The Hyperions is a 2022 American superhero action-comedy film written and directed by Jon McDonald and starring Cary Elwes, Penelope Mitchell, Elaine Tan, and Alphonso McAuley.

In 1960, Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum invents a device known as Titan Badge, which offers humans superpowers by altering the wearer’s DNA.

He gave three Badges to three down-on-their-luck children, creating America's most famous family of superheroes, which included telepath Vista, super-strong Ansel, and teleporter Maya.

So Vista and Ansel instead take the museum staff and visitors hostage, forcing a confrontation with their former father figure, the police, and, ultimately, against a supervillain, Ares, who threatens to destroy them all.

[4][5] Richard Propes of The Independent Critic gave the film 3.5 stars and called it a "retro-styled superhero flick with a campily beating heart" and "an imperfect yet sublimely inspired" film "that weaves together past and present, family and fantasy all into a motion picture that made me smile from beginning to end.
