I’m drawing a blank here. I saw the movie “The Specials” last night and really liked it, but it reminded me of a trailer I saw some time back. This trailer was about superheros obviously, but they were a bunch of misfits. I do remember there was a guy with the power to see like 7 seconds in the future, and they went to a bar which had a sign which said something like “no powers allowed inside” or “no masks allowed inside” I can’t remember. I also cannot find anything with Google using any of the above terms. Anybody know the name of the movie? Thanks in advance! ---

> [@silenus](#): > > [Mystery Men](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132347/)? No, I saw that. This one was much more recent. I’m not even sure if it has been in theaters yet. It is possible it is a TV series I suppose. ☹ ---

I think \*Saturday Night Live \*had a bit that was a take-off on _Misfits of Science_, where they had one guy that could go 7 seconds in the past, and someone else that could staple any two objects together. This would have been in the early to mid '80s, IIRC. ---

Not really. It’s like the Live Action Tick’s brain dead British cousin.
