With MAX’s help, Dax begins to uncover the secret of “Power Thinking” and the strength of his Inner Super Powers (I. S. P.). But can Dax truly conquer the Blobs, or will they prove to be too much to overcome? It’s an epic battle of Positive vs. Negative thinking. Who—or what—will win! Join Dax, MAX, and their colorful crew in a thrilling quest to discover the superhero that lies within!
