Premise
For years, the supervillain MegaMind has been battling his arch-nemesis, Metro City's very own superhero Metro-Man, and always fails to defeat him upon every confrontation. However, one day this also flips upside down when MegaMind finally takes down the caped hero permanently. Unfortunately, with the cycle of battles broken, the villain is left with an empty feeling. To revive his former passion, he decides to create a new superhero, ultimately choosing Hal Stewart, a seemingly harmless slacker, as his subject. Unknowing to MegaMind, the new hero has much different intentions to use his powers for.
