Airshot - Sad Everyone has a really cool superpower except for me.
Magnesium Man - Surprised No way. You're Airshot, the best shot in the group.
Airshot - Sad Big wup. So I'm really accurate. That's not a superpower. I'm just an overrated Annie Oakley.

Magnesium Man - Happy Listen, rifle or not, you're still Airshot. And being Airshot is awesome!

Magnesium Man - Surprised Whoa...no! I definitely did not say that.

Hydrangea - Surprised You went unarmed? You're Airshot. Not Airfist. Not Airkick! Airshot!
Airshot - Annoyed Well Magnesium Man said I could do it...
Hydrangea That guy gives terrible advice. You're just in a slump. Go try some target practice. That always cheers you up.

Airshot - Confused You? But you're Moby Man! Everyone loves you.
Moby Man - Annoyed Right. The guy who can breathe underwater? Big deal. You know what's underwater? More water.
Airshot - Confused But you can talk to fish.
Moby Man - Annoyed They're not great talkers. They have a vocabulary of five words: swim, worm, and bad hook man.
Airshot But you're also super strong!
Moby Man 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.
Airshot - Confused Huh, I always thought you were super happy.
Moby Man 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.
Airshot - Happy You're right. Thanks for cheering me up, Moby Man. Wanna go catch some bad guys?
