0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ho-ho-ho-ho! I can't wait to hear what your sidekick identity is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40It's classified, under lock and key, never been revealed, so...
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I can't tell you what it is. But I can show you...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Behold! The super-secret Troublemeyer vault.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Before I show you, you'll need to take a sacred oath, swearing to...

0:05:06 > 0:05:07with my personality profile.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12That should give it some cool material to work with.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Evil-doers, beware.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The Guitar sidekick is about to level up on your butts.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06OK, I don't even like this one.
0:06:06 > 0:06:13My personality's lame. I'm so boring. I'm totally going to fail.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Stop me any time. - OK, so you're boring.
0:06:17 > 0:06:24Really, really...really boring. So make something up!
0:06:24 > 0:06:31Get some att-i-tude! Think of something cool, or scary, or both!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh, I even thought of his name.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39He's dark. He's broody. He's the bad boy with a heart of gold!
0:06:39 > 0:06:44He-e-e's Kid Ruthless! Ye-yeah!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17- If you don't have any plans for lunch today, maybe we could...- Eric?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22It's Kid Ruthless now and he already has lunch plans, with me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Did I call it, or what? - You totally called it!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I never thought of myself as a bad boy, but I'm liking it!

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Oh, hey! It's Kid Ruthless. I wonder what he wants.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38There's another Kid Ruthless?!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42D-u-u-de, you should not have stolen his sidekick name.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- BAD LONDON ACCENT:- Oi! Which one of you dares call hisself Kid Ruthless?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Um, Mr Ruthless, sir... Or can I call you Kid?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Mr Ruthless, it is.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Er, listen, there's totally been a misunderstanding here.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12SMASH
0:09:12 > 0:09:16So far, Maxum Eric Boy Lad does just as poorly as normal Eric does.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Well, let's see how those buckets of bolts do against this...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- ALL:- Hooray!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17ALL CHEER
0:10:17 > 0:10:21An F? I got an F? Just because I called myself Maxum Eric?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's the secret identity rule.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Everybody knows, you never use your real name. Duh!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, I had the best sidekick identity EVER!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But all I got was a C-. We'll get them next time, boys.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36We'll get them next time.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I guess I'll figure out my sidekick identity some day.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Until then, I'm happy just being plain old Eric.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- OK, who's the one they call Plain Old Eric?- Gulp.
