So everything about the start is insanely average for literally any superhero of all time! They were normal and boring, got involved in an insanely hard to happen accident, got superpowers, and now people are looking for them! It's pretty basic but the show did a good job of making a family appropriate superhero that everybody in middle school can relate to. Ray is an amazing best friend and he honestly is the best character in the show. Annie is hilarious and a good older sister\genius. The parents don't know about the superpowers of their own daughter, but they are pretty charming and good parents! Danielle Atron is a great villain and Vince is very intimidating. Dave is funny and I couldn't help liking him from the very beginning. Alex can shoot lightning from her fingers, move things with her mind, and even morph into a puddle. Good start to the show as a whole.
