Plot
Summary
The quads create superhero costumes for a child's birthday party; when a video of Nicky as Goggle Man goes viral, the popularity goes to his head.
Full Plot
After Tom hurts himself, the quad dress up as superheroes to attract customers to Tom's Get Sporty. Nicky dresses up as Goggle Boy; Ricky as the Racketeer; Dicky as the Incredible Bulk; and Dawn as Kick Chick. Kids love Dicky, Dawn, and Ricky's costumes but hate Nicky's and leave him out since his costume entirely consists of goggles, and his superhero character has no powers.
When Nicky walks outside to help hang a poster during a windstorm, a gust of wind carries him through the air briefly, which leads everyone to believe that he can fly. Nicky is surprised when kids start coming over to adore him instead of Dicky, Ricky and Dawn as their superhero. The popularity eventually gets into Ricky's head. Even the mayor wants to host his son's birthday party at Tom's Get Sporty with the flying Goggle Boy as the special guest. The other quads want to join in but Nicky refuses to let them, claiming that he doesn't need a sidekick. The other quads try being different heroes but the kids still prefer Nicky.
However, during the birthday party, the birthday boy demands that Goggle Boy should fly. Nicky is unable to fly. Embarrassed, he's forced to apologize to his siblings and admit that he's just not as good at them. So, when the lights go out, the other quads dress up in Nicky's goggles costume which helps them see better in the dark. They all make up with Nicky. They agree not to let popularity divide them as quads.
