Adapted from the [[Toys/SuperThings toyline of the same name]], the webseries for ''[=SuperThings=]'' fleshes out the lore of the series, along with the hidden fight between the heroes and the villains. Originally started as dubbed motion comics, the series would eventually flip into a far more animated style, eventually reaching full animation. With the flip to full animation, the series would change from a lore-heavy arc into far more standalone episodes with a mini-arc running through them.
Taking place in Kaboom City, the city of the [=SuperThings=], the Kazoom from Professor K.'s lab has been stolen. With the blame squarely placed on Enigma, a shady top hat-wearing character, villains soon start to encroach the city. Once Kid Shine, the newest superhero to be created, is brought into hidden secrets, people thought to be heroes reveal themselves as villains, a so-called villain reveals himself as the biggest hero out there, and the true power of the Kazoom reveals itself.
Later gimmicks of the toyline would supplement themselves into the series, such as introducing a third faction of characters: Super Spies, who hide their true allegiances through shades. However, the biggest gimmick change would come through Series 8, with the Kazoom Kids.
Once ordinary children, the freshly created Neon Blast, an aftermath of Professor K.'s latest failed experiment, decides that he doesn't want to be a hero or a villain. Rather, he wants to have some fun, which equals turning random kids into object-themed heroes and villains, along with Kaboom City's newest forces.
A second AnimatedAdaptation, this time a CGI TV show, is set to release in late 2024, with two seasons and a movie planned.
----
!!The ''[=SuperThings=]'' webseries contains examples of:
* AnimatedAdaptation: The first of two for the brand. Starting as motion comics, it would eventually change into full animation.
* BrokenPedestal: The superhero Grafon to Mr. King. As a child, Mr. King idolized Grafon, the original superhero of Kaboom Town. However, overhearing Grafon blithely allowing Mikron to have his way with the oil wells, as the new Kazoom energy was found, thus leaving oil obsolete, thus breaking Mr. King's trust in superheroes. Getting caught in the resulting explosion from the battle and injuring himself to the point of needing an artificial arm completely severs his trust in superheroes, starting him on his quest to create supervillains and rule the city.
* ChildhoodFriends:
** Mr. King and Professor K. have been friends since school days, as revealed in a flashback episode. Professor K. was also the one to give Ron Ron to Mr. King as a get well soon gift.
** Clowny and Enigma. The two of them were best friends in their childhood, often playing basketball together. They would somewhat grow apart when they grew up, but reconnected later in life for the creation of Kid Kazoom.
* ChildishOlderSibling: Moonarchaos is a screechy voiced chaos-loving villain, willing to turn the town upside down for his own fun. This is in contrast to his younger brother Emperorder, who is far more mature, represents order, and is on the side of the heroes.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Grafon, the original superhero, is technically responsible for Mr. King's rise in power. By not taking Mikron's threat of destroying the oil wells seriously, due to the new founding of Kazoom energy, he severs Mr. King's trust in his idol. Getting the child caught in the ensuing explosion and causing him to lose his arm drives him to become a villain and take over the city.
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Oculus Max. He's a villain that has an alternate form that makes him look like a hero. As such, he has duped the heroes into thinking he's with them, while he's actually on the villains' side...and even that isn't solid. He has plans of double-crossing the villains as well for his own motives.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** The episode "Fixing the Planet!" has Glazer and Power Punch acting with the heroes, aghast at Gamerglitch's latest scheme. Thanks to recklessly causing the city to glitch out switched around the recycling bins, mixing up the trash. The two of them point out that they live on this planet too, so they should all be doing their part in keeping it clean.
** The episode "The Rescue Force against V-Rex!" has Moonarchaos, embodiment of villainous chaos, wholly weirded out and stunned into confusion by Professor K.'s reasoning for destroying the bakery: [[EvilIsPetty just wanting the cake they quit selling]]. The confusion takes the wind out of him, causing him to teleport the villains away from the action.
* EyeColourChange:
** Professor K.'s eyes change from white to yellow after consuming the new villainous yellow essence.
** Mr. King's eyes from white to red in his childhood after the incident that changes his life for the worse.
* FreudianExcuse: Mr. King was once an optimistic child that was hoping to become a superhero like his idols. However, when he learned that his family’s energy source, being living oil drums, was set to become obsolete, he lost faith in heroics. Getting injured in the process of learning this fact does little to help him, giving him his mechanical arm, red eyes, and plans to wipe out the superheroes.
* FunetikAksent: Professor K. as a child pronounced his S's as Z's, as seen in the comic text. His accent would become more naturalized when he grew older, dropping this trait.
* GoKartingWithBowser: The Kazoom Kids, along with their respective [=SuperThing=] partners, are far more casual with their nemeses, good or evil. This equals the kids spending time at the fair together, performing concerts together, and even going to the heroes' base to watch movies. The heroes will still try and stop the villains during their serious threats to the city, but they're easily able to find common ground.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Enigma, originally. Being privy to the true nature of Clank Corp. due to originally being Professor K.'s assistant, he had to be sneaky to make his plan work out, which lead to him looking like the villain in the eyes of Kaboom City, thanks to stealing the creation chamber for the good of the city. He would eventually be hailed a true hero, which sticks for the remainder of the series. Even his best friend and former roommate, Clowny, wasn't even privy to his secret heroics at first.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Kid Kazoom, due to being gifted with a new body and some of the strongest abilities of all the [=SuperThings=], takes a long while to adapt to his powers and master them. This would prove the same for Kazoom Power, his Kazoom Kid double.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Inverted. Enigma was original Professor K.'s young assistant. Once he learned the truth of Clank Corp.'s motives, he quickly abandoned the cause. He eventually would fall into the stead of Colorflash, honing his magic skills further.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Mr. King, Professor K., and the Clank Corp. company, were originally seen as shining beacons in society, because they were the company behind Kaboom City's superheroes. Of course, the public at the time didn't realize at the time they had plans to introduce super''villains'' to the city. They would eventually be unmasked as true villains and remain this way through the series.
* WebFirst: Some of the motion comics would eventually be ported into the starter guides and magazines, becoming full comic strips instead.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Like the toyline it is based on, villains in the series have yellow sclera, thanks to being made with villainous yellow essence.
