- [Joel] And so you guys, y'know,
busted a few jaywalkers,
maybe a few muggings here and there,
and you started to hear about
that there was a string of missing teens in the city
but for some reason
it's not getting a lot of traction.
There's definitely some social media buzz about it,
a bunch of change.org campaigns
that aren't going to do anything are floating around.
- [Shelby] My character's name is Alex Finch,
or Ace.
And I am enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm is my superpower
and that's pretty much it.
- [Joel] And Alex looks over,
she's like "okay, I got this, I got this"
and she steps out of the car
and as soon as you do that
you hear "hey!
"Fuckin' nerd!
"What'd I tell you about coming to the Sonic?"
(laughing) - I jump back in the car immediately.
- [Shannon] My character is named Kim Bennet,
I used to be a villain
and I'm not anymore.
I saw the error of my ways
really recently! (laughs)
And my ability is ferrokinesis,
the ability to control metal telepathically.
- [Joel] You don't remember
not being a crime orphan.
- [Paul] Gerald is nicknamed "Sad Sack".
A paper bag with a frowny face over his head,
he carries around a sack full of doorknobs
or some other blunt instrument,
as his main powers are emotional control--
Darkness starts to waft over the room, (laughing)
and everyone starts to feel
a little less happy about what's going on.
And power neutralization.
(distortion)
And shuts you
almost entirely down. - You're shutting me down?
- [Shelby] Yeah, Brantley kind of sucks,
but he's pretty good at computers.
(laughing) - I'm sorry, hold on.
Did you say
"Brantley"?
- [Shelby] Yeah, that's Brantley Finch.
You have to help us with this.
- "Okay." - Otherwise I'm totally telling mom
that you've been pounding corndogs
for the past six hours
and saying that people on the internet are cucks.
- [Joel] You do know of D.A.Y.C.A.R.E.
It is a organization that is, y'know,
there to deal with at-risk
and dangerous youth.
"That's the thing about ol' Luke Williams,
"I'm a real big, uh,
"a big car head." (laughs)
"I don't have time--
"do you know where Luke Williams is?"
And he pulls out, T-1000 style,
pulls out a picture,
is like "have you seen this boy?"
- [Paul] Why doesn't that kid's shirt
have any sleeves on it?
(laughing) - "I dunno,
"looks like his shoulders run hot."
And he goes "alright,
"normally I wouldn't believe you but honestly,
"my best friend growing up was a drug dealer.
"You got a real honest face,
"and just the sound of dimebags
"and pills jingling in your pocket
"just makes me feel real safe.
(laughing) "Anyways, I'm real scared of spiders,
"if I ever see one I'll, uh,
"I don't why I'm telling you this." - What's this guy's name?
- [Joel] This is Officer Jenkins.
I mean, nobody really knows
how powers work
or where they come from.
There wasn't like a Powers Ed class--
- [Shannon] Like no birds and the bees talk
but about powers?
- [Joel] Yeah, like "as you get older
you may notice that you can fly now"
didn't ever come up.
- [Paul] I think if there was one
it's just gonna be like
the Sex Ed talk from the movie Mean Girls,
where it's like
