[Kara]
Why does the universe hate me?

Uh, what are we
looking at here?

I see a bunch of ones
and zeroes.

- My GPA.
- [all gasp]

My counselor says
if I wanna pass this semester,

I gotta sign up
for an extracurricular.

Hey, you could join
the AV Club.

[gasps] Or my
community gardening project.

- Or The Ancient Greece Historical Society.
- Lame.

Boring. Lame and boring.

[groans]

- Don't you do anything cool?
- [Garth] Looking for "cool," are you?

What if I told you I know
a club that's so face-meltingly,

nose-hair sizzlingly cool,

that it would blow your mind?

Nose-hair sizzling, you say?

I'm in!

Behold, the MAMX fan club!

MAMX? Maximum as*ault
Mech X.

The famous anime, slash manga,
slash card game, slash lifestyle?

No. We're done here.

Oh, okay. I guess I just thought
you'd at least wanna hear

about the MAMX Mech Battles.

Ugh! Fine.

Oh, yes! Mech battles
are the best part about MAMX.

Remote-control Mechs
face off in combat.

In fact, MAMX-Con, the world's
biggest mech competition is coming,

and it's always been
my dream to win.

Only you gotta have at least
two members on a team to enter.

That's why I thought you...

Nevermind. Probably couldn't even
get you to try a single battle.

[groans]

So, what? We just make these toys
beat the snot out of each other?

A Mech Battle
is more nuanced than that.

In the show, these contests are
engagements of integrity and honor.

But to win, my toy's gotta beat
the snot out of yours, right?

Yes.

MAMX, engage!

[grunts] Stay still, I...
Whoa!

How did you... Oh! [grunts] Okay, okay,
I think I'm getting the hang of it...

Garth, that was...

awesome!

Again!

[mechs whirring]

Oh, good move!
Oh, another one!

[grunts] Oh, man!

Okay, you kicked my butt again.

Go on, bask in the glory.

Come on, Kara, you know
MAMX is about honor not glory.

BTW, that Takeshi Tornado you pulled off?
[exclaims] Sick!

Well, I got
a pretty sick teacher.

[boy] Takeshi Tornado's
amateur at best.

Winslow Schott?
The Winslow Schott?

It is an honor!
I'm Garth, this is Kara.

Winslow Schott is a
nationally-ranked Mech Battler.

He's been in the finals of
MAMX-Con three years running.

This year, I intend to win.

I've just transferred
to Metropolis High.

I'd heard the MAMX club
had a chapter here, but...

[clears throat] Ouch.

And to think, I'd hoped to find
a teammate for this year's MAMX-Con.

[gasps] Hey, Winslow, I'm ranked


Garth!

What are you doing?
I'm your partner.

Sorry, Kara, but Winslow Schott
is a genius.

I mean, he's been customizing
mechs since he was three.

You know winning MAMX-Con
is my dream.

This is my best chance.

- [grunts]
- Oh, he's right on both counts.

I am a genius and his
best chance at winning.

Oh, yeah? Well, then, prove it!

[gasps]

Hmm.

MAMX, engage!

- Okay, Winslow, get ready t...
- [blow landing]

That is how you MAMX.

- Best out of three.
- Okay, but let's make it interesting:

You lose, not only
are you off the MAMX-Con team,

but you have to quit
the fan-club, too.

Kara, you don't
have to do this.

[laughs menacingly]

Hmm.

See, Garth, this is just sad.

You know what's not sad?

A little level-six
Tenkiri frontal as*ault!

[both gasp]

[grunts, growls]

[trilling]

[device beeps, powers up]

Huh?

[grunts in frustration]

[growls]

What the...

Ha. As expected.

Wait, what was that?
That kid cheated.

Seriously, some kind of ray
just came out of his robot guy.

- My guy just froze up.
- [scoffs] Ray?

Garth, did you see a ray?

[stammers]

[groans]

Accusing a fellow MAMX-er
of cheating?

That is low.

- Listen, kid.
- [exclaims]

Kara!

[grunts]

Maybe you should go.

Hmph.

[crowd cheering]

Oh, I've never seen
so many MAMX-ers.

Kara would've loved this.

That sore loser's
no MAMX-er.

None of these people are!
Not like us, anyway.

Then that weasel's robot
shoots a beam thingy.

The next thing I know, my
controller-gizmo and robot guy

start acting all wonky.

Winslow must've disrupted your mech's
servos with an electro-magnetic pulse.

And because of your radio-telescopic
vision, only you could see it.

I don't even care
about Winslow or MAMX,

it' only fun
because Garth is fun,

And now, the little goober
is living his dream,

and that jerk Winslow
gets to be there with him.

Kara, is there a reason
you cannot be there

to see the little goober
live his dream?

[audience cheering]

[Garth]
Wow, the finals!

Oh, can you believe it?

[sighs] This is my fourth time
here, Garth.

This time, I am taking
no chances.

When I give the signal,
you create a distraction.

[device trilling]

You're gonna cheat?

Ugh! Kara was right!

Winslow, MAMX is about honor.

Honor? What honor is in letting
some poser walk off with the title?

[announcer]
It's final battle time.

Huh.

Winning is your dream too,
isn't it?

Garth, focus!

Garth, woohoo!

Yeah!

Garth! It's time.

The glory shall be ours.

[device trilling, powering up]

[audience gasps]

- Huh?
- Sorry, Winslow.

[loudly] He's cheating!

[audience gasps, jeers]

A-ha!

Huh?

- [buzzer dings]
- [audience clamoring]

Garth, you fool! [growls]

Kara, I just wanna say
I am so sorry.

Look, I'm not big on mushy
make ups, so we good?

[Winslow] These noobs have seen but a
fraction of the genius of Winslow Schott.

[device trilling]

[people screaming]

[both gasp]

[laughs menacingly]

Why don't you let me
handle this?

[continues laughing]

- Heads up!
- [gasps]

This giant robot thing, it's a little
extreme, don't you think, kid?

Would people stop calling me a kid? I
am not a kid. I am a man. A toy man!

Ugh. You know what?

Let me just smash you.

[both grunting]

[gasps, grunts]

You see, Garth, even Supergirl can't stand
up against the genius of Winslow Schott!

You should have joined me
when you had the chance!

[grunts]

[device powering up]

Once I destroy this noob...

I'm coming for you and that loser
friend of yours, Kara. [laughs]

And then all of the world
will know the greatness,

the glory of the mighty
MAMX Master, Toy Man!

You know, for a genius,
you're not too bright.

- Huh?
- Garth already told you.

[grunts]

MAMX isn't about glory...

- [gasps]
- It's about honor!

[both grunting]

[Winslow screaming]

[Winslow screaming
from distance]

[crowd applauding, cheering]

And that's how you MAMX.

I won! I actually won!

Ha! That's two!

Hmm. Well, I don't think the
time you said my mom was outside

and knocked my mech over when I
wasn't looking should count as a win.

Hmm. Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm,
I see what you mean.

- Oh, Garth, your Dad's outside.
- What?

Now it's three.
