{{quote| '''Brainstorm:''' [[Defied Trope|Oh, no.]] ''Oh'' no! No, no, no, no, no, no, ''no''! [[Department of Redundancy Department|Absolutely not! Negative! No way! Never!]] [[Lampshade Hanging|And in case you didn't pick on that]], NO!<br />
'''Jack:''' Right. Now how about you tell me ''why'' it is that when you ''need'' help, [[What an Idiot!|you refuse it.]]<br />
'''Brainstorm:''' Because ''I'' want to be the heroic villain, okay? There's got to be at least one time where ''I'm'' [[The Bad Guy Wins|the one who has a victory!]] }}
 
Nonetheless, Jack teleports over to Calvin and Hobbes to discuss things with them. Via flashback, he reveals that the two had a pretty big [[Sibling Rivalry]] going on - Thunderstorm was [[Always Someone Better]] to Brainstorm, until the latter accidentally trapped the former in stasis. Calvin gathers the rest of the gang, Hobbes [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|vanishing]] as per usual.
 
Back at Thunderstorm's lab, Shadow's [[MesMe's a Crowd|duplicator]] is shown for the first time. He gets a call from Brainstorm, whom he mocks. After he attempts to send one of the Shadows to assassinate him, the gang [[Dynamic Entry|bust through the entrance of his lab]] to stop him. He sics a Shadow at them, which they easily defeat. Unfortunately, its clone is also a [[Technopath]], and traps the boys with wires before the MTM saves them.
 
After some more battling, Shadow initiates the "Last Resort Robo-Launcher" -
Line 49:
* [[Force Field]]: The MTM can make one.
** And to everyone's surprise, the Doom Satellite has one as well.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: One kicks off the plot of this TV movie.
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: A villainous example with Shadow.
* [[Human Popsicle]]: Thunderstorm.
* [[I'm Your Worst Nightmare]]: Calvin says this to Thunderstorm, and Socrates remarks [[Lampshade Hanging|that it wasn't even remotely threatening]] [[Dead Horse Trope|since it's been overused.]]
* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Shadow has [[Dual -Wielding]] dual [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser cannons]] [[Power Fist|in his palms]] that can blast fire.
* [[Lemony Narrator]]: He comments on Shadow looking like Jack [[Continuity Nod|during his "evil" episode.]]
** He also [[Lampshades]] Shadow's "[[The Grudge]]-[[Shout Out|like]]" manner of crawling up.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Everyone else is shocked]] when Dr. Brainstorm makes a reasonably serious-sounding threat.
** Not to mention how he ''actually thought his plan through'' for once.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Shadow, who at one point survives [[Kill It With Fire|several blasts of fire]], [[Make Me Wanna Shout|the Scream Horn]], ''and'' [[Frickin' Laser Beams|several lasers]] from the heroes.
* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: Brainstorm's [[Catch Phrase]] actually ''knocks Jack off his feet'' at one point.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: "It's a long story and should probably be done with a [[Flash Back]]..."
** Also see the second [[Continuity Nod]] above.
* [[MesMe's a Crowd]]: Shadow has a duplicator.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: If Calvin hadn't reflected that laser, ''this TV movie wouldn't have happened.''
* [[Oh Crap]] and [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Brainstorm ''and'' Jack do this upon finding a recording from Thunderstorm.
** Indeed, the latter's fear of him is what drives Calvin and Hobbes to realize ''this is serious''.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Thunderstorm, to Brainstorm.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Hobbes' [[Running Gag|tendency to do this]] is [[Deconstructed]].
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Thunderstorm and Shadow.
* [[Technopath]]: Shadow.
