Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Airshot's exclamation mark Hey Airshot, what's wrong? Everyone has a really cool superpower except for me. No way. You're Airshot, the best shot in the group. Big wup. So I'm really accurate. That's not a superpower. I'm just an overrated Annie Oakley. I guess you have a point. I can fly, Moby Man can breathe underwater, Hydrangea can control nature itself... You're not helping. Listen, rifle or not, you're still Airshot. And being Airshot is awesome! ...So what you're saying is I don't even need a gun? Whoa...no! I definitely did not say that. You're the best, Magnesium Man. The streets better watch out because there's a new Airshot on patrol tonight! I'll go ahead and let the hospital know to expect you.

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Airshot's exclamation mark Hey Airshot, what's wrong? I tried crimefighting without my rifle...it did not go well. You went unarmed? You're Airshot. Not Airfist. Not Airkick! Airshot! Well Magnesium Man said I could do it... That guy gives terrible advice. You're just in a slump. Go try some target practice. That always cheers you up. You're right. Thanks. Say, you want to come with? I'd love to, but Black Voodoo got into the catnip again and I'm on cleanup duty. Task: "Make Airshot Do Some Target Practice". The job takes 4 hours.

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Airshot's exclamation mark Hey Airshot, what's wrong? Nothing other than having the worst superpower possible. Are you kidding? I'd kill to switch places with you! You? But you're Moby Man! Everyone loves you. Right. The guy who can breathe underwater? Big deal. You know what's underwater? More water. But you can talk to fish. They're not great talkers. They have a vocabulary of five words: swim, worm, and bad hook man. But you're also super strong! I'm the weakest sibling in my family! All the sea creatures make fun of me. Ever have a sea cucumber laugh in your face? Not fun. Huh, I always thought you were super happy. Look, life is all about making the best with what you have. And you have a great talent for fighting crime. We're lucky to have you. You're right. Thanks for cheering me up, Moby Man. Wanna go catch some bad guys? Can't right now. I'm having lunch with a barracuda. Another fish? No, my ex-wife. Task: "Make Airshot Catch Bad Guys".
