Licky Ricky is just a regular kid with a highly irregular superpower.

In fact, it might be the most useless, least impressive, socially unacceptable, slightly embarrassing, frankly gross superpower of all time!

But when seriously sinister stuff starts happening across the city, from disappearing toilets (gross!) to vanishing wi-fi (gasp!), it seems the survival of civilisation as we know it all depends on the worst hero ever!

The fate of the world’s butts is in Kid Kick’s handsβ€”and feet!
