Somewhat accordingly, most episodes weren't actually about Hammerman trying to defeat a villain so much as they were about Stanley trying to overcome the problem of being unable to transform into Hammerman.

** SpaceWhaleAesop: Did we mention that it would be more accurate to say, "Don't make fun of short people because they may shrink everyone so now ''they'' will be tallest" and "Don't paint all over the wall because someone might make a spray that makes graffiti come to life and KillAllHumans"?

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Or more like the show didn't really bother to clarify what Hammerman's powers actually were. In general if he needed to do something and the writers could think of some way to work in music, dancing or musical imagery, he could do it. In at least one episode his pants act like a parachute.
