Plot
The series follows Changerella, Brass Butt, Buzz Girl, and Eric Normal, four students who attend a school for superheroes in Crumptonville. Though not particularly competent, they are determined to become proper superheroes.
Characters
- Eric Normal (voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas) is a hero with no powers who takes his role as a superhero-in-training very seriously. He is filled with enthusiasm, a keen sense of justice, and desire to combat evil. He fancies himself as a master planner, but his plans are rarely thought out.
- Brass Butt (voiced by Gary Littman) is Eric Normal's best friend and constant companion. BB (as he's known to his friends) comes from a long line of Brass Butts, with his father and grandfather having held the mantle before him.
- Changerella (voiced by Sarah Hadland) is an optimistic and peaceful hero with shapeshifting abilities. Similar to BB, she has very low intelligence such as being forgetful or not paying any attention. The most empathetic of the group, she is caring and very protective of the rest.3
- Buzz Girl (voiced by Tara Sands) is an insect-like hero with purple skin, four arms, and wings. She is able to climb walls, fly, stretch her tongue, and generate webs. Buzz Girl is often sarcastic, but means well.3
