Synopsis for "Hero is a Four Letter Word"

Henry Hayes (an aspiring superhero who gets continually overshadowed by professional heroes) moves to Bailey to settle as the hero of the town. But he is not the only newcomer to Bailey, because Ted Brown visits Scott and tries to convince him to return to showbiz as an escape artist, which he declines over and over. During a discussion between Oberon and Scott, a gardener woman enters the fix-it shop and ask for his services, but the discussion gets heated up and Oberon accidentally sprays her with a steamroller. But the steamroller was fixed using Mother Box energy, and the effects are far from normal, because the steam completely cleans the stained clothes of the woman. Trying to make the most of it, Oberon decides to patent and sell that peculiar product.

Later on that day, a truck bumps into a pothole and, as the driver tries to take control of the derailed vehicle, the backdoor opens and drops a mysterious package in front of Scott's shop. Oberon finds the box, and since the return address is unreadable, he enters it to the shop. At that moment, Scott walks to the bank, and he finds a fire that broke out at the building. Among the surrounding crowd is also Henry Hayes, who sees the opportunity to change into his Maxi-Man costume and save the day. But Mister Miracle beats him to it, saving all the people trapped in the fire. Unhappy by being robbed of the glory by another superhero (again), Maxi-Man declares war to Mister Miracle.
