Megamind, Will Ferrell, a intelligent alien, was sent to earth as a child by his parents before their planet was destroyed by a black hole. He arrived at the same time as another alien child who later was to be known as Metro Man, Brad Pitt. The two infants had different fates therefore to be destined to battle throughout life with one another. Metro Man was raised in luxury and became Metro City's superhero protector, while Megamind grew up in a prison and became a super villain assisted by his piranha-like sidekick Minion, David Cross. The two have since battled for years to the present day, Metro Man always getting the upper hand.
