Plot[edit | edit source]

Dreamzone is a special world in the Galaxy, ruled by the kind-hearted King Maximus with his daughter Princess Kiara. Unknown to him, his brother Dreadmus is plotting to overthrow him. Dreadmus creates Super K, a boy superhero, using the powers of all the Dreamzonians. But a goof-up causes Super K to turn out a freak in Dreadmus's view, unable to control his powers, and he is deserted by Dreadmus, who leaves his minions named Accidentally and Suddenly to take care of Super K. Dreadmus befriends the evil Dr. Ozox, a masked alchemist who has his own sinister plan to take over Dreamzone.

Super K and his friends come together to protect Dreamzone from the evil clutches of Dr. Ozox, but at the same time, Super K has to learn to control his powers.[1]
