We've got another question for you today in the journal,
would you rather be a part of a super duo or a super team?
To kick us off, let's compare the powers.
Mermaid Man!
With the ability to assemble and charge the creatures of the deep.
Hey, that's pretty cool!
I wish I could do that!
Wait, they have more than one power?
That's awesome!
Okay, let's compare that to the powers that a super team has.
Wait, so their power is just being their mutant selves?
Oh, wait. They also have cool weapons!
Oh, and they have a tech genius!
The Quickster!
Captain Magma!
The Elastic Waistband!
And Miss Appear!
A whole Justice League of powers?
Now, that's what I'm talking about!
I mean, I know they're just learning how to use their powers now,
but they are a force to be reckoned with.
Get it? Danger Force?
Nobody? Okay.
I think the super team takes this one.
With so many powers, you could help out so many people!
In fact, if you want to help us out, be sure to click subscribe.
All right, next comparison.
How did they get their powers?
We want to know how this all started!
You want to go back to the start of it all, eh?
Ah, that's a classic!
Literally.
They are pretty old, so their origin story is a classic.
You see, my dad was an irresponsible scientist.
And my accident? It made me indestructible.
Mad scientists in a lab?
I mean, I'll take it.
Coochie, coochie, coo!
They didn't choose the powers, the powers chose them!
- Coochie, coochie, coo... - Wish I had super parents.
Let's see how our super teams got their powers.
I knew Lou Jitsu.
His human DNA, combined with my ooze,
gave you life!
Essentially, a freak accident made them turtles.
But their weapons carry a lot of powers, too.
You know what? We didn't ask for these powers!
You built the weapon that blew up and gave them to us
when Captain Man and Kid Danger fought Drex.
Yeah! You were all... "Ayee! There is a caveman on top of me!"
A machine did that to them?
Where can I get a machine like that?
Once you put on these costumes, their fantastic powers will become yours.
They get all their powers from the suits?
Seems a little too easy.
My clothes don't do anything!
I think the super duos win this round.
What's a hero without a villain?
First up, we have the Dirty Bubble.
Eugh, probably stinks!
The terrible Man Ray!
It's Jumbo Shrimp!
It's the Atomic Flounder!
The man-eating Sinister Slug!
I mean, I gotta give them credit for that name.
It's worse than I could've imagined!
Five, six, seven, eight!
Frankini?
Oh, that outfit is amazing!
Must be that glitter of evil in his eye.
Wink wink.
- The Toddler. - The Toddler?
Where's his baby sitter at?
Hello.
- Dark Mayhem! - Dark Mayhem.
Evil level seems to be off the charts.
Let's see what sort of a legion of evil our teams are up against.
Come on, everybody! We're free again!
Okay, that's also a lot of villains!
Also, all in one place?
And now... they are free?!
These three have named their new alliance...
Every Villain Is Lemons.
Otherwise known as EVIL.
How much evil do these teams fight?!
Sounds like this team has their work cut out for them.
That point goes to the super teams.
But heroes can't be perfect, they all have their own quirks.
Let's compare them, shall we?
Yikes!
Goes right through me every time!
He can tolerate a lot, but not much you can do
when the flying queens of nature come to get you.
This is the world's first Power Sapping Orb.
A Power Sapping Orb?!
I think it needs a sign that says, "Do not touch!"
I'm sure our super teams have some weaknesses themselves, too.
But, hey, at least they've got each other, right?
- Yeah-hah! - Hm! Huh?
The love that turtle has for that just bashing in his feels.
Dang, love has them all fooled.
What are you going to do about teenagers and their crushes?
Aw, I remember my first crush!
I-- Oh, never mind.
Get off, get off, get off!
Well, at least he has the rest of the League to count on.
Uh, oh...
Um, okay.
Or not.
Uh...
Sometimes you are your greatest weakness.
Get it off! Get it off!
I can't believe he just literally erased himself from existence.
Sheesh!
Well, I think the teams all disqualified themselves, so...
duos got the point on this one.
You can't always rely on superpowers,
you also have to know how to pack a punch!
Let's take a look at their fighting abilities.
Look at him go!
Oh!
Wow, they are just pros!
Are you listening to me?
I'm not.
Let's dance!
Double trouble.
I wouldn't want to get on their bad side!
Here, I brought you something.
Four brothers united by the power of martial arts,
and they have the added bonus of having mystic weapons?!
No doubt they're going to win any fight!
Forget our powers! Let's just get 'em!
Okay, um... That's a way to do it, I guess.
Use the spicy milk!
Oh, yeah! Teamwork makes the dream work, baby!
Well, I guess fighting crime is a team sport!
So, it looks like the super teams get this one.
If I had powers, I would probably use them all the time.
Next, we're going to compare day-to-day use of powers.
