1. I have a theory.
Copy !req
2. You see, Jor-El could've sent
his son to New Genesis.
Copy !req
3. He had allies there,
but on that world,
Copy !req
4. his boy would have
been an orphan,
at the mercy of New Gods.
Copy !req
5. So, instead, Jor-El
chose this world
Copy !req
6. where his son
could be raised
in benign anonymity,
Copy !req
7. before rising
to become a god among men.
Copy !req
8. But where Kal-El, the Superman,
Copy !req
9. failed to take his place
as humanity's god,
Copy !req
10. where he failed to rule
and raise your world
to galactic supremacy,
Copy !req
11. I, General Zod,
will succeed for you all
Copy !req
12. and a new day will
dawn on this world,
Copy !req
13. today, re-christened
as New Krypton,
Copy !req
14. re-christened in the blood
of your failed savior.
Copy !req
15. Superboy. Execute Kal-El now.
Copy !req
16. No.
Copy !req
17. Dick.
Copy !req
18. Sorry, sorry. It's not
as bad as it looks.
Copy !req
19. Although, I guess
it's bad enough.
Copy !req
20. You're hurt.
Copy !req
21. Ah, it's nothing.
My own illusion.
Copy !req
22. I got slapped by a rogue Kryptonian.
Copy !req
23. Might have killed me,
but I rolled with it.
Copy !req
24. And cut yourself
to fake an injury.
Copy !req
25. Forehead bleeds
look bad, but aren't.
Copy !req
26. It's an old
pro-wrestling trick.
Copy !req
27. Then you
slowed your pulse
to fake your death.
Copy !req
28. An old
Batman trick.
Copy !req
29. But how is it you're here
in the first place?
Copy !req
30. Kaldur, Artemis,
Raquel, Zatanna and I
Copy !req
31. were in a place
called the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
32. Searching for Conner.
Copy !req
33. And you followed
the Kryptonians' Boomtube
to Superman's Fortress.
Copy !req
34. - How did you—
- Because We were looking for Conner, too.
Copy !req
35. Ah, right.
But you were attacked
Copy !req
36. by the Emerald Empress
and the Eye of Ekron.
Copy !req
37. Saturn Girl
sent a last-second
psychic warning.
Copy !req
38. Get down!
Copy !req
39. Superman and Orion
rushed forward
Copy !req
40. to take the brunt of the blast,
Copy !req
41. giving Saturn Girl and I
the chance to create
the illusion you saw.
Copy !req
42. Faking your deaths.
Our best trick, one we've
gotten way too good at.
Copy !req
43. Orion,
Lightning, and Forager
were knocked unconscious.
Copy !req
44. While the rest
of you played possum.
Copy !req
45. Except Superman,
Copy !req
46. who stood up
to sell the illusion.
Copy !req
47. Only to be taken
down by the ma'al kryptonite
Copy !req
48. I stupidly brought to the zone.
Copy !req
49. My brother
forced a Motherbox
Copy !req
50. and a horribly abused meta-kid
named Danny Chase
Copy !req
51. to open a Boomtube
to take them all to Metropolis.
Copy !req
52. Metropolis?
Tigress, Zatanna, and Kaldur
just radioed me from there.
Copy !req
53. What about Rocket?
Copy !req
54. She didn't make it.
Copy !req
55. It just gets worse and worse.
Copy !req
56. But we'll have to
mourn Raquel later.
Copy !req
57. Superman, Danny,
and Conner need us.
Copy !req
58. I can set the Prince up
with medical supplies
to tend the wounded.
Copy !req
59. But Forager's
down for the count.
Copy !req
60. As is Bio-Ship. She needs
time to hibernate and heal.
Copy !req
61. But we can take the Fortress's
Zeta-Tube to Metropolis.
Copy !req
62. No-go.
The Zods destroyed it.
Copy !req
63. We won't need it.
Copy !req
64. Kon-El, do your duty.
Copy !req
65. Prove you are worthy
of the Family of Zod.
Copy !req
66. The Family of Zod...
Copy !req
67. - I heard you took a name.
- Uh, yeah. Conner Kent.
Copy !req
68. My secret identity
is Clark Kent.
Copy !req
69. - I didn't know, I wasn't trying to.
- No. The thing is, I'm glad.
Copy !req
70. Conner Kent.
Copy !req
71. It seems right.
Copy !req
72. Conner, these are my parents,
Jonathan and Martha Kent.
