The Comet Cometh

The Comet Cometh is the sixth episode of Loonatics Unleashed. It first aired on November 5, 2005.
== Synopsis ==
At the one year anniversary celebration of the meteor strike, the Loonatics discover that a bigger meteor capable of causing a planet wide extinction is heading towards Acmetropolis so they head into space to stop it. The origins of the members of the team are also explained throughout the episode.
== Plot ==
Acmetropolis is celebrating the Loonatics on the one-year anniversary of the meteor strike, when the sky is suddenly filled with pieces of rock falling from the stars. The Loonatics then are on the move to protect the citizens of Acmetropolis. After all the debris is reduced to rubble an investigation by Tech reveals that another meteor is headed straight for Acmetropolis, only this one is 500 times larger than the one that gave the Loonatics their powers one year prior.
Duck comments that he won't like a world where everyone has superpowers, but Lexi tells him that when this meteor hits there will be nobody. Zadavia confirms this and tells the Loonatics that they need to stop the meteor before it strikes the planet. Duck thinks the mission will be easy until Rev lists all the dangers they could experience in space.
As the team prepares for the intercept mission, the lives about each member of the Loonatics and what they were doing before the meteor struck are shown. Ace was martial arts stunt double who believed that he could do more than fill the role of an ordinary stunt double but was under tight control of the director. Lexi was a student at Acme University trying out for the cheerleading squad. Though she had extraordinary skill in gymnastics and agility, the head cheerleader was jealous of her and didn't want her to get the spot on the team. Duck was a pool boy, angry at the fact most of his day consisted of getting dirty diapers out of the pool. Slam was a professional wrestler, disapointed by the fact that the matches were staged. Tech was a student at the Acme Tech Institute, although his need for perfection often caused his inventions to backfire. Rev was a pizza delivery boy who was always late, despite his invention of rocket roller-skates.
In space, the Loonatics suit up to take out the meteor. When they fail to destroy the meteor, they land on it to plant charges and destroy it from the inside all while mysterious cosmic energy interferes with their mission. Though the Loonatics are eventually successful in destroying the meteor, Ace is still troubled about the mysterious cosmic energy that tried to stop them and believes something more sinister is at play. Elsewhere deep in space, an unknown figure with the same powers as Zadavia declares that he will destroy Acmetropolis.
