(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Erica Salcedo. Eleven-year-old "normal kid" Murph is accidentally enrolled at a secret superhero-training school, where he befriends misfits with seemingly ineffective powers. When a mutant supervillain attacks the school, Murph and company must rescue the brainwashed students and staff. Occasional intrusive narration and tired humor drag down the plot, but fans of parody should enjoy this offbeat superhero adventure, complete with grayscale spot art.
