The Bionic Six are nominated as Crime Solvers of the Year by the Crime Solvers Society. However, the nomination is objected by Irene Hughes, citing that the Bionic Six solve crimes with brawn rather than brains. She challenges the Bionic Six to a competition sponsored by her uncle Mycroft Hughes (a billionaire scientist and fan of Sherlock Holmes). Karate-1 and I.Q. accept, but Scarab and Madame-O crash the party.
