Here at the Zoom Academy, you’ll be trained by a goateed Tim Allen to use your mutant powers for…playing baseball…getting paintballs shot at you…using a UFO to go pick up some food at Wendy’s…electrocuting Chevy Chase with lightning…uhh, look, I’m not gonna lie, the Zoom Academy has gone through some pretty drastic budget cuts.
