Plot
In the episode, Homer discovers that a new television show, Police Cops, has a hero also named Homer Simpson. He is delighted with the positive attention he receives because of his name, but when the television character is rewritten from a hero to a bumbling idiot, he is mocked and taunted, so he changes his name to “Max Power” to rid himself of the negative attention. Max gains new friends, and is forced into a protest to prevent a forest from being knocked down.
