Synopsis/Details: 
It’s hard to compete with Trifector, a superhero with the strength of ten men, the ability to leap over three hundred feet and has influencer good looks. Especially when you’re bespectacled, bald and your super ability is to read people’s thoughts, but for some unknown reason only their dirty sexual thoughts. This earns you the moniker ‘Professor Why’ at The Super Skills Academy. Why? Because even the Super Skills Academy instructors don’t know why someone would posses such a skill. The same goes for Float Man, whose super ability is to hover a few feet off the ground. Or Yardstick who can stretch each of his limbs approximately three feet but only one limb at a time. And let’s not leave out Dragon Breath, a super hot vixen with the ability to shoot small flames from her mouth however, has such incredibly bad breath it makes people instantly puke. Herself even, if she catches a whiff. Are these the skills of superheroes? Not when you compare them to Reflexa, another superhero with unearthly fast reflexes who’s also a gun and melee anomaly with supermodel appeal. No, they are not the skills of superheroes. They are the skills of Super Skill Academy rejects, destined to live out their lives as normal everyday citizens keeping their odd ‘superpowers’ to themselves. Until one day...
