Plot

Anti-Villain League (AVL) agent Gru attends a reunion at his alma mater, Lycée Pas Bon. There, he reunites with his school rival Maxime Le Mal, who harbors a grudge towards Gru for stealing his talent show act, singing "Karma Chameleon", when they were in school. Maxime reveals he has enhanced himself into a cockroach hybrid, making himself superpowered, and plans to conquer the world, but Gru and the AVL arrest him. Maxime escapes from the AVL prison the next day with the help of his girlfriend Valentina. He develops a ray gun invention that turns people into human-roach hybrids, which he plans to specifically use on Gru's infant son Gru Jr, as revenge.
