01x03 - This Silver, This Surfer!

[bunniefuu]

[laughs]
The exact piece I need!

Right in my hands...

Accursed superheroes!

Serves you right
for bein' grabby!

[Hulk yells]

MODOK! Assist me!

I'll cut off MODOK's escape route!

[both yell]

[grunts]

MODOK! Hold off the Helicarrier!

I'll get that fractal!

The entire Helicarrier?
By myself?

[Hulk yells]

[growling]

[growls]

[train whistling]

[grunts]

[both grunts]

You are MODOK, a mental organism
designed only for kicking butt.

Well, my winged friend,
yon villain MODOK

be passing brave
or very, very foolish.

Or just very big-headed.

You see, 'cause he's
got a really big head.

Ah.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Can you boys keep Doom
from dinging my Helicarrier?

Ah, there you are.

[laughing]

[grunts]

You meddling
metal misanthrope!

Ah, ah, ah.
[grunts]

Looks like Doom's
thrown down the gauntlet

by increasing the power
of his gauntlet!

Do not fear, my teammate.

I have a plan to use
his own power against him.

Surfer! Be careful! You could...

[grunting]

[grunts]

Did I do that? I must have!

And I have been working out.

Tremble at the power!
That is MODOK!

Better get out of the way!
[screams]

Oh, perhaps that was a
cosmic miscalculation on my part.

You think, shiny?

Iron Man! We're detecting loss of power
from Shield HQ! Do you copy?

I think your cosmic energy
actually amplified Doom's power.

[laughing]
Yes!

So, did you guys see how I
disabled the entire Helicarrier?

[giggling]

[Doctor Doom]
What a fortunate turn of events!

[laughing]
I have what I need.

[laughing]

Fortunate?

Did you not see my power
and skill?

We've got to save
the Helicarrier!

But the wayward fractal!

One emergency at a time.

Miss Marvel, take remote control!

Try re-routing power
through the rigid coupling interface.

I know how to fly
my own boat, Iron Man.

I'm also trying to bring
the auxiliary reactor online.

Hulk! We need your strength factor!

[yells]

[grunts]

[Hulk grunts]

No way.

Lifteth with thine legs!

Come on! Come on!

Just a few more seconds!

[grunting]

Hey... kinda gettin'
all the weight here.

[groaning]

Come on!

[grunts]

Sixty percent power restored.

Nice work. But Doom
did escape with the fractal.

Let's get back
aboard the Helicarrier

and have a little
"what went wrong" meeting.

I hate those Squaddies.

Silver Surfer, you almost crashed
Miss Marvel's favorite toy.

And heck hath no fury like a woman
whose Helicarrier has been scorned.

I'm only trying to do my best.

Yeah, well, some of your best
worries me lately.

Lately?

[laughs]

Sorry.

I am merely making an effort
to fit in with earth culture.

Well, that explains why you had
"upside down day" in the Shield cafeteria.

[grunts]

I thought perhaps zero gravity
would give you a more...

cosmic dining experience.

I had to steam-clean my armor!

Three times!

Uh! Those gravy stains!

Mmm. Makes Hulk hungry!

[gulping]

Oh! It's coming back up!

No, it's going back down.
[belches]

Alas! Just a fortnight ago,
yon space borne sentinel

denied me his surfboard as a mirror.

Why are you all looking at me?

It's because I'm fat, isn't it?

You don't look fat, Goldilocks.

The surfboard adds ten pounds.

Surfer, we appreciate your enthusiasm.
However...

Say no more, Iron Man,

I must wander the earth
for a time... alone.

[sniffling]

Hulk love that story.

Look, uh...
Hey, that's not what I meant.

At least take my GPS.

Still unstable.

How will I meld this fractal dagger
without more cosmic energy?

- Perhaps my powerful brain...
- Silence!

Your powerful brain
more often gives me a headache.

Where? Where can I find
a source of more cosmic energy?

Wait! Wait!
What's this?

The Silver Surfer's power
should do the trick!

- Elderly human, I will assist you.
- [woman screams]

I wanted to cross
in the other direction

you-you silver stumblebum!

- [woman screams]
- No need to thank me, good citizen.

