp of my new Mighta-Max energy drink!

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Urgh!

0:10:11 > 0:10:15This is just sugared water with some food colouring!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17You don't scare me!

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Maybe not, but I will!

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I'm Supernova!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25And I'm his sidekick, Starchild!

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- And this is his superdog, Syrus! - Woof, woof!

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Starchild, I told you, I don't need your help!

0:10:32 > 0:10:34You never let me help!

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I won't get in the way, I promise!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Hey! Leave her alone!

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Argh! I can't see!

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Argh!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51You'll never escape from my superpower blanky!

0:10:53 > 0:10:54Thank you, Supernova!

0:10:54 > 0:10:56You've saved Futuropolis!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Remember, always check the ingredients on beverages.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02They may not be as healthy as advertised!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Where...? Where did he go?

0:11:10 > 0:11:14I'll make my own hero! Like Jack Kirby!

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Who am I kidding? This is just plain...- Coooool!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Wow! What a great costume!

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Can I be your sidekick?

0:11:33 > 0:11:34You really think it's cool?

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Yeah! Of course, you're gonna need some facepaint.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40And that logo needs a little work.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44We've gotta get to that convention!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48DW, I wonder if this was a bad idea.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52What are you supposed to be? Toilet Tamer? Ha-ha!

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'm a hero called Supernova.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55I made him up!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58You made up your own hero?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Hey, Muffy, Francine!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Arthur made up his own hero! - No, I...

0:12:03 > 0:12:05- That's amazing!- Yeah!

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Great character!

0:12:07 > 0:12:11Guys, you gotta come see the vintage Dark Bunny comics I just got in!

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I kind of swore off Dark Bunny

0:12:13 > 0:12:16after his energy drink turned out to be full of sugar.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19But, I still like the comics,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22and I guess I don't have to buy everything with a Dark Bunny logo.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27And that's the origin of Supernova and his sidekick, Starchild!
