The Power Plant (acacia fantasticus) is a supernatural plant that can grant superpowers to anyone who does not have powers. It appeared in The Thundermans Return.
History[]
Ancient villagers found and ate the seeds of a mysterious plant, known as the Power Plant, which gave them superpowers. The seeds from the blue pods turned them into superheroes whilst the seeds from the red pods turned them into supervillains. The ancient villagers are ancestors of current superheroes and supervillains and is how they got their superpowers. The Power Plant has been guarded by the Hero League for centuries and is currently kept by the longest serving superhero, Thunder Man.
In The Thundermans Return, the V-Team pose as superheroes so they can search for the Power Plant and use it to morph people to make an army of supervillains. After the V-Team replaced the T-Force, the V-Team search their headquarters to try and find it. Phoebe and Max figure out they are villains and they try and stop them so they can get fired and get their team back but the V-Team notice them and tie them up to find where the Power Plant is but they do not what it is so the V-Team go to Hiddenville to get the Power Plant from Thunder Man.
The V-Team go to The Thundermans' Home to get the Power Plant from Hank. Hank lies and claims he does not know what the Power Plant is so She-Crab shows a video of Phoebe and Max trapped in a booth in the Mayhem Cafe. Hank gives the Power Plant so that the V-Team tell them where Phoebe and Max are. The V-Team try a seed from a red pod on a squirrel to test if it works, which gave the squirrel red eyes and fire breath. The V-Team leave with the Power Plant and lie about telling the Thundermans where Phoebe and Max are. The V-Team put a dome-like structure over Hiddenville so that the Thundermans cannot follow them.
When the V-Team leave, a blue seed pod drops out of the Power Plant. The seeds from the blue seed pod can turn people into superheroes and The Thundermans plan on giving seeds to people so they can use all their powers to break the dome so they can rescue Phoebe and Max. They gather people at Hiddenville Park and give powers to Cherry, Oyster, Gideon, Mrs. Wong and Principal Bradford and break a piece of the dome, which allowed Chloe to teleport the Thundermans out of Hiddenville to rescue Phoebe and Max.
The V-Team go to Mount Metroburg, the highest point in Metroburg to launch a large drone to rain red-powered seeds down on everyone to morph them into an army of supervillains. Krondor grinds the seeds into dust and puts it a seed container in the containment hatch on the drone. The V-Team also get their fathers to watch how a real evil plan looks like. Before Dark Mayhem Jr. launches the drone, The Thundermans are teleported by Chloe to Mount Metroburg. The villains and the Thundermans fight on Mount Metroburg. The Thundermans thought they took care of everyone but Dark Mayhem Jr. climbs up the cliff and presses the button allowing the drone to fly before he is frozen by Max. Chloe teleports with Phoebe and Max on the drone and Max disables the power on the drone with Phoebe using her telekinesis to remove the seed container from the containment hatch. Before the drone exploded, Chloe teleports with Phoebe and Max to Mount Metroburg and Max gives the seed container back to Hank.
