In Super Crooks season 1 episode 1, titled "Electric Boy," we are introduced to a group of skilled individuals with superpowers who use their abilities for personal gain. The episode centers around Johnny Bolt, a retired supervillain who is approached by his former partner Kasey, aka "The Antagonist," with a tempting offer to pull off a heist at a high-security facility.
Johnny is initially hesitant but agrees to join the team, which consists of Kasey, The Magician, Chain, and The Heat. Their target is a device that can control and amplify electric currents, which is being held by Mr. Knox, a powerful businessman with connections to the government.
The team's plan involves creating a diversion by hijacking an Armored Car, which is set to transport a valuable piece of art. They succeed in stealing the Armored Car and use it to enter the facility, but things take an unexpected turn when they encounter a mysterious masked figure who seems to be after the same device.
The group manages to bypass security and locate the device, but they are ambushed by Mr. Knox’s personal security team and a group of superheroes, led by a hero named The Gladiator. A battle ensues, and the team is forced to use their powers to fight their way through the opposition.
The episode ends with the team narrowly escaping with the device, but their victory is short-lived as they realize that they have attracted the attention of the heroes and the government. It becomes apparent that they must work together and keep a low profile to avoid being captured.
