I’m super pumped with how this campaign is going! Hopefully we can hit the $12k to $15k mark! Can we make this happen!?
Okay! Let’s talk about Sky High!
Sky High Walked so that My Hero Academia Could RUN!
Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe there was SKY HIGH! If you’re not familiar with this Disney superhero movie, it follows Will Stronghold as he attends his Freshman year at Sky High to become a superhero. The problem, he doesn’t have any of his powers and his parents are some of the greatest heroes on the planet.
Throughout the course of the movie, Will and his friends must survive being classified as SIDE-KICKS because all of their powers are considered…not good…and Will has to avoid Warren Peace, a fire-user whose dad is in a maximum secure prison before of Will’s dad, the Commander.
Anyways. One day Warren and Will start fighting, which activates Will’s powers of super strength. He’s now promoted to SUPERHERO status, becomes popular with a girl named Gwen, and his SIDE KICK friends start to miss him. Will is in love with Gwen and because of this, breaks his father’s rule and takes her into their secret lair where a weapon known as the Pacifier is stolen.
On Homecoming, Gwen reveals herself as the super villain Royal Pain, and assembles the “bad kids” to do her bidding and destroy the school and turn everyone into babies with the Pacifier. Will and Warren team up along the rest of the sidekick friends, defeat Royal Pain, and the story ends their.
WHAT THE HECK DISNEY!?
You created a movie about the FRESHMAN year of a superhero school and stopped it there!?!?!?!?!? Oh my stars! This could be printing MONEY!
Don’t worry Disney! With the collapse of the MCU imminent, I will do my duties and show you what you COULD HAVE DONE with this series.
SOPHOMORE YEAR - Sky High 2
With the rest of the friend group now given SUPERHERO status thanks to the Commander (Will’s father), the group continues grow in their team work ability and figuring out how to best use their powers.
We also learn that Royal Pain’s crew of bad students have been sent off for a year of detention where they will be doing their schooling that year in a corrections facility.
My idea would be to have a new villain come up who is able to control some of the teachers at Sky High.
The group will notice that not all is what it seems, and that this particular villain is looking for something hidden within the school that has connections to The Commander and his wife from when they were in school.
At the same time, Warren Peace is still struggling with the fact that his father is a super villain, and he’s trying to be good. He knows he’s older than the rest of the group and tries not to rely on them.
Anyways. Evil villain comes, finds what they need, big battle, good guys win, end of movie.
I don’t really have this second movie thought out as much as the third and fourth.
JUNIOR YEAR - SKY HIGH 3
It might be the Junior for Will and his friends, but it’s the Senior year for the bad kids from Freshman year, namely Lash and Speed. It’s also the senior year for Warren Peace.
News has come out that the maximum security prison that was holding all the Super Villains has been broken into and several of the villains have escaped. The Commander and Jet Stream, along with several other heroes leave their kids so that they can stop this threat. The principle decides that it’s safest to get all students at Sky High to a safer location and take them to a classified safe area.
Lash and Speed start to cause chaos at this safe area as they start taking orders from the Jester from Sky High 1, and begin recruiting other kids to join them and be part of the next Super Villain society.
Warren is struggling even more since Sky High 2, and he learns that his father is one of the escaped convicts. When Lash and Speed give up the location of this new safe area to the Jester and the other villains, Will and Warren know that they need to team up with every one to stop them. Unfortunately Warren’s dad shows up and convinces Warren to join him. Will, unable to help Warren, has to fight him. A big battle ensues and the Commander along with other Superheroes come to save the day. Unfortunately the super villains get away, and Warren joins them.
SENIOR YEAR - SKY HIGH 4
It’s the senior for Will and his friends, and they all have to decide on their names, their branding, and also get assigned a sidekick that will join them in the field.
Outside of school, havoc is happening around the world as The Commander, Jetstream, and other heroes are struggling to round up all the super villains who escaped all at once.
Will’s sidekick is able to locate people through their power source, and Will uses that to locate Warren. Will tries to reason with Warren, however Warren’s desire to be make his father proud fogs his judgement. The two get into a massive fight, and Warren tells Will that the supervillains will be planning on wiping out the rest of the superhero children.
Will flies back to Sky High and informs The Commander that there will be an assault on Sky High. The Commander gets every superhero and prepares all the students for one big battle.
The Supervillains show up and a massive battle ensues. Will and Warren fight against each other, however Will doesn’t want to hurt him. Through an act of kindness, he spares Warren. Warren has a reconciliation moment with himself and takes on his dad. Big fight. Bing bang boom. Superheroes win. Villains put in prison. Senior is over. Will and his crew are now officially superheroes. The end.
EXCEPT IT’S NOT THE END!
Bruh with the way that shit is going in entertainment with reboot after reboot, or never ending sequels, you could make Sky High go on forever.
You could make a Sky High University movie or show with the same characters. You could do a 10 years later series or movie where all the characters are more established. You could do stories like The Commander retiring and Will taking on that new mantle. There are ENDLESS STORIES THAT YOU COULD DO IN THIS UNIVERSE AND DISNEY HAS DONE NOTHING WITH IT!
Okay that was my fun rant.
Comics wise, been very busy. Spend the whole week doing MY SEXY WITCH ACADEMIA fulfillment. Next up is BLACKJACK DUELIST fulfillment, and then we’re launching BULLET ASSASSIN LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD #3 campaign!
Okay! That was my update. Make sure to back SUPER PLUMBER SISTERS on Kickstarter!

I really enjoyed this text. Since I saw Sky High for the first time, I wanted so bad to have more movies about these heroes (and also that Layla and Warren become a couple haha). Thanks for sharing!
GREW UP on Sky High, you know how sometimes you have a head canon of what happens to characters in movies, yeah I grew up thinking so much happened with these characters.. but nothing from Disney lol
So this was a fun read! I always had this idea of a summer roadtrip / national tournament thing using their flying school bus playing in a league and that hero simulation thing being the game instead of like basketball or whatnot..
Sky High Score
lol
