Minoriteam Season 1 Full Episode Guide
Series finale. The White Shadow and Minoriteam team up but fail to stop Balactus. Fasto's father's spirit emerges from the can of black-eyed peas and summons 3 other spirits from his home planet, Blackton (destroyed by Balactus), who tell Fasto that he can use his black rage to run faster than light to go back in time and learn the true name of Balactus. He does so and uses that name, "Leslie Ira ...", to impel Balactus to leave Earth just as Balactus is about to destroy it. Fasto goes to the "Projects of Solid-tude", also from the can of black-eyed peas, but they have already suffered urban decay. Special Guest Voice Michael Clarke Duncan.

El Jefe does not appear in the episode because in his normal life as a CEO, he was attending a child's birthday party and in any case would have been able to afford Tremendous Class for himself.
