Azaria plays A Blue Raja, the self-described "effete British superhero" world health organization wears the turban & throws silverware at villains by using high preciseness (including forks & spoons but not, as a point of honor, knives).

Captain Amazing (played by Greg Kinnear), Champion City's most famous & respected superhero, faces the condition: he's going away from supervillains to defeat. Whenever his public image suffers, and then clean his corporate sponsorships (his costume is covered by using company logotype). He secretly arranges a release of his greatest resister, Casanova Frankenstein (played by Geoffrey Rush), from an insane asylum, hoping to revitalize his reputation by once again facing a criminal mastermind. Frankenstein captures Amazing quickly & effortlessly, even so, & puts into motion the project to kill Champion City. Suddenly, it's as much as a "other guys" to save a day.
