Twelve-year-old Kyle continues his crusade against superhero (and extraterrestrial) Mighty Mike by teaming up with newcomer the Mad Mask, who is planning to build an unstoppable robot. However, Kyle soon discovers that the Mad Mask plans to wipe him out as well. Kyle's petty jealousies belie his "genius," and the narrative cleverly underscores an unlikable antihero in the process.
