What do you do when a team of evil superpowered wrestlers from another planet threatens the health and safety of the Earth? Organize a team of GOOD superpowered wrestlers, of course! Kid Muscle, the son of legendary wrestler King Muscle, rockets to Earth and finds an evil wrestling gang called the DMP tearing the place apart. The punks on the DMP are the weirdest, nastiest, most outlandishly powerful musclebound freaks the galaxy has ever known. Kid Muscle's only hope: form a team that's even wilder. Lazy and cowardly, the Kid sure doesn't look like the universe's last great hope, but when something upsets him -like, say, EVIL - he busts out in muscles just like his old man! The only possible result is earthshaking, bodyslamming, ultimate-powered action that sends our entire planet sailing over the top rope!
Synopsis
Outrageous superpowered wrestlers
Kid Muscle, the son of legendary wrestler King Muscle, rockets to Earth and finds an evil wrestling gang called the DMP tearing the place apart. The punks on the DMP are the weirdest, nastiest, most outlandishly powerful musclebound freaks the galaxy has ever known. Kid Muscle's only hope: form a team that's even wilder.

Say what you want about No Respect, the trio of reprobates released from an orbital prison to battle Kid Muscle, but the guys know how to put on a show. In addition to staging his battle with the Kid atop an enormous stone lion, the bitter and ruthless Lone Bone Cold has kidnapped Minch, that creepy little guy from Planet Muscle, and is holding him for ransom. Oh, and Kid Muscle still hasn't mastered the Fire, that elusive force that powers Planet Muscle's intergalactic champions. Nothing's ever simple in the world of superpowered wrestling.
In yet another twist, it turns out Lone Bone Cold knows a little bit of Planet Muscle family history, and he's about to drop a bombshell that will rattle not only Kid Muscle, but the Kid's brilliant and inexplicably faithful manager, Meat. Will Meat recover from the flashback of a lifetime? Will Kid Muscle get his act together and master the Fire before it's too late? Will anyone figure out why Lone Bone Cold is such a nasty piece of work? The answers lie between these very covers
