It's such a low key parody that the undercurrent of deadpan nuttiness and sheer invention just sneaks up on you.

Surprisingly amusing super-hero satire. Combine this flick with "Mystery Men" and you'd have a classic.

A idéia é genial, mas o roteiro jamais aproveita a premissa. Além disso, a direção é simplesmente péssima e o baixo orçamento não permite que vejamos os superpoderes dos heróis.

Better than most superhero flicks to come down the pike. I assure you, this will achieve underground cult status one day.
