** The protagonists of Episode 2 have mostly genuinely useless powers, but there are a few hints that they could be put to use if used creatively. For example the girl who is literally just a tongue is capable of strangling a person thanks to being essentially a giant muscle. The guy with a stereo for a head is capable of delivering lethal sound waves, while Ghost is effectively immortal.

* AbusiveParents: The premise of "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents" is a group of Supe youths killing the parents who had mistreated and rejected them because they didn't have "big ticket" superpowers. Considering what awful pieces of work the parents are established as, it's hard not to side with the Supes.

Even worse, Wonder didn't care about how the cold would affect them as it was "part of the fun" for him, and apparently never bothered to retrieve their bodies from orbit.
