![]() ![]() Robby Benson was believed to have been destroyed by Freddie Benson at the cost of his powers, but was sent into another dimension instead. Thinking Zoom and the team betrayed him, Robby Benson killed his teammates Brad, Raeven Chase and Wes. ![]() This made Zoom faster and stronger, but it also turned Concussion evil. The American military sought to enhance the team's powers using an experimental form of radiation called "Gamma-13". ![]() I’ll be honest, kid, you had a better chance at becoming a VCR repairman at that Sally Struthers correspondence school than you do here at becoming a superhero.Decades prior to the start of the film, the Zenith team are five young superheroes who fought to protect the world from evil, led by Jack Shepard ("Captain Zoom") and his older brother, Connor Shepard ("Concussion"). *Sigh*…look, I’m not gonna lie to you, the only one in this school who has a chance of doing anything after graduation is Kate Mara, and even she’s gonna end up in that shitty FANTASTIC FOUR reboot in another nine years. Of course, that depends on your definition of “cool X-Men shit”. But I promise you, at the very end of the movie, you will get to actually fight a bad guy and do some cool X-Men shit. Here at the Zoom Academy, you’ll be trained by a goateed Tim Allen to use your mutant powers for…playing baseball…getting paintballs shot at you…using a UFO to go pick up some food at Wendy’s…electrocuting Chevy Chase with lightning…uhh, look, I’m not gonna lie, the Zoom Academy has gone through some pretty drastic budget cuts. With Hugh Jackman baring his adamantium claws for one final time this weekend in LOGAN, it’s time to revisit this unsuccessful attempt to copy the X-MEN franchise: ZOOM: ACADEMY FOR SUPERHEROES, starring Tim Allen, Courteney Cox and Chevy Chase! If Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters was your first choice for a mutant academy, and Sky High was your pick for a safety school, think of Zoom’s Academy for Superheroes as the low-rent community college you’re forced to pick after both those schools reject you. Stars: Tim Allen, Courteney Cox, Kate Mara ![]()
