In season three, the new Awesomes and team leader Prock (Seth Meyers) have finally been accepted by America.  Their only problem:  the team’s founder and Prock’s Dad, Mr. Awesome, has returned from space and he’s been infected with Dr. Malocchio’s evil serum and has a plan to destroy his own son’s team.

This adult animated show combines the thrills of comic book storytelling with the unique comedic voice of show co-creators Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker (Late Night with Seth Meyers).

Maya Rudolph (Lady Malocchio), Will Forte (Malocchio Jr.), Rachel Dratch (Government liaison Joyce Mandrake) and Amy Poehler (Prock’s ex-girlfriend Jaclyn Stone) all make appearances in season three.
