Marshall has incredible powers: He shoots laser beams from his eyes and flies. The problem is that he is short-sighted and suffers from vertigo, so his abilities don't help much. He dreams to be part of the Superteam, the best superhero group in the city. But who would be interested in a boy with defective powers? However, after he encounters a retired hero, Marshall gathers a group of kids with defective powers and together they discover they can be even better than the real superheroes.
