The Abridged Script
INT. A SUBURBAN HOUSE- ORIGINS O’ CLOCK
INVINCIYEUN is just your AVERAGE TEENAGER and his dad OMNISIMMONS is the WORLD’S GREATEST SUPER HERO. They live your AVERAGE SUBURBAN LIFE with MOMDRA OH.
INVINCIYEUN
(reads script)
Wow, they are not kidding. This episode was written by someone who thinks white bread has a kick to it.
(speaks to Omnisimmons)
Dad, when will this script pick up?
OMNISIMMONS
Let’s get the dumb introductions and set dressing out of the way and then we can hit the Rated-R stuff.
MOMDRA OH
Omni-Man, make sure you don’t bring in any parasites from the planet Xolfar again. I just finished bleaching the rug and I don’t want any more galactic diseases that spew rainbow acid.
INVINCIYEUN
Dad, will I ever be a superhero?
OMNISIMMONS
It’s very hard to tell if my super powered genes will move on to a human host.
INVINCIYEUN
(throws garbage bag one hundred miles)
Oh look.
OMNISIMMONS
Sweet. On to the Rated-R stuff!
INT. PETER PARKER SCHOOL FOR ORIGIN STORIES
INVINCIYEUN attends school like a NORMAL TEENAGER. He does NORMAL THINGS like ATTEND CLASS. ZAZIE LOVE INTEREST is eyeing up our YOUNG HERO TO BE.
INVINCIYEUN
They are not being facetious. This is really a very mundane day of school. Even my bullies aren’t motivated to bully.
BULLY
(weakly)
Give me your lunch…ah who cares?
ZAZIE LOVE INTEREST
Hi, you are kind of interesting and worth hanging out with as long as you can guarantee there will be no secrets between us.
INVINCIYEUN
Sounds doable. Now I need to go to my job.
INVINCIYEUN quits his job because he has a SUPER POWER.
INVINCIYEUN
I guess we won’t find plot there.
INT. THE AVENGERS LEAGUE OF HALLS
OMNISIMMONS has called a MEETING with the other members of THE GUARDIANS OF THE GLOBE.
OMNISIMMONS
I called this special meeting to make sure all of you have finalized your life insurance policies and updated your next of kin.
NOT THE FLASH
That is an odd thing to ask.
NOT BLACK ADAM
Why did you say it like that?
NOT AQUA MAN
What could you possibly mean by that?
NOT WONDER WOMAN
I am sure Omnisimmons has a wonderful explanation.
OMNISIMMONS RIPS OFF their heads, DETACHES limbs, SPILLS more blood than the EXXON VALDEZ, SLICES heroes in half. PLAYS A RIB CAGE like a xylophone.
THE ONE DAD WHO LET HIS SON WATCH THIS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS INCREDIBLES
Oh dear.
INT. THE GOVERNMENT PLACE FOR SECRET GOVERNING
CECIL GOGGINS is looking to figure out which EVIL VILLAIN had the power to RIP apart the GUARDIANS in the SAME WAY OMNISIMMONS would do it.
CECIL GOGGINS
This is such a hard puzzle. Everyone on your team died in a way that explains your super powers and you witnessed the whole thing.
OMNISIMMONS
Yep, and I suffered a major injury.
(shows rug burn on elbow)
CECIL GOGGINS
Hmmm…the puzzle thickens.
INT. THE JUNIOR GLOBAL GUARDIAN LEAGUE
INVINCIYEUN has LEARNED how to FLY and PUNCH things. Now that he has GREAT POWERS he needs GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
INVINCIYEUN
While my dad is reliving the plot to Brightburn, I get to check out the only super heroes left.
ATOM JACOBS
Hi, welcome to the team. Usually, we would need to have tryouts to see if you fit, but history tells me that a celebrity’s child is just as good as the celebrity at the thing the celebrity was good at. We have openings for team leader if you are interested.
SPLODEZOUKAS
I am Mid-Puberty Gambit. How may I offend you?
(that is all you need to know)
ROBOQUINTO
My character is slightly less emotional than Spock.
EXT. HERO MONTAGE
INVICIYEUN fights various bad guys that feel right at home with the 50-cent bin of a comic book shop.
INVINCIYEUN
(gets a black eye)
Each.
INVINCIYEUN
(loses all his teeth)
Fight.
INVINCIYEUN
(Every rib is shattered)
I get.
INVINCIYEUN
(gets massive brain contusions)
A little.
INVINCIYEUN
(left side of body is missing)
Better.
INVINCIYEUN
(hooked up to life giving tubes)
Do we really have to use my body to justify the MA rating?
INT. SUBURBAN HOUSE- PLOT REVEAL O’ CLOCK
MOMDRA OH is starting to SUSPECT that her ALIEN HUSBAND has a SECRET LIFE that includes murdering GOOD GUYS.
