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!

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.

While Kid Muscle wrestles a living toilet, his tall, dark and dangerous rival Kevin Mask has problems of his own. In his first match of the Superhuman Olympics, the previously unstoppable Kevin is getting thrown around like a rag doll--and a quick glimpse under his stylish black T-shirt reveals that he's wasted away to skin and bones. Has the onetime DMP powerhouse lost his edge, jumped the shark, bought a one-way ticket to wrestling oblivion? Or is there a method to Kevin's meagerness--a scheme that could not only propel him to the top of the Superhuman Olympics, but also allow him to surpass even Kid Muscle's pummeling power?
Kid Muscle doesn't care. He's already got troubles...and a whole new distraction. Until now, his heart has belonged to the spunky, short-tempered Roxanne. But who is this coldhearted, muscle-bound, pointy-headed beauty the angels call Jacqueline McMadd?