Copy !req
73. We're all hoping you'll accept
them as your parents, too.
Copy !req
74. I... I'd like that.
Copy !req
75. Conner, meet your nephew,
Jonathan Samuel Kent.
Copy !req
76. Hey, there, Jonny.
Copy !req
77. I think I'm gonna
like being your uncle.
Copy !req
78. I can't kill him again.
Copy !req
79. He's family.
Copy !req
80. - I told you, Father. You must kill them both.
- I have to concur.
Copy !req
81. Fine.
Copy !req
82. Stay behind me.
Copy !req
83. Yoink!
Copy !req
84. I'll get him.
Copy !req
85. - Jected!
- And the Trogowog magic
Copy !req
86. is holding,
as is yours, Zatanna.
Copy !req
87. Keep at it! - Niatniam Noitativel dna Ytilibisivni Ruomalg!
Copy !req
88. Thank you, baby.
Copy !req
89. I'm so grateful
you came when you heard
your mother's psychic scream.
Copy !req
90. - And I promise you, she'll be okay.
Copy !req
91. We're on a deadline here.
Copy !req
92. The Zods aren't
at full power yet,
Copy !req
93. but once the sun rises,
Copy !req
94. their Kryptonian cells
will charge up fast.
Copy !req
95. If we don't
put them down before that,
Copy !req
96. the whole world's in trouble.
Copy !req
97. I'm looking at you, M'gann.
Copy !req
98. I know you're afraid
of abusing your power,
Copy !req
99. but you're a ball of sunshine
Copy !req
100. hiding a terrifying
demi-goddess.
Copy !req
101. When the time comes,
you can't hold back.
Copy !req
102. We're evacuating
all of Planet Circle.
Copy !req
103. - Keep your heads down.
- Just get me out of here!
Copy !req
104. Come on, this way.
Copy !req
105. The heroes we thought were dead
clearly are not.
Copy !req
106. Reopen the portal to the Zone.
Copy !req
107. I must have my army.
Copy !req
108. Do not fear, Faora.
Copy !req
109. This world's yellow sun energy
will heal you in no time.
Copy !req
110. - Now, report.
- [pants, gasps] Yes, General.
Copy !req
111. Kru-El, Vor-Kil and Jax-Ur
gather your forces.
Copy !req
112. If you maintain this portal,
your army will arrive
within the hour.
Copy !req
113. Excellent.
Copy !req
114. Erif nrub dna Mmoc'm elbbub!
Copy !req
115. Where are these enemies?
Copy !req
116. Here's one.
Copy !req
117. Double yoink.
Copy !req
118. I can't
see you, sorceress,
Copy !req
119. but I can taste your mind.
Copy !req
120. Triple yoink!
Copy !req
121. Kid!
Copy !req
122. Finally, you show your loyalty.
Copy !req
123. This one isn't family.
Kill him.
Copy !req
124. Thanks, Motherbox.
Copy !req
125. I'm okay. - No, you're not.
Copy !req
126. Erif nrub dna Llabeye elbbub!
Copy !req
127. Such a small fire.
Copy !req
128. Time to die, Son of El.
Copy !req
129. Better take this one down
before he goes all super.
Copy !req
130. Right. Before.
Copy !req
131. Keep 'em busy.
Copy !req
132. - Understood.
- Good, I wanted a rematch.
Copy !req
133. General!
Copy !req
134. - No. Not you.
- Yes. Me.
Copy !req
135. Stay back.
You don't understand.
I'm a killer.
Copy !req
136. - I'll hurt you.
- It's not true. Believe me.
Copy !req
137. No matter what horrors
you've been through,
Copy !req
138. I still recognize
your mind touch.
Copy !req
139. And I absolutely know
you could never do me any harm.
Copy !req
140. Conner.
Copy !req
141. Let me show you who you are.
Copy !req
142. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
143. DLEIHS!
Copy !req
144. Guys, this Eye is
magically out of my league.
Copy !req
145. Especially while Mrs. Evil here
Copy !req
146. tries to laser out
my skull.
Copy !req
147. I need to trade dance partners.
Copy !req
148. All right, listen up.
Miss M, run interference.
Copy !req
149. Z, you help Superman.
Copy !req
150. Tigress and I will
handle this bruiser.
