For years, The Specials have been the also-rans of superheroes, getting whatever missions the better groups are too busy to take. As the 6th or 7th best superhero team in the world, The Specials are stuck with too much time on their hands. They have turned their energies inward, engaging in petty fights, intragroup love affairs, financial squabbles, and misguided attempts to better their image. But now, that's all about to change. With The Strobe (Thomas Haden Church), The Weevil (Rob Lowe) and Amok (Jamie Kennedy) leading the way, The Specials are on the threshold of greatness. They've signed a deal with toy conglomerate Kosgro Toys to produce a line of action figures ... the Superhero equivalent of winning an Oscar.
