Super Crooks (2021 Netflix)
Johnny Lightning is a supervillain who is relentlessly trying to make money by doing robberies in league with other masked criminals like him. Systematically each of their shots fails due to the intervention of the superhero who manages to defeat them. In his latest robbery he is stopped without problems by the superhero The Gladiator and is sentenced to 5 years in prison. After exiting he returns to his ex-girlfriend and ex-supervillain Kasey who now works as a waitress. Despite having psychic powers, she now wants to lead a normal life and doesn't want Johnny back in her life. During their meeting, an elderly supervillain friend of theirs named Carmine also arriveswho finds himself forced to raise $100 million to give to a Las Vegas casino because he was caught cheating paired with a guy with foresight. Johnny has a new plan to make a lot of money and that is to change country from the United States to one where there are not hundreds of superheroes who then in the end always win by making theirs triumph.
The chosen country is Spain, which apparently does not have superheroes and is the ideal country to implement the Lightning plan. He manages to convince many of his fellow supervillains, some of whom are not even active anymore. The group consists of Carmine, Kasey, The Phantom (no longer active burglar), TK McCabe (ex-supervillain with telekinesis powers), Forecast (ex-supervillain able to change the weather), Roddy and Sammy Diesel (two semi-indestructible wrestlers fighting clandestine matches). After arriving in Tenerife, Johnny manages to surprise another element in his group of criminals, it is the superhero The Gladiator. He is blackmailed as a homosexual and a frequenter of men he met online to whom he often sends erotic photos of himself. If this news were fed to the newspapers, his reputation as a great American superhero would be ruined. At this point Johnny reveals what his plan is and why they are in Spain. His goal is to rob the greatest supervillain of all time who is on the Iberian Peninsula enjoying a golden pension, unpunished for all his crimes. His name (or perhaps nickname) is simply Il Bastardo and freezes the blood of anyone who knows his cruelty and his criminal deeds.
With the help of all the members of the gang, Johnny manages to break into the safe under the villa of the Bastard and robs him of a briefcase that contains values for 800 million dollars, 100 each at the end of the heist. To keep the supervillain at bay, Kesey thinks about it with his psychic powers which creates the illusion of being in his residence when in reality he is in another place. As for his bodyguard with superman superpowers, the Gladiator takes care of him, beating him in a duel making him brain-damaged. To avoid retaliation by the Bastard, the gang ofSupercrooks carries out the robbery wearing the costumes of the supervillains to whom Carmine owed money, who are then tracked down and killed by the criminal boss, furious for the wrong suffered. On the other hand, Johnny's reasoning is simple: why put on your own costume (and therefore make yourself recognizable) when you can use someone else's, thus changing your identity?
