Story

“The Awesomes” is an American adult animated series that originally aired from 2013 to 2015. Created by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker, the show is a satirical take on the superhero genre, blending humor, adventure, and unconventional characters to deliver a unique and entertaining viewing experience.

The series revolves around Prock (Professor Doctor Jeremy “Prock” Awesome), voiced by Seth Meyers himself, the less-than-super son of the world’s greatest superhero, Mr. Awesome. When Mr. Awesome decides to retire and disband his superhero team, The Awesomes, Prock steps up to assemble a new team of heroes. However, these new recruits are far from the cream of the superhero crop; they are a motley crew of misfits with bizarre powers and quirky personalities.

As The Awesomes try to live up to their name and fill the shoes of their legendary predecessors, they face numerous challenges, including thwarting supervillains, dealing with their own insecurities and dysfunctions, and navigating the complexities of superhero politics. The show’s humor is often irreverent, poking fun at superhero tropes, pop culture, and contemporary issues.

Throughout the series, viewers are treated to a variety of colorful characters, each with their own quirks and powers, such as Muscleman, Gadget Gal, Sumo, and Impresario, to name a few. Together, they form an endearing and hilarious team that must learn to work together to save the world from impending threats, all while attempting to prove themselves as true heroes.

“The Awesomes” offers a clever and humorous deconstruction of the superhero genre, providing a fresh and comedic perspective on the world of capes and crime-fighting. While it only ran for two seasons, the show garnered a dedicated fanbase and is remembered for its witty writing, memorable characters, and the unique take it brought to the world of animation and superheroes.
