Plot Summary
Supervillain Megamind and his polar opposite, superhero Metro Man, are extraterrestrials of different species who were both independently sent to Earth as infants before a black hole destroyed their planets. Though both land in Metro City simultaneously, Metro Man is raised in a rich mansion and Megamind in a prison. At the school they attend, Metro Man is well-liked by his classmates, while Megamind is relentlessly bullied until he reaches his breaking point, setting off a rivalry between him and Metro Man. Over the years, Megamind and his fish-like assistant and best friend Minion frequently and unsuccessfully battle Metro Man for control of the city.
On the day of the new Metro Man Museum’s grand opening, Megamind escapes prison, kidnaps news reporter Roxanne Ritchi, and lures Metro Man to an abandoned observatory to rescue her. Megamind blasts him with a sun-powered death ray; Metro Man is unable to escape, having stated that the copper-lined observatory roof weakens his powers. Overjoyed, Megamind takes over the city and executes a crime spree, but eventually becomes depressed and purposeless without Metro Man to oppose him. Megamind decides to blow up the Metro Man Museum to forget the hero, but sees Roxanne is also there; as he runs, he dehydrates the museum’s curator, Bernard, turning him into a small cube.
Disguised as Bernard using hologram technology, Megamind talks to Roxanne, whose remarks inspire him to use Metro Man’s DNA to create a new superhero to fight. Megamind perfects the formula, but during a fight between him and Roxanne in his lair, he accidentally injects it into Hal Stewart, Roxanne’s cameraman who is infatuated with her. Disguising himself via hologram as Hal’s “Space Dad”, Megamind trains Hal to become a superhero. Hal, seeing this as a chance to win Roxanne’s heart, accepts and takes on the name “Titan”.
