**"Kid Cosmic and the Epic Fail"** is the sixth episode of the first season of *Kid Cosmic*, and the sixth episode overall.

It premiered on February 2, 2021, on Netflix.

## Synopsis

Pushed to the edge by Chuck's nonstop taunts, Kid decides to steal the other four rings and go it alone in a desert showdown with Chuck's Great Leader.

## Plot

Kid catatonically plays the footage revealing Papa G's deception over and over as Stuck Chuck gloats, telling him he's been secretly building a communicator that can call his Great Leader to Earth. Desperate to prove himself by defeating the Great Leader and his army, Kid allows Chuck to hook the communicator up to a satellite dish and use it.

After stealing the other Stones from his team, Kid faces off against the Great Leader's minions in the desert, managing to repel three waves of attack. After he destroys a giant alien robot, the rest of the team rushes to the scene. Papa G discovers that Kid found out about the fake robot invasion, and the boy makes it clear that the revelation hurt him terribly.

Refusing to let the others help, Kid charges the Great Leader's ship. The power of all five Stones combined overwhelms him, causing him to relive the memory of the night his parents were killed, and forcing him to discard the rings. After taking the Stones for himself, the Great Leader is attacked by a pack of Death Dogs, and abandons the rings just as quickly in favor of escaping in his ship. Chuck tries to follow, but is cruelly cast off and left on Earth as the ship departs.

Meanwhile, Kid is beside himself with frustration as he tries to pry his ring from the Death Dogs' jaws. A number of helicopters descend upon the group, and they are quickly surrounded by military personnel. The Biker in Black appears on his motorcycle, revealing himself to be part of a secret government agency, and he takes the Stones from the Death Dogs, who are under his control. Jo steps up on Kid's behalf and demands the rings back, but the boy glumly tells her not to argue, evidently having given up.

The episode ends with the group watching in horror as the neon sign in front of Mo's Oasis Café topples over, smashing into the diner's façade.

* When Stuck Chuck demoralizes Kid, he shows him a comic strip with his character or prefers Rex Rocket in which he gives up and throws his whole uniform in the trash is a reference to the famous panel in The Amazing Spider-Man #50, where Peter Parker throws his Spider-Man suit in the trash and declares that he is "Spider-Man No More!"

The next comic is Superiorman, the air on the cover shows that he has the destroyed planet referring to Superman, the next is called A-men referring to X-men, and talks about the lost love of the hero while also referring to the event in X-men #137 at the death of Jean Gray.
