* The Gangreen Gang getting superpowers in "Power Lunch", after looting a convenience store and getting blasted by the Girl's heat vision. Each member got powers based on what kind of junk food they had been binging on.
** Ace becomes AnIcePerson after eating a ton of soft-serve ice cream right from the machine, as well as popsicles and fudgesicles.
** Snake becomes a RubberMan from eating a ton of stretchy candy such as gum, taffee, etc.
** Grubber can make [[MakeMeWannaShout superpowered belches]] from eating a lot of starchy snacks such as hot dogs and potato chips.
** Arturo gets SuperSpeed from drinking a ton of [[MustHaveCaffeine convenience store coffee]].
** Finally, Big Billy eays a ton of hard candy and becomes a rock. Not a RockMonster like The Thing, just a regular boulder, albeit with his hair and mouth on it. He can still somehow move though, but only off-screen.
** After almost beating the girls in a fight, the Gang is BroughtDownToNormal when the irradiated junk food in their stomachs finishes passing through their system, and they end up with a PottyEmergency mid-fight.

** The Gang pounding on a junked car. Billy punches at the hood, Arturo jumps on the roof, and Snake fools around behind the wheel. Pan to the rear end, where Ace is getting ready to hit the car with a bat. He does so a couple of times and then offers a chance to Buttercup, who is standing next to him. She jumps in front of Snake, holding the bat; he tries desperately to wave her off, but she pays no mind. She hits the car; the others watch as it sails over the horizon, carrying Snake with it.
