Richie is caught pretending to be a superhero by Static. Richie gets mad when he is told he can never be one and runs off. In a rundown part of town, Richie bumps into an old man. Helping him up, Richie gets shocked. Behind him, two boys laugh. Then, all three disappear. A runaway truck almost hits a dog, but is stopped by Richie who now has superpowers. Virgil and Richie test out these powers in the scrap yard. Richie almost gets hurt and runs away to find the old man. The man's name is Ragtag and the boy's names are Run and Jump. All three are metahumans. Richie has to go back to Ragtag to get more power. He gives himself the name ""Push"" and becomes a superhero, leaving Static in the shadows. He realizes that to keep getting power from Ragtag, he'll have to start stealing for him. Richie refuses to do it and is attacked by Jump and Run. Static saves him and Richie goes back to being normal. He's okay with being average again.
