when a planet is about to be destroyed. They each have a different fate on Earth: the gorgeous infant with abilities crashes on a mansion's lawn, while the other, who is ugly and blue with a huge head, crashes with his buddy Minion in a jail yard. They were reared in various Metro City neighborhoods, yet they attend the same talented school. One becomes selfishly popular, while the other is completely shunned by the other pupils. When they grow up, they become rivals and are known to the public as the superhero Metro Man and the evil Megamind. Megamind consistently loses when they battle.
