'''Super Ickis:''' After getting in trouble for trying to read his Ultra-Monster comics in class, Ickis puts together his own costume and pretends to be his hero. But after an accident launches him into the air and he accidentally saves a group of students, rumors spread that there's a ''real'' Ultra-Monster on campus. After learning the truth, Krumm becomes his sidekick, 'Stink Boy', and the two go on increasingly reckless misadventures.

'''The Substitute:''' An unfamiliar monster arrives at the Academy. This stranger informs the students that The Gromble has left to tend to his ailing mother, and introduces himself as their substitute teacher, Skritch. Unlike their strict Headmaster, Skritch quickly proves to be much more laidback, encouraging them to spend all day playing and goofing around! The only student who isn't okay with this is Oblina, who's convinced there's something shady about their sub...

!!''Super Ickis'' contains examples of:

* AccidentalHero: Ickis was literally ''launched'' into superheroism, sending him flying into the right place at the right time.
* BigDamnHeroes: When Ickis and Krumm get in over their heads at the water park, the ''real'' Ultra-Monster shows up to save them.
* BookAndSwitch: Ickis hides an issue of Ultra-Monster inside his Monster Manual so he can read it during class.
* FullBodyDisguise: Ultra-Monster, aka [[spoiler:The Gromble]].
* MagicFeather: Ickis scrounged together his costume himself, but becomes convinced it makes him more powerful. As a side-effect of this belief, he grows increasingly reckless. When the real Ultra-Monster shows up, he tells them that they don't need costumes to be scary.


!!''The Substitute'' contains examples of:

* AloneWithThePsycho: After Oblina tries -- and fails -- to rally the others after Ickis and Krumm disappear, the rest of the students leave the classroom to go play. Skritch then points out how it's just the two of them, and they really ''should'' have a little chat...
* BadWithTheBone: Skritch isn't above using the teacher's bone as a weapon.
* BoundAndGagged: The Gromble, Ickis and Krumm all find themselves tied up in The Gromble's bathtub.
* CarryABigStick: When Oblina makes it back to the academy, she brings a stick with her so she's armed for her rematch with Skritch.
* CassandraTruth: Oblina struggles to convince her fellow students that something's wrong with Skritch.
* CoolTeacher: Skritch seems like one to most of the students at first; he doesn't assign any homework, lets them play slime ball and goof off all day, everyday! Only Oblina doesn't like him.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Skritch kidnaps Ickis and Krumm because he thinks they know too much about his EvilPlan. When he ungags them, Krumm admits he has no idea what's going on, and Ickis demands answers.
* NiceShoes: When he first arrives at the Academy, Skritch is wearing two pairs of nice white shoes. Later, he starts wearing The Gromble's signature red heels.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Skritch is GenreBlind enough to think that Oblina died after getting swept away in the sewer, and tells The Gromble and her friends as much.
* TheResenter: Skritch believes that he's a much better teacher than The Gromble and should have been made one instead of him.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Skritch surrounds himself with photos and articles about his rival.
* SequelHook: When The Gromble asks Skritch if he's finally learned the importance of hard work, Skritch happily agrees, claiming he's finally found a goal worth working for. However, he doesn't tell him what it is: [[spoiler:getting {{Revenge}} on them]].
* TeachersPet:
** Oblina's usual status as one doesn't help her case when she's trying to convince everyone that something's wrong. Ickis specifically tells her she's just jealous that she's not the favored student anymore.
** Skritch describes The Gromble as one, and makes it sound like he was unfairly favored by their teachers.
* TraitorShot: Just in case it wasn't obvious enough something's up with Skritch, he keeps getting close-ups where he [[SlasherSmile smiles evilly]].
* UnreliableVoiceover: When Skritch rants about how all his accomplishments were overlooked in favor of The Gromble, the accompanying {{Flashback}}s show how they really weren't on the same level.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Oblina arrives and takes on Skritch in The Gromble's quarters, he starts seriously losing his cool. What ''really'' gets to him, though, is when [[spoiler:he realizes other students are watching the fight, and orders them to help him... and they assist their teacher and classmates instead]].
