Plot
In 1960, Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum invents a device known as Titan Badge, which offers humans superpowers by altering the wearer’s DNA. He gave three Badges to two down-on-their-luck children, and one adult— creating America's most famous family of superheroes, which included telepath Vista, super-strong Ansel, and teleporter Maya.
But over the years, as egos bruised and resentments developed, the professor replaced the team with newer members. In 1979, Vista and Ansel will stop at almost nothing to get the Titan Badges back. Their plan: stage a heist of their Titan Badges from The Hyperion Museum.
But the robbery runs into trouble when they realize that access to the badges requires Professor Mandulbaum’s biometric scan. So Vista and Ansel instead take the museum staff and visitors hostage, forcing a confrontation with their former father figure, the police, and, ultimately, against a supervillain, Ares, who threatens to destroy them all.
