    good, but a sequel should have super-powered villain
    I really like'd this. I suspect that they are mutants since, 1.They have super powers without an explination, 2.You can't have powers after 14, most mutants get theur powers around 12 or 13. I loved the villain but he should've had a codename, but the sequel should have a villain with powers(I think they should get their powers by acciendent and the movie be their origin story).
