Plot
Part One
The Superior Squad are cleaning up in Zenith City after their titanic battle with Hypno Head in the Mando Building, the headquarters of the Superior Squad. Radioactive Man is carrying a nuclear reactor on some rubble, but it topples off towards Lure Lass and Purple Heart. Plasmo then uses his powers to stop it falling on them. Bug Boy checks the reactor, to be on the safe side, but it goes off and starts to reach critical mass. So Radioactive Man takes it and flies off with it. The Superior Squad worry about him as Radioactive Man takes the reactor to Zenith Caverns. He drops it in the underground river that supplies Zenith City with drinking water to cool it down.
Radioactive Man returns to his team to be congratulated by them. Radioactive Man tells Purple Heart that he is glad they can count on Miles Mando to cover the cost of the damage. Bug Boy then tells Radioactive Man that S.E.N.T.I.E.L., the cybernetic brain, is out of action due to the nuclear reactor overloading. Without it, the National Intelligence Agency is blind. Bug Boy tells Radioactive Man that he needs to work on fixing it rather than removing the lightning bolt from Radioactive Man's head.
Claude Kane III goes to tell Gloria Grand that he's unable to take her to the "Hats Off" ball, which comes as a relief to Gloria as she didn't want to spend an evening with him. Claude then asks Gloria out for lunch, but she turns him down. As Claude leaves the radio station, he hears a special bulletin which is a job for Radioactive Man - Fallout Boy is in danger.
Part Two - "Alone Against the Lava Man"
A few hours ago, at Zenith High School, Rod Runtledge is being bullied by other students. When counting the students, Principal Simon Beck realizes that Rod is missing, and finds him hanging in a school locker. The class then visits a nearby research site for their school trip. The large drill that is drilling through the ground explodes at the research site and a huge shape crawls out of the fiery pit. This turned out to be Magmo, the Lava Man. Magmo rules the world below and came to the surface to enslave everyone.
Rod quickly turns into Fallout Boy and attacks Magmo. The school bullies take this moment to steal Rod's clothes. During the fight, a steel bar that was supporting a large machine falls, and the machine falls on Fallout Boy, trapping him. Magmo then leaves, heading straight for Zenith City.
