| − | |At an airborne high school for tomorrow's superheroes, student Will Stronghold is the son of two costumed vigilantes who, while he does not appear to have superpowers at first, develop them over time, hinting at the idea of social advancement, which is the basis for the [[American Dream]]. The main lesson he learns is knowing how to use one's abilities to one's advantage and achieve a greater goal. A catchphrase in the film is: "Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero," which can be related to the expression, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." | + | |At an airborne high school for tomorrow's superheroes, student Will Stronghold is the son of two costumed vigilantes who, while he does not appear to have superpowers at first, develop them over time, hinting at the idea of social advancement, which is the basis for the [[American Dream]].

A catchphrase in the film is: "Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero," which can be related to the expression, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." On a similar note, similar to ''The Incredibles'', the line also condemns forced diversity promotion messages such as "everyone can be a hero". |
| | Furthermore, the film promotes the idea that anyone can be a hero, as Will and his "sidekick" friends with seemingly unimpressive superhuman abilities eventually rise above their assigned statuses and save the school. Also, Gwen Grayson/Royal Pain, the feminist main villain, seeks to turn all the superheroes into babies, then raise them up to be evil and loyal to her (perhaps an effort to play God). In addition, Will's best friend Layla Williams, who can control plant life and ultimately becomes his girlfriend, is shown to contain many liberal beliefs, especially pacifism, but she gives up her pacifism to fight back and help defeat Royal Pain and her cronies. | | Furthermore, the film promotes the idea that anyone can be a hero, as Will and his "sidekick" friends with seemingly unimpressive superhuman abilities eventually rise above their assigned statuses and save the school.
