When Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero premiered on Disney XD, it introduced a brilliant comedic premise: an ordinary suburban kid who juggles high school math with saving the multiverse as a literal part-time hero. While the first season laid down a colorful foundation of episodic, dimension-hopping fun,

They split up. Rippen doesn't attack the Antagonist—he attacks the concept of endings, using an old villain trick: he introduces a plot hole so large, the Static has to stop and try to "patch" it. Sashi and Boone don't fight—they distract , creating so much chaotic, ridiculous, un-erasable nonsense (Boone becomes a one-man polka band) that the Static cannot compute.

They are known as the "Part-Time Heroes," tasked with saving various universes from evil. When Penn's parents are captured by their arch-nemesis, the villainous King Ludo (voiced by Brian Posehn), Penn must step up and become a hero himself to rescue them.

marked the epic conclusion of Disney’s genre-hopping animated series. Created by Jared Bush and Sam Levine, the show followed Penn Zero, a regular suburban kid who inherited the ultimate after-school job: stepping into the shoes of dimensions in need of a hero. Together with his best friends Boone (the part-time wise man) and Sashi (the part-time sidekick), Penn spent two seasons battling the nefarious, part-time villain ripples caused by Rippen and his minion, Larry.
For the uninitiated: Penn Zero (Middleditch) is a suburban kid whose parents are part-time heroes. When they are called away, Penn inherits the job. Using a "suitcase" device, he, along with his sidekick Sashi (Leigh-Allyn Baker) and the "neutral" ally Boone (Devine), gets zapped into different worlds (a medieval kingdom, a noir detective agency, a space opera) to battle villain Rippen (Killam) and his evil octopus, Larry.
