He hatches a plan to become evil enough to join their ranks and together, Gru and the Minions build his first lair, experiment with his first superweapons, and pull off their first dastardly missions. But when a spot on the Vicious 6 opens up, his interview goes terribly awry, and suddenly, Gru finds himself the enemy of the most vicious villains in the world.
