Two quirky friends, Wayne and Eli, battle the tedium and stress of their day jobs by watching Saturday morning superhero cartoons and fantasizing about the good they could do should they be blessed with super powers. After gaining a mild mannered roommate from the American heartland, Eli and Wayne continue their power hunting antics. Wayne takes the technological approach and follows his dreams down a dark alley to seedy retailer Tony, while Eli pursues empowerment through religion. As they experience varying degrees of success with their search Eli and Wayne get on the bad side of the newest super-resident of Megapolis, Ultra American, before redeeming themselves in the ultimate showdown with Ultra's nemesis General Disarray.
