Synopsis:
When his teachers quit, Dean Egghead is forced to look for new ones to teach at his academy for super-heroes. After being turned down by the Justice League, Doom Patrol, Metamorpho, Metal Men, and Super-Hip, Egghead turns to the only team left, the Inferior Five. The Inferior Five meet Egghead's students, the Ape, Basilisk, Icarus, Winter Wonderland, and Levitation Lass.

After taking the students on a trip into the city of Megalopolis, the Inferior Five returns to the school. Waiting for them is a group of villains known as F.A.N. A battle ensues with the mutant students helping their teachers defeat their foes. After the fight, the Inferior Five quits as teachers, leaving the students to the care of their parents in the Freedom Brigade.
