The bat's out of the bag as Monkey Prince and Pigsy both realize what all the demon spirits around the world are after-eating specific superheroes in order to gain their powers!

Uh-oh, Monkey Prince, it's bad enough you have to keep hiding your tail when you're Marcus, and how your circlet keeps returning latched onto your body as something else every time you try to get rid of it-but now cannibalism is also on the menu?
