Synopsis
Supetopia was home to the greatest superheroes of all time until they began to vanish, one by one, ushering in the Age of Villains! Supetopia is now ruled by the evil super genius, Dexterity, and her right hand man, Sticky Fingers Magee. But fear not! Supetopia has not been completely abandoned. A new team of superheroes has assembled. They call themselves the Super Crew, and they are lead by the overzealous Captain Obvious. Despite their name, this new group of superheroes is far from super. What they lack in super skills they make up for in enthusiasm. But, when the children of Supetopia start to disappear, Captain Obvious must rally his crew to finally save the day.
