Part of The Bad Guys, book 8
First published 2018
Mr. Wolf stares down at his smoking pants lying in tatters on the sidewalk. He and his fellow Bad Guys have somehow gained superpowers, but these abilities come with serious flaws. Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Shark face the same embarrassing problem. Their newfound powers seem designed more for public humiliation than heroics. Yet the world needs saving. Marmalade threatens global destruction, and the Bad Guys represent the only hope for stopping him. They must figure out how to use their broken superpowers effectively. The team discovers they might not have to face this challenge alone. Help could come from unexpected places. Mr. Wolf and his friends finally get their shot at becoming real heroes, even if their powers work in the most ridiculous ways possible.
