Meanwhile, an activist group called the "Earth Protectors" distribute CD-ROMs about the environment to Scott's classmates, with their programmer, Nina, seeking to use them to educate while her partner Malcolm plans to use them to brainwash people into committing crimes for him.

When his birthday comes and he fails to develop powers, Scott pretends he inherited those of his parents' with help from his grandfather Edward Marshall / Steel Condor.

When Malcolm uses Nina as bait to lure in Scott's family, his parents and birthday party guests convince him to save her as his first outing as a superhero.

While it ends up with his friend Amy, whose mother watches it, subconsciously robs a bank, and goes to Earth Protectors' HQ, Malcolm uses her to capture Scott's family with the intention of brainwashing them.

Upon learning of this, Scott, Amy, and his best friend Randy head off to rescue them with help from Nina, who has realized Malcolm's true intentions.