With a duo this dynamic, how could evil stand a chance?
Tap my phone for me, will ya?
Oh, I see! I see!
You can tap on more, right?
I didn't even think about how easy homework would be with that power.
My times tables would be done in a split second.
Dude, I'm literally tapping faster than any other human could tap right now.
Two chocolate milks.
Oh, I thought you were gonna make us milkshakes.
I'm not done yet.
Ah, clever!
I love having friends with superpowers!
- Next... - Say no more, mis hermanos!
I'll use my ultra reliable portaling sword to get us there.
Okay, that literally is so cool!
What?! That's about all I can say there!
Captain Man! We got 'em!
- Who'd you get? - Not "who", but "what"?
And that what is...
some wings!
Yep! I would've done that too.
Super teammates for sure!
The members of a super team are super important.
Let's compare the key players.
Up and away!
Okay, uh... That's a way to do it, I guess?
Oh! That's going to hurt in the morning!
Oh! Not right there!
Nice job, Jasper.
Hah! With all the trouble these two get in,
they are sure lucky to have people like Charlotte and Jasper around!
Thundermans, suit up!
I guess family is the only backup you need in this house.
Is it safe to assume if you roll with the squad, you already have your backup?
Aw, who's a little... fox creature?
Whatever that thing is, I want it on my side.
This guy is their backup?
Boy, their referral system for mad scientists must be crazy strong!
Who wants to save the world?
These superheroes are very, um... unique?
Okay, I really want to give it to the teams
because of that creature I want to cuddle.
He's so cute.
Now, that's what I call super!
Most heroes have to keep their real identities under wraps.
Who exactly knows their secret?
The Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: Origin Episode!
Oh, this is it!
You know what they say about secrets...
If you broadcast it, no one knows it's a secret.
Secrets are no fun unless you share them with everyone!
I'm Kid Danger.
I know. I figured that out.
I can see why they trust her so much!
All right, Chloe, you're about to learn the hardest part of being a superhero.
Keeping it a secret from your best friend.
What kind of best friends don't tell each other everything?
Get in, Cherry.
It's time I tell you everything.
Friends till the end, I see.
I can keep a secret, but I don't know if I could for a whole team.
Oh, she keeps secrets and fights crime?
That's what I'm talking about!
... school to teach us how to be superheroes. But if all we do is--
Lying is a very important part of being a superhero.
You have learn to protect your secret identity.
Ah! That's great training, Schwoz.
Oh! Here we go!
No world means no money!
Now, go save the world... or you're fired!
He's got a good point there.
Less people means it's easier to keep a secret.
I think the duos get this one.
Learning how to control your powers is huge.
Let's take a look at how these heroes trained and who helped them.
Ever alert, Mermaid Man has trained himself
to sleep with his eyes open.
Evil never sleeps!
He's got his training in the bag.
Okay, so, Ray can be a little silly, but I think he is still a great mentor.
Yah!
Okay, maybe I was being a little bit too nice.
- You alright? - No.
He's alright.
Whoa! Feels so weird to be back at SASS!
Wait, I'm confused...
So, they go to school to get sass training?
The Secret Academy of Superpower Studies.
You know, SASS?
Oh, wait! No, the school is just called SASS.
That's pretty cool.
I know where I'm applying!
We'll have to see if more teammates means less time in the gym for you.
Let us begin!
I can see why they call him master.
Time to level up!
- Yeah! All of us say "yeah"! - Yes!
Check out his moves!
Ooh-hoo! This guy has style!
- Huh? - Forget I said that.
It's the thought that counts.
Let's show this guy what we can do!
Oh, here it comes.
First, he was a mentor for Henry.
Now, he's a mentor for the Danger Force.
He must be a pro at this point.
Bose, do you have to use the potty?
Because it looks like you need to make a boom-boom.
Or not.
They get to get trained by a legacy superhero!
Well, at least while he's awake, he is.
Away!
This one has to go to the super duos!
Whew!
After all that training, I guess it's only fair to compare
how well these heroes control their powers for our final round.
Bring it!
Oh, ho!
- These fellas still got it! - Take this!
I would've been so tired by that point!
Props to their stamina.
I'll never let you win!
Wow, they are in full control.
Look at them go!
This is amazing!
Oh!
Ooh!
Oh! If just two people can do all that damage,
I wonder what the super teams can do!
Entropy!
Yeah! Whoo!
They are so good.
But, uh...
I can fix this! I can fix this.
But sometimes things go a little haywire.
Okay, you know what? Turns out I cannot fix this.
Super Acquaintances, attack!
Aah!
Whoa! They are out of control!
And not in a good way.
They are still in training,
but I think it's safe to say there's zero control here.
Clearly, the duos wrecked their competition in this round.
But, wait a minute. It looks like we finished in a tie!
But really, it's up for you to decide.
