Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog!"

Answer: Take an Underdog Super Energy Vitamin Pill

Underdog kept his power vitamin in a ring. In some episodes he lost the ring and was unable to acquire his powers until it was found.

Others, however, thought the editing was needed because they beleived Underdog was glorifying drug use by taking the vitamin.
