Captain Man and Kid Danger contend with the sudden appearance of The Thumb Buddies, a goofy pair of dudes so enamored of Captain Man and Kid Danger that they want to emulate the heroes by becoming crime-fighters themselves (despite a total lack of any superpowers or crime-fighting abilities). First and foremost, they are fans, just ordinary citizens (schlubs), therefore deserving of protection by the superheroes. What does Captain Man do when they fall into a trap set for Captain Man and Kid Danger? He decides to act as if none of this happened before them, none of this came to their awareness, they weren't there, and he just walks away with Kid Danger.
Yeah, I guess that's the "comedy" of this comedy show - superheroes without any moral compass - but it remains reprehensible that neither hero is bothered by this decision. Out of sight out of mind, as it were. Henry/Kid Danger lives with this decision easily, showing no more moral code than the super-selfish Captain Man himself. You'd expect Charlotte, at least, to put two and two together and inquire after the fate of The Thumb Buddies, last seen with the highly jealous and incensed Captain Man and Kid Danger, but, no, she doesn't connect the dots. There's no outcry from the public to embarrass Captain Man, believing he must know something, holding him accountable (as tabloids often do), thereby forcing him to conduct a belated search.
Henry could have shown a little morality and a surviving bit of conscience by asking Schwoz to look into and track any nearby rocket travel that left Earth on the night The Thumb Buddies disappeared - interrupted and dismissed by Captain Man as "a matter not worth going into" (keeping his misdeed under wraps). No, Henry and Ray show no dynamic, displaying hardly any moral difference between the two of them now.
In that The Thumb Buddies end up baked to death (yet apparently still alive like the victims in 2005's House of Wax), Captain Man's cold-hearted decision about what to do next is to eat their food and (apparently) allow someone else to discover the bodies and deal with the clean-up.
Morality and ethical behavior are not issues brought up in this story. Ha-ha-ha.
