Bobby heads home to attend his father's retirement party but finds parents who aren't exactly happy that their son is a super hero. Bobby snaps off at one of his relatives and gets bawled out by his dad. He heads next door to hang out with beautiful neighbor, Marge Smith, but they are attacked by the alien looking beings, White Light and the Idiot. Marge and her family disappear in a flash of light as Iceman battles the villains. He defeats his foes but destroys the neighbor's house. His parents are outraged that he has exposed his mutant powers in front of the entire family.
