This series features a
team of incompetent second generation superheroes. Parodies of
various CU characters appear, including Reed Victor, the
Yellowjacket, and his chauffeur Plato (Britt Reid, the Green Hornet,
and Kato); Caesar Single and Kwitcha Belliakin of
C.O.U.S.I.N.F.R.E.D. (Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin of
U.N.C.L.E.); John Claypool, Lord Gravestone, aka Darwin of the Apes
(the jungle lord); Sir Chauncey Berkeley, the Crimson Chrysanthemum
(Sir Percy Blakeney, the Scarlet Pimpernel); and Allergy Queen
(Ellery Queen). Parodies of several Marvel heroes also appear. While Dennis E. Power did a Wold Newton article regarding this series, for CU purposes, I consider it an AU.