MOMDRA OH
Tell me the truth, OmniSimmons! Are you secretly conspiring evil deeds behind my back?
OMNISIMMONS
The good news is it isn’t a secret affair. I find all human women disgusting. So disgusting, in fact, I wish they would all be captured and turned into slave cattle.
MOMDRA OH
Well that is a relief. Dinner is at 6pm. We are having lamb loaf.
OMNISIMMONS
Have you seen Invinciyeun? I want to have a father-to-son talk with him. It’s his first indoctrination to turn to genocide and I want it to be special.
INT. PLACE WHERE YOUNG TEENS HANG OUT
ZAZIE LOVE INTEREST is worried about all the lies INVINCIYEUN is telling her.
ZAZIE LOVE INTEREST
You miss school all the time. You can levitate in the air. You can lift a bus. All the signs are evident. You are dating Atom Jacobs behind my back.
INVINCIYEUN
I can’t tell you my secret. If I tell you then all my villains will come to your house as a way to hurt me.
ZAZIE LOVE INTEREST
I get it. You are trying to protect me.
INVINCIYEUN
You? I am trying to protect me. All my enemies put me in the hospital.
INT. SECRET GOVERNING PLACE FOR GOVERNMENT
CECIL GOGGINS is preparing the JUNIOR GUARDIANS for OMNISIMMONS.
CECIL GOGGINS
The fate of the world rests in your ability to stop him.
(hands out life insurance waivers)
(hands out casket catalogs)
SPLODEZOUKAS
Thank you for your confidence, sir, but you should know that our professionalism makes the Suicide Squad look like Seal Team Six.
HULK GIRL
Every time I transform, I get younger and younger.
ROBOQUINTO
(gets turned on by that fact)
Woah, I think my programming is messed up. That is a weird thing to be attracted to.
EVE JACOBS
I would help you, but Africa needs clean rivers. Good luck finding a girl that can change all matter.
CECIL GOGGINS
Invinciyeun, it is all up to you.
INVINCIYEUN
(trips on banana peel and shatters skull)
EXT. GOKU MOUNTAIN
OMNISIMMONS is having a heart-to-heart with his son.
OMNISIMMONS
So you can see that because of my upbringing from the Nazi Planet of Super Hitlers that it is very justifiable for me to kill everyone on this planet.
INVINCIYEUN
You make some very strong arguments, but let’s hear some suggestions that don’t end in me killing my friends and family. Maybe a bake sale?
OMNISIMMONS
I guess we need to have an epically imbalanced fight. Every viewer knew this was coming. No one paid admission for your vanilla home and dating life.
OMNISIMMONS and INVINCIYEUN perform a TRIBUTE TO EVERY DRAGON BALL Z FIGHT that went nowhere. OMNISIMMONS literally uses INVINCIYEUN’s FACE to kill everyone on a SUBWAY. BUILDINGS TOPPLE in NEW YORK CITY, STRUCTURES DEMOLISH in LOS ANGELES.
MEANWHILE: IN DETROIT
OMNISIMMONS
I think Detroit has had enough damage for a lifetime. Let’s skip this one.
FINALLY, INVINCIYEUN is BATTERED, BROKEN, TOOTHLESS, EYES SWOLLEN SHUT, and his SELF-ESTEEM is probably pretty low. OMNISIMMONS is about to deliver the FINAL BLOW.
OMNISIMMONS
Think, Yeun, think. We will live for a millennium and all your friends will die. Why should you care?
INVINCIYEUN
(gasping for life)
If this doesn’t end in a redemptive arc then people will mistake this for “The Boys: The Animated Series.”
OMNISIMMONS
Fine. But let this be a lesson to everyone. If I don’t get photos of Spider-Man this will happen again.
INT. SUPER HERO HOSPITAL
MOMDRA OH and CECIL GOGGINS visit INVINCIYEUN at the INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. Each one of his bones has its own BODYCAST.
CECIL GOGGINS
Rest now. You did good. Know that you temporarily made a walking doomsday weapon think about his actions.
MOMDRA OH
And try not to think how this bombshell will ruin our family dynamic and drive me into alcoholism. Sweet dreams.
(kisses Invinciyeun’s cheek)
(his cheek bone snaps in two)
EXT. SPACE- THE FINAL ROGENTIER
INVINCIYEUN is all better because he got 8 HOURS OF SLEEP and he STRIVED FOR FIVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. He meets ALIEN ROGEN, a species that lives to ANNOY the PROTAGONIST.
ALIEN ROGEN
You saved the Earth, but now you are getting picked up for a second season. They burned up the alien invasion plot line so you know what that means in the comics.
INVINCIYEUN
A shoddy stab at a very tired multiverse plot.
ALIEN ROGEN
(nods)
(gives rod to beat dead horse)
INVINCIYEUN
(a single tear leaves his eye)
(the tear lands on his foot and shatters every bone)
THE END
