and making googly eyes

at some intellectual dweeb!

Who needs all that noise?

That's why I think we should team up.

You... Wait... What?

With my power,

and your big-headedness,

- we could rule the city!

- You want to team up?

I even drew up

some new costume designs, see?

- Costume designs?

- You'd be the brains,

so you'd get a Iittle brain,

wearing glasses on your costume,

or something.

And since I'm the cool one,

I'd have, Iike,

two tanks swordfighting...

I can't believe you.

AII your gifts, all your powers,

and you... you squander them

for your own personal gain.

- Yes!

- No! I'm the villain!

You're the good guy!

I do something bad,

and you come and get me!

That's why I created you.

Yeah, right. You're nuts.

Space Dad told me...

Look, I'm your space dad!

You should be more Iike Metro Man.

- You tricked me?

- Oh, don't Iike that?

Well, there's more.

I'm also the intellectual dweeb

dating Roxanne.

- No.

- And we were smooching up a storm!

When I get my hands on you,

I'm gonna...

Yes! Yes, I know!

Bring me to justice.

Oh God, how I've missed this.

And the hero strikes the first blow.

But evil returns with a backhand!

Yes!

Come out, you Iittle freak!

I want to see what that big brain

Iooks Iike on the pavement!

You fell for the oldest

evil trick in the book!

You Iittle blue twerp!

En garde!

Oh, now that's the spirit!

Parry! Thrust! Parry again!

Now it's time for some witty

back and forth banter!

You go first!

OK! Look, I'm not sure

where to go with that!

This one's for stealing

my girlfriend!

This one's for Space Dad making

a fool out of me!

And, Megamind, this one's

for Space Stepmom! You Iied to her!

Well done. I thought

that battle went really, really well.

- I mean, I have a few notes.

- Notes?

But they can wait.

You can take me to jail now.

Oh, no, no, no. I was thinking

more Iike the morgue. You're dead!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

This isn't how you play the game.

Game over.

Brain-bots!

I'm calling time out!

Time out? Time out! Time out!

Brain-bots,

initiate the fail-safe.

Guess what, Buster Brown?

It's made from copper.

You're powerless against it.

It's the very same metal used

to defeat... Metro Man?

You should stop comparing me

to Metro Man!

You can run, Megamind,

but you can't hide!

We're saved! We're saved!

What's your name, new hero?

- It's Titan.

- Thank you!

Thank you! Titan has freed us!

Oh, I wouldn't say "free."

More Iike under new management.

- What do you want?

- Titan's turned evil.

Congratulations. Another one of your

genius plans has backfired on you.

And why did my doorman Iet you up?

Carlos.

Please, Roxanne, no. No.

I need your help.

Why do you need my help?

Because you're

the smartest person I know.

But you can't hide here.

The copper should have worked.

Why didn't the copper work?

The copper worked

perfectly well Iast time.

Copper? You're not making any sense.

Look, if we don't find

Titan's weakness,

he'll destroy the whole city.

- OK, how can I help?

- We need to find answers.

You knew Metro Man best.

Did he have a hideout? A cave?

A solitary fortress of some kind?

Anything that would give us clues.

Well... there is one place I know.

You gave him these powers.

Can't you just take them away?

I can't. I Iost my diffuser gun

when I misplaced the invisible car.

The night you dumped me. Alone.

In the rain.

Did you ever Iook back?

- No!

- My giant blue head!

I guess we're here.

So, this is where he hid it.

After all these years.

My old shoolhouse.

You know, I think there's an apology

in order for the other night.

OK, that would be nice,

but make it quick.

We have much more

pressing matters to deal with.

Wow. I can't believe

he kept all this stuff.

I remember when he wore that.

- Shouldn't we try to stay focused here?

- Yes, of course. Right. Focused.

Hey. Come over and Iook at this.

What is it? What did you find?

Look.

This glass has ice cubes in it.

Yes, that's what happens

when water gets cold.

No, what I'm saying is,

don't you think it's a Iittle odd

that the ice hasn't melted yet?

One of Iife's great mysteries.

Hey.

We now have confirmed reports.

Titan, first thought to be

this city's new hero, has turned evil.

The city has never seen

this level of destruction.

If only Metro Man were still alive.

- You're alive?

- You're alive.

- I'm alive.

- But I, we...

We saw your skeleton!

You were dead!

Are you a ghost?

There had better be

an amazing explanation for this.

Speak, apparition.

OK. OK, OK, OK.

You both deserve the truth.

It all started

back at the observatory.

Roxanne was kidnapped.

I was gonna stop you.

My head wasn't in the game that day.

We were kind

of going through the motions.

So... using my super-speed,

I decided to go clear my head.

Fire!

Then I realized,

we had done this same silly charade

our entire lives.

I tried to get my mind off

how I was feeling,

but I just felt stuck.

I began to realize,

despite all my powers,

each and every citizen of Metro

had something I didn't: a choice.

Ever since I can remember, I've always

had to be what the city wanted me to be.

But what about what I wanted to do?

Then it suddenly hit me.

I do have a choice.

I can be whatever I want to be.

No one said this hero thing had to be

a lifetime gig.

You can't just quit, either.

That's when I got the brilliant idea...

to fake my death.

Copper drains my powers.

Your weakness is copper?

Once your death ray hit,

I'd never felt so alive.

So I borrowed a prop

from a nearby nursing school.

Metro Man was finally dead.

And Music Man was born!

- Music Man?

- That way I could keep my Iogo.

- 'Cause of wha...?

- Come again?

I was finally free to get in touch

with my true power...

...weaving Iyrical magic.

Check this out.

I have eyes that can see

Right through lead...

- You're horrible!

- Granted, you have talent.

But there's a madman

out there destroying our... your city.

How could you do this?!

The people of this city relied on you,

and you deserted them!

You Ieft us in the hands of him!

- No offense.

- No, I'm with you.

Look, we need your help.

I'm sorry. I really am.

I'm done.

You know, Iittle buddy,

there's a yin for every yang.

If there's bad,

good will rise up against it.

It's taken me a Iong time

to find my calling.

Now it's about time you find yours.

Hey, who needs him?

We can beat Titan ourselves.

I say we go back to the evil Iair,

grab some ray guns,

hold him sideways,

and just go all gangsta on him.

We can't.

So that's it? You're just giving up?

I'm the bad guy. I don't save the day,

I don't fly off into the sunset,

and I don't get the girl.

I'm going home.

Unless someone comes

to our aid soon, all may be lost.

Thousands have already fled the city

in a mass exodus.

Remaining citizens are warned

to stay indoors until further notice.

Authorities have issued a warning

to stay out of the downtown area
