"The Secret Origin of Supernova" is the second half of the tenth episode in the thirteenth season of Arthur.
Summary
Arthur is dismayed when he learns that the energy drink endorsed by Dark Bunny, his favorite super hero, is unhealthy. He goes in search of a new superhero.
Plot
A narrator starts the show saying that is in the future and Arthur is working as an insurance clerk , but when the "signal" appears he becomes "Supernova" and we see Arthur flying and D.W. in a cape (her blankie) and say "Supernova's assistant Starchild", but Arthur said "I don't want help" and Pal as a Siris.
After the title card, Arthur and Buster are watching Dark Bunny and they found out that there will be a "Dark Bunny comic convention" the next week in Elwood City. Arthur sees Dark Bunny advertise pop as "energy drink" and when they go and buy costumes, he buys the drink.
The next day, Brain reads the label and says that it is sugar. Then after a fantasy daydream, Arthur takes down all the Dark Bunny stuff and tries to find another one superhero. But he finds sugar cereal of one super hero and was made fun of a "little kids" super hero.
Then Arthur has a dream that had him as a "Supernova" and how D.W. and Arthur kind of worked as a team to defeat the snail-villain. The next day he tries to create a costume and D.W. likes it.
D.W. asks if she can be his partner and helps with his logo and they go to the convention in costume and he has learned he can still like Dark Bunny and not buy anything that is seen on TV.
