The show premiered on Disney Channel on August 12, 2022, and is the 94th animated series produced by Disney Television Animation. The story focuses on Gretel, her pet Hamster, and her brother Kevin, who was seemingly skipped over when the aliens granted superpowers to the others. the three do their best to protect their city from a wide selection of peculiar supervillains, with Hamster and Gretel facing the dangers upfront while Kevin aids from the sidelines. The three also have decided to keep Hamster and Gretel's superhero alter egos a secret from their family and acquaintances, with the only person knowing about the secret since the early beginnings being Kevin and Gretel's cousin, Fred Grant (although over time, more of their friends and family appear to learn about it as well).
