Ep. 2: Thunder And Lightning
There’s a new superheroine in town, and her name is Lightning Lady!

Loud clog-dancing by Meltman (in midst of a celebration to honor the Action League) goes wrong when it wakes up Spotzilla, a Mesozoic creature that runs rampant upon awakening.

-
Ep. 4: Sinkhole Of Doom
The Mayor’s son gets stuck in a kitchen sink during an exploration, and it’s up to the Action League to save him.

Can they rescue the victim before time runs out?
-
Ep. 5: No Fly Zone
A mysterious liquid is squirted onto Thundergirl by The Mayor in a sabotage attempt, resulting in her losing the ability to fly. Once the Action League find out that he has two children kidnapped in a birdhouse, only the power of flight can save them, so the League gets to work—using balloons and a slingshot, among other devices, to try to get Thundergirl airborne.
-
Ep. 6: Roboflesh
The Mayor kidnaps The Flesh and unleashes his newest weapon, RoboFlesh: a robot designed to look exactly like his namesake, except for bolts sticking out of his entire body. RoboFlesh goes into attack mode on the Action League, who are having a parade, until the actual Flesh comes to the rescue. The only downside is that the League can’t differentiate between the two!
-
Ep. 7: Stink or Swim
After a failed attempt at saving a victim from a flushing toilet, Stinky Diver goes on a downward spiral. The Action League must work together to bring back to courage he once had.

Upon the death of Helena XXII, Queen of the Pigeons, the Action League are given the task of keeping the four eggs she's left behind safe until they hatch.

-
Ep. 9: The Wrath of Spotzilla: Part 2
The episode starts off where the first half stopped, with The Flesh swinging a leash and attaching it to the collar of a running Spotzilla, unable to stop him after a short, rough-and-tumble trip. Will Stinky Diver remain within the realms of Spotzilla's massive stomach for good, or can the Action League come through before digestion occurs?
-
Ep. 10: Testimony of Terror
The Action League are given the task of protecting a young child from The Mayor for an upcoming testimonial.

-
Ep. 11: Dog Day Afterschool
A rocket that is being prepared for takeoff contains The Chief's beloved dog, Justice, within its realms, a plan executed by none other than The Mayor (as revenge against Justice for peeing in his hot tub). Can Thundergirl's flying ability and Meltman—who has been thrown onto the rocket via The Flesh's strength—be able to save the plastic pooch?
-
Ep. 12: Road to Ruin
The Mayor is driving through town, littering just about everywhere, and it's up to the Action League to chase him down and stop him from continuing his heinous ways! Can the League (in their Action Mobile) overcome The Mayor (in his much, much bigger automobile) before the entire town gets covered in trash?
-
Ep. 13: In the Belly of the Beast
The Mayor interrupts The Chief, in the middle of a date on the mountains, by sucking him up inside a gigantic vacuum cleaner. Not long afterwards, the rest of the Action League get trapped inside the structure, as well, and the only person who can save them is Meltman—who was made fun of by the League only seconds before!
