Captain Amazing, the hometown hero of Metro City, is searching for a sidekick!

Heroes near and far are auditioning for the part, but there's four unlikely candidates heating up the competition. A dog, a cat, a hamster, and a chameleon -- the adoring pets of Captain Amazing's alter ego, Harry -- have all been honing their own secret superpowers. Wanting to spend more time with their beloved human, each pet is vying for the coveted role.
