Bookroo's summary

Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Shark have gained superpowers, but they're not exactly hero material. With powers that often backfire, they face their biggest challenge yet: stopping Dr. Marmalade from destroying the world. Can these misfit heroes save the day, or will their defective abilities lead to chaos? As they bumble through their mission, unexpected help might just turn the tide. Dive into a world where bad guys try to be good, and nothing goes as planned. Will they rise to the occasion or fall flat on their faces?

From the publisher

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!I wish I’d had these books as a kid. Hilarious! – Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants and Dog Man They may look like Bad Guys, but these wannabe heroes are doing good deeds…whether you like it or not! This New York Times bestselling illustrated series is perfect for fans of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. The Bad Guys have strangely acquired SUPERPOWERS! But their powers might be, well, defective. They can only do things like blow their own pants off in public. Not exactly what you’d call hero-caliber skills. Defective or not, the Bad Guys have a job to do. With Dr. Marmalade ready to destroy the world, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Shark finally have their chance to be (super)heroes! And this time, they may just get some help…
