Further details

On a trip to Ultron to request some leave to take Janet and Ollie on holiday, Thermoman picks up a rather nasty space virus, which is fatal to humans. Unfortunately, on his return to Earth, Janet, Stanley, Ella and Mrs Raven catch it off him and Thermoman has to neutralise the virus with a Thermo-Kiss-Of-Life. During this brief exchange of bodily breath, however, he accidentally passes on his super-powers. Stanley and Ella become Faldo Man and Dorothy Perkins and are harmless enough, if a little selective in whom they save, but when Mrs Raven transforms into The Raven and terrorises the world with spiteful acts of mischief - such as dumping Disney World in Siberia - Thermoman is forced to suck his superpowers out again.
