Megamind and Metro Man are life-long rivals in Metro City. Both are orphans sent to Earth from their dying planets, but are raised on earth in far different circumstances. Metro Man eventually becomes a superhero, defending the city from Megamind's villainous plans that he executes with the help of his henchman Minion, a fish-like creature he was given by his mother, who lives and acts from inside a mechanical gorilla-like suit. Megamind once again escapes from prison through a holographic disguise, sprays reporter Roxanne Ritchie with mace and kidnaps her, luring Metro Man to a copper-lined observatory. Metro Man collapses and then states that copper is his only weakness, which allows Megamind to kill him with a solar-powered death ray. Megamind quickly takes over the city, but finds that, with no one to challenge him, his villainous life has no meaning.