[splash]

Let me help you
in your endeavors.

That plant creature
will harass you no longer.

[crying]

[drilling]

I shall assist!

[foreman] But we were
just supposed to put on a new roof!

You're welcome!

Ahh. A whole grape jelly, onion,
and tuna fish pizza, all for me.

Hey, sparkly,
Doc Doom needs you.

Perhaps, but I do not need him.

[groaning]

Tremble at the power of MODOK!

He who brought down the Helicarrier
with one shot!

I'm afraid that was me.

[screams]

[grunting]

Tremble! Tremble in fear...
[groaning]

Of MODOK!

Hey, ya chrome dome,
what gives?

[Silver Surfer grunts]

I give!

I also take away!
[laughs]

[grunts]

MODOK!
Deploy the cosmic containment field.

My brilliantly designed
containment field has him um...

contained within its field.

Hey! I ain't in love
with chrome dome

but you gotta let him go!

Criminy!

They took the beach bum.

I gotta go tell Iron Man.

[yelps]

[crash]

This place...

It is dank, dark

and draining my energy.

It is the pit of my despair.

It's a dungeon!

We weren't going for curb appeal!

What did you expect?
Ice cream and cookies?

What need do you have
for my cosmic powers?

Silence!
[giggles]

I love saying that,
when Doom's not around.

He's gone, right?

You have no need to know
of my villainous plan for you!

Uhh... I thought it was
the Doc's plan.

Oh... his plan.

My plan. I did all the legwork.

Legwork? But you only got
teeny-tiny legs.

[Doctor Doom] MODOK!
Keep draining his cosmic energy!

When we have taken
ninety percent of his power

the fractal dagger
will be complete!

And... what will the dagger do?

A miniature version
of the Infinity Sword's power

to reshape the universe.

With this, I will be able to
deconstruct

entire cities
at the molecular level!

Just drain his cosmic power
at a constant rate.

Understand?

"Understand?"

Yes, I understand everything! Ooh!

I'd kick your butt
if my legs weren't so tiny!

Uh, can we suck out
his powers faster?

Uh, I could give you some tips, my
friends.

Twenty percent is customary.

Say, why would you help us?

The faster my powers are drained,
the faster this ordeal is over.

[sighing] Would you not at least wish
to have my torment complete?

[Thing] You know, I don't have a
great history with that shiny space case

but, uh... this ain't right.

Look, the only reason
Doom would take him

is to somehow drain
his cosmic powers.

He could use that energy
to bind together several fractals.

Uh, yeah.
What is all this fractal stuff, anyway?

Sheesh! Where have you been?

The fractals are the remnants
of the most powerful item

in the universe...
The Infinity Sword.

I'll never forget the day
that Doom opened the rift-window

to retrieve the Infinity Sword.

- [Doctor Doom laughing]
- [grunts]

[Iron Man] I couldn't let that much power
fall into Doom's hands.

I did what I could,
but it wasn't enough.

Since then, we've battled Doom
at every turn for those fractal pieces.

[Thor] And now, the foul evildoer
has taken our friend.

And my wallet!

Yeah, after we drove him out

because we thought he was weird.

He is weird.

Said the man who smells
like a rodent

- and has built-in machetes.
- [Wolverine growling]

Hey! The thing of it is...

We can't let him rot
in Doom's dungeon!

Yeah. The Thing's thing
is the main thing.

I made a new cloaking device.

The Stark Stealthizer 7.

Don't ask about the first six.

If I can hook it up to the Helicarrier

we should be able to get close
enough to Doom's HQ

that we can bust out the Silver Surfer.

A prison break from Villainville.

Now we're talkin'!

[beeping]

Yes. I can feel the energy
draining from me.

Work your legs faster.

Explain to me again.

How does this help
to drain your powers?

Why, your motions create a...
a cosmic antenna

which enhances the power-draining effect.

Uhh... that don't make any sense.

Not to you, it doesn't. Oaf!

But isn't there
something else we can do?

Something less... aerobic?

Well, let's see.

Proper nutrition helps.

Yes! The world's biggest
chocolate brownie!

Now, eat up and drain your energy!

Cosmic!

But you misunderstood.

