Season 2 episode 2, titled "Power Play," sees Virgil and his friend Richie attending a basketball game where the star player, Marcus Reed, is to break a record. However, the game is interrupted by a group of Bang Babies, people who gained superhuman abilities from the same gas that affected Virgil. These Bang Babies have banded together under the leadership of Ebon, a former friend of Virgil's who turned to a life of crime.

Ebon and his crew use their powers to cause chaos and destruction, and even manage to overpower Static and Gear, the duo's alter egos. Virgil and Richie must find a way to stop the villains before they can cause any more harm.

The episode features action-packed scenes and witty banter between the characters, showcasing the show's signature blend of superhero adventure and social commentary. It also introduces new characters and further develops existing ones, providing a well-rounded viewing experience.
