Plot

Max takes Ben to make it a military haircut. Ben transforms into Diamondhead prior to arrival in order to try avoid cuts, but they wait until he reverts back before he arrives there.

Once arrived, the family meets Louie, the eccentric barber. Once sitting down, the hairdresser ties them each to their seats, and reveals to have a bionic hand with integrated blades.

Talking to his hand, Luigi, as if it were a person, the barber tries to attack Gwen before Max is able to kick him from his chair.

After slicing Ben's bonds as he lurches towards Max, Louie turns round to the flash of green to see Ben has transformed into Wildmutt. Using his quills to slice Gwen and Max's hands free, the family pins him to the wall and disarms him.
