This episode is one of the better ones from season one. It introduces a new supervillain, El Seed, and several new superheroes - The Civic Minded Five.

El Seed is a plant who attended night school to learn about agriculture. With his henchpeople, the The Bee Twins, he creates a plant vitilizer that allows plants to move around. El Seed uses the vitilizer to create an army of plants to try to overthrow "the works of the animal kingdom", but of course he has to defeat The Tick to do it...
