Plot[]
Summary[]
The quads create superhero costumes for a child's birthday party; when a video of Tom as Goggle Man goes viral, the popularity goes to his head.
Full Plot[]
After Tom hurts himself, the quads 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 Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn'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 Ricky, Dicky and Dawn as their superhero. The popularity eventually gets into Nicky'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.

Trivia[]
- This is the first time that a quad (besides Dicky) lets popularity go to their head. This later happens with Ricky in A Brief Case of Popularity and It's a Hard Knocks Life and it happens with Dicky in Leader of the Stack.
- This episode is also a reunion for Phil Lewis and Brian Stepanek, who previously worked in 'Suite life of Zack and Cody' as Mr. Moseby and Arwin respectively.
- Cale (Angus) in real life has deformed hands due to a rare condition called Fanconi anemia, a genetic blood disorder that usually leads to bone marrow failure and often to blood cancers, such as leukemia.
- Ironically Aidan who plays Nicky would later play the "superhero" named Five in the series The Umbrella Academy. His caricature persona resembles his look in the future series.
- When Tom said, "Does that guy look familiar to you?". He was making a reference to the show they co-started. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
- Dicky's superhero persona The Incredible Bulk is a parody of The Incredible Hulk.
- The original super-hero personas were:
- Nicky: Goggle Boy
- Ricky: The Racketeer
- Dicky: The Incredible Bulk
- Dawn: Kick Chick
- This episode is similar to the Mighty Express episodes Super Nate, Mighty Milo, and the Halloween episode Freight Nate’s Fright Night.
