Plot

[edit]

In Swellview, scientists at the Evil Science Corp successfully manufacture a device called the Reality Altering Device (R.A.D.), during its transportation to a secure vault, the guards fail to notice a Kid Danger toy strategically placed in a nearby window. Within moments of securing the R.A.D., an infiltrator disguised as Kid Danger - Missy Martin, a devoted Kid Danger fan - steals the device. Pursued by several guards, Missy skillfully evades and incapacitates them, escaping with the R.A.D. Back at her home, adorned with memorabilia of the superhero, she prepares to use the R.A.D. to bring Kid Danger back to life. Unbeknownst to her, Henry Hart, the real Kid Danger, had faked his death and moved to Dystopia to fight crime alongside Jasper Dunlop, who had honed unique skills such as fighting in his sleep and speaking Spanish.

Meanwhile in Dystopia, Jasper assures Detective Jones that Henry will soon arrive, attempting to flirt with her before Piper Hart and Schwoz Schwartz interrupt, visiting to support Henry after Charlotte Page's departure for Harvard. Jasper, embarrassed by their attempts to help his romantic prospects, warns them of an imminent attack by the supervillain Blackout. Blackout seeks to steal plutonium from a truck to destroy Dystopia’s nuclear core. When the city is plunged into darkness, Henry abandons a public event to intervene. Schwoz hacks into surveillance to locate the truck, while Jasper, using his technoband, fights Blackout in an alley. Henry joins the fray, countering Blackout’s attacks and ultimately defeating him in a public display, much to the delight of his fans. However, a dispute with Jasper over recognition and fame leads to a heated argument, ending their friendship.

Back at his building, Henry discovers that Blackout has defaced his posters in anger. Simultaneously, Missy activates the R.A.D., bringing her fanfiction, The Adventures of Kid Danger & Superfan, to life. She transports Henry into her room, where he finds himself wearing an upgraded Kid Danger suit. Overwhelmed, Henry questions Missy’s motives. She confesses her desire to bring him back to fight the rising crime in Newtown, inspired by a traumatic mugging incident. Henry, however, admits that he had faked his death to start fresh in Dystopia, leaving Missy both shocked and thrilled. Despite Missy’s pleas to team up as vigilantes, Henry declines, insisting on returning to Dystopia.

As they debate, a fictional villain, Coach Cregg, from Missy’s stories appears and attacks a woman. Henry reluctantly intervenes but is overpowered, realizing that Missy's fanfiction has altered his abilities. Missy saves him using the R.A.D., but their troubles escalate when Vampiper, another of Missy’s creations, arrives, intent on obtaining the device. A narrow escape leads Henry and Missy to another reality, this time an '80s-themed nightclub, where they encounter alternate versions of Frankini, Piper, and Jasper (who operates as Captain Stache). Henry discovers that the R.A.D. has locked them into "story mode," forcing them to travel through Missy’s fanfiction realities to escape.

In an apocalyptic setting, Henry and Missy encounter a survivalist Jasper variant who helps them fend off Canadian Mounties. Together, they use clever tactics to defeat the attackers, further deepening Henry's appreciation for his real-world friendship with Jasper. The group then seeks the help of Post-Apocalyptic Schwoz, who explains that they need the crystal that is now in Vampiper's possession, to restore their original reality. Though initially blaming herself for the chaos, Missy finds encouragement in Henry's support, prompting her to continue the fight. Determined, the team prepares to face Vampiper in Newtown.

Back in Newtown, Vampiper has captured Missy’s sister Gemma as a hostage. Despite setbacks, including Coach Cregg's whistle incapacitating the team, Henry and Missy launch a daring rescue mission. Inside the house, Henry battles Vampiper, while Missy heroically sacrifices herself to secure the crystal, urging Henry to complete their mission. Although Vampiper summons reinforcements like Fangkini, Henry manages to pass the crystal to Post-Apocalyptic Schwoz, who prepares to restore reality.

The final confrontation sees Henry, Jasper, and Schwoz battling Vampiper and her minions. Despite overwhelming odds, Post-Apocalyptic Schwoz successfully inserts the crystal into the R.A.D., reversing the chaos and restoring order. Missy and Henry reconcile, with Henry acknowledging her bravery and growth. As the realities collapse back into place, Henry returns to Dystopia with a renewed appreciation for his friends, while Missy vows to continue making a difference in Newtown, inspired by her brief partnership with Kid Danger.

Reconciling with Jasper, Henry hears that Blackout is attacking again. He and Jasper managed to defeat Blackout as he allows Jasper to take the credit for Blackout's defeat as he gets a date with Detective Jones. After going to a show with Schwoz and Piper, Henry visits Newtown the next day with Schwoz as they drive off two punks that were bothering Missy. Henry invites her to be his sidekick which she accepts as they head to their new headquarters.

Sometime later, Henry and Missy arrive at the scene of a crime where they find Captain Man defeating some drones. He tells Henry that he needs his help.

During the credits, the alternate Frankini is seen performing in the 80s-themed nightclub.
