Episode 3: Discriminant Boy Obtains A Mode of Transport.

The villain snarled 'Ah hah, Discriminant Boy, we meet again. Last time I saw you, you not only had an IQ in the bottom 2 percent of the population, you had your head in a bucket and cleaning fluid dribbling down the back of your neck.'

'Mind you, Spike Boy had nearly impaled himself on a mop, and had a feather duster in a place where very few feather dusters have been, before or since,' interrupted the villainess.

'Shut up,' barked the gangster.

'But you have not yet encountered the full blast of my powers!' With that Discriminant Boy released the full force of his latest (imaginary) calculus assignment upon the Scourges of Satan and they ran off howling.

It was then that Discriminant Boy realised he could hear a peculiar sound. It was not Hyperbolia laughing in admiration of victory. The noise was being made by the mode of transport left behind by the debauched fiends in their hurry. And this mode of transport was... The GrumbleBum.

'Hurray, a mode of transport!' cried Discriminant Boy. 'At last! I am a real Super-Zero! I have a source of power, a mode of transport, a crappy name, and a love interest.'

'An unwilling love interest.' Hyperbolia put in.

Nevertheless, Discriminant Boy reported to Sensai Garden Gnome that night rather more upbeat. Until the next day, when his enemies discovered he had another essential Super-Zero requirement, a weakness.
