Misfits Season 5: 5 Greatest Moments From The Show So Far

4. Simon Becomes 'Superhoodie'

Misfits Superhoody After buying the "power of foresight" from Seth, Simon begins his transformation from quiet and shy to "Superhoodie", a vigilante who doles out his unique brand of justice. With his new-found ability to see into the future, and after acquiring the power of time travel, Future Simon goes back in time as Superhoodie to protect and fall in love with Alisha, and later, in one of the most heroic scenes from Misfits, takes a bullet for her and dies. But that's not the end of this (admittedly complex) storyline, as Alisha falls in love with Past Simon, who is training to be Superhoodie, but is later killed by a box-cutter, causing Future Simon to again go back in time to save her, repeating the process eternally. It's all very confusing. We think Rudy explains it best:
"Right, so hang on. So he's gonna go back in time, he's gonna fall in love with Alisha, and then she dies, and they're gonna be stuck doing it over and over and over again for all eternity?"
Something like that.
