HEROMAN - S01

In Center City, California, a shy but kindhearted boy named Joseph Carter "Joey" Jones lives with his grandmother and works at a coffee shop. Even though his family struggles with money and he gets bullied at school, he stays cheerful. He loves robots, and what he wants most is a top-of-the-line toy robot called a Heybo. One day, Joey and his friend Simon "Psy" Kaina find a destroyed Heybo that some rich kids threw away. He takes it home and fixes it himself, excitedly naming it Heroman. But one night, Heroman is hit by lightning and comes to life, growing several times its original size. That same night, aliens called the Skrugg attack Center City. Their attention was drawn to Earth after Joey's acquaintance Professor Matthew Denton tried to contact them. Joey and Heroman rush to the scene of the attack, where Heroman finds people in danger, including Joey's friend Lina Davis and her father. Using an arm-mounted controller, Joey can order Heroman to use superpowers to fight off the Skrugg and save civilians. As the aliens keep invading Earth, the two of them are all that stands between humanity and destruction.
