After his televised heroics, Arthur found his old accounting job didn't want a superhero as an employee. For the time being, he would need to rely on savings. While depositing his severance check, bank robbers struck! One of the bank robbers proved to be Lobstercules. While Tick engaged the giant crustacean in battle, Arthur managed to pull a shoe from one of the goons. Sadly, all of them escaped. Could they locate Lobstercules lair in the sewers by a forensic examination of the shoe? Thanks to the fall of the Terror and his gang, AEGIS, a SHIELD-like agency, has reopened its office in the city. In fact, AEGIS has proposed establishing a new Flag Five. Tick and Arthur eagerly apply. However, Overkill is a fugitive from AEGIS. He had been a former agent until a mission went badly and he received the blame. Can he find the real party responsible for the catastrophe and clear his name? Dot, Arthur's sister, has been having visions. In fact, she has precognition! She can predict the near-future, which allows her to dodge bullets! The bizarre incident at the Terror's capture when Arthur's garrulous stepfather managed to defeat half a dozen goons while blindfolded is explained. Not all of the Terror's organization has been defeated. The lightning-tossing villain, Miss Lint, has decided to switch sides. Now Joan of Arc, she has taken to blasting all the criminals who are moving in on her turf.
It is an entertaining show but lacks focus. There are too many stories to tell and no binding villain like the Terror to hold it together. There are big hints at what a third season would hold but the series was not renewed.
Good popcorn fun!
