Granpapi: good,

Now double time.

And wallet grab, wallet grab.

Apprentice, the cactus boy.

The cactus kid.

Who told you to stop

Monkey slapping?

New apprentice?

Yes, apprentice.

You know, somebody I can share

My experience, train in the

Ways of supervillaining,

Sometimes steal an ice cream

Cone together.

But, that's the stuff you

And me do.

Yes, but you too busy

For evil.

If you no wanna be

Supervillain, I get this new

One for take your place.

Go on, show them your mighty

Power.

Ha-ha, eh...

What is you mighty power?

Just a little something

Just a little something called... Cactus control.

Called... Cactus control.

You make cactuses droop?

And I also make them dance.

Wow, that's really...

Observable.

Um... Are you trying to make

Me jealous here?

'Cause it's really not...

Lately.

I gotta go apologize.

Apologize?

This calls for action.

You have an idea?

Maybe...

Ok, no.

How not to get hit by bricks.

[Gasps]

Oh, hey granpapi.

I figured since the cactus kid

Is gonna be the "famousest"

Supervillain ever, he deserves

Some fun time with the

Legendary el tigre.

We're gonna cheat at darts

And enter an illegal street race

And rob the old folks' home.

Say, isn't that all

Stuff you like to do with manny?

Doesn't that make you...

I don't know... Jealous?

Jealous?

Why I be jealous?

So he turn a table on me.

Is all fair in love and...

[Growls]

Is like you rip my heart out

And feed it to the donkeys!

If you can't take the

Heat, don't add the chiles.

How you dare?

Is "disrespecty".

Well, I learned if from you.

[Sounds of fighting]

Huh, in my head there was

More hugging.

What are you so mad about?

You're the one who started

All this.

I start it?

You the one don't want to do

Evil no more.

So you replaced me with some

Geeky wannabe supervillain kid?

Bah, I just using him.

Hard way that nobody messes

I sorry I get mad, manny.

Even if you going to be hero

Instead of evil,

You still my grandson.

I'm sorry, too.

But don't worry, I'm pretty

Sure a real hero would never

End a fight with a low-down,

Dirty move like this.

I... Manny.

I was just finding a book for

This mystical glove of power

That I've never seen before.

What glove? There's no glove.

You must be imagining there's

A glove that I've never seen.

[Laughing]

No, I swore I would never put

You on again.

Mom, what's going on?

There's something you

Don't know about me.

Something shocking.

Ah, nothing shocks me.

I was once... A superhero.

[Babbling]: guh-bluh

Huzzle floygin?

[Glass shatters]

I was in college.

Man: look out.

Maria: I went to this party,

And someone had brought some

Mystical objects of power,

And i... Tried one on.

Things were crazy back then.

Things were crazy back then. It was a different time.

It was a different time.

[Electrical buzzing]

[expl*si*n]

Plata peligrosa.

At first it was fun-

At first it was fun- saving people, thwarting evil.

Saving people, thwarting evil.

But then...

Then...

Then... [Panting]

[Panting]

[Hyperventilating]

[Hyperventilating] here we go.

Here we go.

Mom, this is great.

We can do stuff together, use

Our powers for good... Or evil.

Whatever, I'm easy.

[Pops]

No, manny... Never.

I gave up my powers because

I couldn't handle the danger.

Now lock that glove back up and

Now lock that glove back up and let us never speak of it again.

Let us never speak of it again.

This is awesome.

If we can get my mom to put

That glove on...

You'll have a parent

Who's a superhero.

Who's a superhero. How cool would that be?

How cool would that be?

Not only will we get to

See mom kick bad guy booty,

But maybe she won't freak out

So much when I use my powers.

[Giggles]: you said,

"Booty-butt."

This is the chance of

A lifetime.

Plata peligrosa will fight

Plata peligrosa will fight again.

Again.

Hey, mom.

We just wanted to see if you

Wanted to...

Uh, go play catch?

Need a glove?

Or you can just cheer us on.

We're number one... Heh-heh.

Everybody loves an oven mitt.

Me llamo senorhand puppet.

Boxing glove.

Say adios to dishpan hands.

Manny, I told you to lock

That glove up.

Yeah, but [gasps]... A novel

In the reference section.

Plata peligrosa!

Whoa.

Old feelings returning.

Power coursing through veins.

Costume chafing slightly.

But you're ok?

Yes.

And you are a very bad boy.

Your punishment is...

To come fight some bad guys

With me.

Cool.

Evildoers, beware

The mighty fist of...

Plata peligrosa.

And the claws of...

[Roars]

[Roars] el tigre.

From all that being crazy.

No!

We need more bad guys,

More action, more danger.

Plata peligrosa!

Mom, wait.

She seems a little...

Bonkers? Cuckoo?

Crackers? Loco?

It's not that bad.

I mean, it's not like she's

I mean, it's not like she's totallyout of control.

Totallyout of control.

[Cackles] come on out.

I'll fight you all at once.

I'll fight you all at once. You were saying?

You were saying?

Uh, hey, mom, what ya doing?

Picking a fight with

These villainous weaklings.

You'll pay for that, mang.

I'll crush you.

Oh, my feelings.

[Sobbing]

This is nuts.

I thought you quit superheroing

Because you couldn't handle the

Danger.

I couldn't handle how much

Ilovedthe danger.

I was afraid it would become an

Obsession, but now I know that

I am perfectly in control.

[Deranged cackle]

For a hero, she gots

A good evil laugh, mang.

Mom, this has to stop

You've been spending too much

Time with that evil granpapi

Of yours.

Your father would never back

Down from a fight with villains.

He also wouldn't have

Busted them out of jail.

You... You're right,mijo.

I've got it all wrong.

It's ok, you were...

Why bother withthese

Villains?

I should be fighting the fiend

Who masterminded their escape.

Um, wouldn't that be... You?

Exactly.

Plata peligrosa.

Beware the mighty fist of...

Plata peligrosa!

[Struggling/grunting]

[Growling]

Villains: get up.

Let you have it.

[Laughing]

[Shouts]

[Sounds of fighting]

Stick and move, mang,

Stick and move.

Stop hitting my mom... Mom.

Only a villain would help

A villain like me.

I will make you pay.

She's doing what now?

No, mom, you don't mean it.

That's the glove talking.

Mang.

Mom, are you ok?

Glove on you.

Oh,mijo.

And I never should have tried

To crush you into a m*nled,

Jelly-like wad of gore.

Jelly-like wad of gore. [Gags]

[Gags]

We need to get you

Out of here, mom.

It's too dangerous.

Yes, of course.

Oh, my, what a day we had...

With the fighting...

And the hurting and the...

[Hyperventilating]

Frida: ok, let's go find you

A nice quiet paper bag to

Breathe into.

[Growling]

[All growling]

Uh... [Giggles].

Obviously, this has all been

A huge mistake, so if you guys

Would just go back to jail, i...
