When alien invaders kidnap Earth's superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house.

Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada. If they're going to save their parents, they'll have to work together by using their individual powers -- from elasticity to time control to predicting the future -- and form an out-of-this-world team.

    Hated it, kids loved it.
    I personally hated it, it was a mess and pretty terrible in general.

    But

    My kids 3, 9 and 11 have watched it 4 times now, i never really understood how adults can rate a show designed for kids. Clearly its worked for the target audience.