You must eat the brownie.

- What?
- [laughs]

I've been waitin' for this!

- [laughing]
- Ohh! Mmm! [Burps]

Isn't there something we can do
that involves our brains?

[beeping]

Okay. Next question.

What gets wetter the more it dries?

Yes, yes! I know this!

There is a silicon-based creature
on a moon of Anthos 12 that has...

- A towel?
- Ahhh!

Indeed! A towel gets wetter
the more it dries!

- You win again!
- Oooh!

A tow...
Ask a real question this time!

Very well.

Where is the ocean deepest?

Wait. I'm running the numbers.
The Marianas Trench.

It reaches depths of 6.8 miles and...

- [buzzer sounds]
- Oh!

The ocean's deepest... at the bottom!

- Correct!
- [bell dings]

What? The bottom?
You can't be serious!

[Doctor Doom] MODOK!
What is going on down there?

No matter.

The fractal dagger is almost complete.

- Good work.
- [alarm beeping]

They dare to attack me?

They will pay once my fully-powered

infinity dagger blasts them
out of the sky

and Super Hero City...

off the face of the earth!

[Doctor Doom laughing evilly]

I've got a bead on the Silver Surfer.
He's in that dungeon!

Time to Hero Up,
Squaddies!

- [Hulk chuckles]

Belly flop!

[theme music playing]

[grunting loudly]

Yo! Need a hand?

How about two hands?

I need only a few more minutes
for the fractal dagger to be complete.

What about the Silver Surfer?

[Doctor Doom]
He's of no more use to us.

[Doctor Doom laughing]

- [MODOK laughing]
- Hold off those heroes!

Concentrate on freeing the Surfer!

[grunts]

[grunts] Red wing! Do something about
that stone in his forehead!

Hey! That's unsanitary,
you flying vermin!

[grunting]

[MODOK screaming]

[alarm ringing]

[grunts]

[growls]

[grunts]

Nice try! Ha!

[grunts]

Moves pretty well for a big guy.

[laughing]
Yes! Yes!

My fractal dagger is complete!

[Hulk yells]

Come on, sparkles. Let's get you back
to where the sun shines, huh?

To... me, my board.

Hey, Tin Man, we found him!

He's in bad shape, but he'll live.

Excellent work, heroes.
Now we can turn our attention to...

- [Iron Man grunts]
- [Doctor Doom laughing]

My fully charged fractal dagger

will make you pay
for your insolence.

[groans]

Iron Man! Doom almost cut you
in half with that thing!

Hoo! Pick, pick, pick.

Let's cloak before
Doom nails us again.

[laughing]
Yes!

[Silver Surfer] Cosmic waves,
washing over me making me stronger!

Returning my Power Cosmic!

[grunts]

'Tis a reprehensible weapon!

Yon dagger hath the power
to de-molecularize most anything!

Yeah! Wait.
That means us, right?

Aren't we made of molecules?

I am the only one
with the cosmic energy to stop Doom.

[Doctor Doom laughing]

Soon, every fractal will be in plain sight

once I obliterate the city around them!

Farewell... Superhero Squad!

[Doctor Doom screaming]

The power of this object
was not intended for any earthly being!

That is not for you to say!

In fact, it is.

[screams]

[cheering]

- All right!
- Yeah!

[Doctor Doom screams]

What!

I shattered the infinity dagger
into fractals again.

Doom has not one fractal left.

You know we can find them
before Doom can.

How about for now, we go home.

Yes. With you, my friends,
I have found a home.

The Silver Surfer taught me stuff

like, what goes up,
but never comes down?

Wait. I know this. The Centaurans have
anti-gravity m*ssile that...

Uh-uh. Your age.

Silence!

As an offering of thanks,
I've brought you

your favorite pulpated tomato
and cheese-covered disks.

Whoa! That's real big of you,
silver britches!

He has an appetite, like, unto Galactus!

Yeah, it's an issue sometimes.

Hey, let's go out, and I'll buy you
a slice! What do ya say?

- [Silver Surfer] Cosmic.
- [Thing] What kinda cheese do ya like?

- [Silver Surfer] Mozzarella's good, right?
- [Thing] Sweet.
