## Plot

#### Act 1

##### Scene One

The musical starts in Dayton, Ohio, on a cloudy afternoon day. Andrew, known as the PeePee PooPoo Man, walks out on stage, wearing a black jacket over his superhero attire. Andrew performs an altered version of Aerosmith’s “Dream On” while background characters walk around the busy street. After the song concludes, Andrew considers retiring and hanging up his cape after spending a quarter of his life fighting crime, so he could spend time with his family and focus on his hobbies, His plans are immediately crushed, after a mysterious portal opens up in the sky, spewing out several people from different universes. They run onto the stage and throw themselves onto Andrew, crushing him to the ground.

After a time skip to 30 minutes proceeding the portal’s opening, Andrew and everyone that fell from the portal gain consciousness and wake up. Everyone except Andrew and another man walk off the stage. Andrew wonders what happened, and is confronted by the only other man on stage. This is where “Bruce Burger” introduces himself to Andrew. Bruce claims that Andrew ruined his life and is yearning for revenge. This prompts a fight between the two, and the performance of “Dirty Deeds”. Once their fight and song ends, Andrew is about to end Bruce’s life. That is until Bruce’s phone goes off. Andrew is confused. Bruce explains that it’s his lunchtime, despite it being 6 P.M.. Bruce elaborates, saying that he has 48 hour days in his universe, instead of the normal 24 hours. Andrew is still confused, and walks home.

##### Scene Two

In scene two, news reporters Chelsea and Brogie break into normal programming, announcing that a portal has opened up on Earth, and that NASA is trying to learn the reason why, since this phenomenon has never happened in over 4 years. Chelsea and Brogie’s TV time is cut short due to a poorly timed commercial. In the commercial, a pair of sibling superheroes, Phantom Man and Phantom Girl, are promoting a licensed toy from their franchise, which is, ironically, a portal-opening ball. While they played with the ball, two mysterious figures attack Phantom Man and Phantom Girl, making them pass out.

## Main characters

**Andrew / The PeePee PooPoo Man:** A widely known superhero who has saved hundreds of lives and slain tons of villains. After his long career of saving the day, he is considering putting his cape up and going into retirement.

**Bruce Burger:** A niche, mediocre cartoon supervillain responsible for opening the multiverse portal to intentionally piss off THE PEEPEEPOOPOO MAN. BRUCE believes he’s the worst, most powerful villain out there.

**Dante:** Your average, wimpy, sidekick who would never stand a chance against his crime lord in a fight. Weirdly likes to call his boss “master” sometimes. And he can transform into a bird. And he likes his sword. His magical sword.

**Rita Rose:** A “professional” wrestler who’s done nothing in her career. Never won a match or a championship. RITA ROSE is most likely to be unsuccessful. She stole a championship belt from her wrestler friend, however. Guess that’s a start.

**Phantom Man:** The most popular superhero from a billion-dollar corporation that owns too many franchises. PHANTOM MAN can do basic superhero moves and magic. So can the 30 alternate versions of him.

**Phantom Girl:** PHANTOM MAN’S step sister who recently got her own TV show. She is just like her brother, with the same story and powers.

**Paul Farkle:** A self-indulgent, billionaire president with a superiority complex. PAUL’s first term is almost up and his attempts to win the upcoming election are failing miserably. As long as he spreads misinformation and hatred, maybe he’ll be reelected.

**Felicity Farkle:** The first lady and wife of PAUL FARKLE. She’s just as self-indulgent and bigoted as her husband. That’s about it.

**Chelsea Doyle and Brogie Hoagie are reporters for a local news station.**