Copy !req
151. Kaldur, you keep Zod occupied.
Copy !req
152. Yes, that is my intent.
Copy !req
153. You will die for that.
Copy !req
154. Oreh, Laeh flesyht!
Copy !req
155. Noihsuc ym—
Copy !req
156. You used me, manipulated me.
Copy !req
157. But you also saved me.
Copy !req
158. So, I'm giving you
one chance to stand down.
Copy !req
159. If he expects a Zod
to surrender,
Copy !req
160. he clearly learned nothing
from your time together.
Copy !req
161. I should have respected
your knowledge
Copy !req
162. and my history
with the House of El.
Copy !req
163. So, for the future
of New Krypton...
Copy !req
164. For the future
of Earth...
Copy !req
165. Please don't make me.
Copy !req
166. I love this world.
Copy !req
167. It has made me a god.
Copy !req
168. You want to be a god?
You'll have to go through me.
Copy !req
169. How about picking on
someone your own size?
Copy !req
170. You are too late, human.
Copy !req
171. I already control
the child's mind.
Copy !req
172. - You cannot stop me.
- Depends on how distracted you are.
Copy !req
173. Now, that's what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
174. Kick his evil butt
out of my head.
Copy !req
175. I could. Or you could.
Copy !req
176. Okay, you know
what you have to do?
Copy !req
177. Yes, ma'am, I surely do.
Copy !req
178. Is this how you
show your loyalty
to Krypton, Kon-El?
Copy !req
179. It's how I show
my loyalty to Earth
Copy !req
180. and the people I love.
Copy !req
181. They're good,
but not in sync.
Copy !req
182. Let's go for the combo.
Copy !req
183. Stop trying to kill my man!
Copy !req
184. One Boomtube
to the Phantom Zone
coming right up.
Copy !req
185. - West Maneuver?
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
186. - Miss me?
- Rocket? How?
Copy !req
187. I'll explain later.
Copy !req
188. I will not be cheated
of my reward!
Copy !req
189. Here's your reward.
Copy !req
190. You were glad
Conner was dead.
Copy !req
191. No, no, no!
Copy !req
192. Sorry, General.
Should have waited
for your troops.
Copy !req
193. And you should have
learned on Krypton...
Copy !req
194. Never mess with the Els.
Copy !req
195. Husband!
Copy !req
196. No! Wait. Stop!
Copy !req
197. What happened?
Did the—
Superboy?
Copy !req
198. Are you all right?
Copy !req
199. Fine.
Feeling the aster.
Copy !req
200. So, is it over?
Copy !req
201. - A little bit. Yeah.
- No.
Copy !req
202. Lor-Zod just stole
our last chance to
get home to our era.
Copy !req
203. It's worse than that.
Copy !req
204. With Lor on the loose
in a Time-Sphere,
Copy !req
205. we're right back
where we started.
Copy !req
206. We won the battle,
but not the war.
Copy !req
207. Thanks for asking, Courtney.
Copy !req
208. I'm still on a leave of absence
from both Space Trek
and the Outsiders.
Copy !req
209. But my fans
have been so supportive.
Copy !req
210. And if being open about
my mental health struggles
Copy !req
211. helps even
one of them to seek help,
Copy !req
212. it will all have been worth it.
Copy !req
213. And I also want to welcome
Superboy back to Earth—
Copy !req
214. What did Gar say
about Superboy?
Copy !req
215. His hearing
gets more super every day.
Copy !req
216. Well, son, you remember
what we told you about
Uncle Conner's death?
Copy !req
217. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
218. Well, that was all true,
but we made a mistake
about Conner.
Copy !req
219. He was lost and hurt.
Copy !req
220. - But we found him alive.
- I knew it.
Copy !req
221. Well, uh, we didn't.
Copy !req
222. But we've never been
so glad to be so wrong.
Copy !req
223. Now, would you like
to see Conner again?
Copy !req
224. - It wouldn't scare you?
- No! I mean, yeah, let's see him!
Copy !req
225. Hi, everyone. It's very short notice.
Copy !req
226. But we're determined
to get married right away.
Copy !req
227. You know, before
anything else could go wrong.
Copy !req
228. Black tie optional.
Masks and capes optional.
Copy !req
229. Don't worry. Everyone
invited is in the know.
Copy !req
230. Oh, and no gifts.
Copy !req
231. We'd just love to
have you there
to share our joy.
Copy !req
232. Recognized J'ann-M'orzz-A-Five-Five,
Copy !req
233. M'aatt M'orzz-A-Five-Six.
Copy !req
234. Mom, Dad, welcome to Earth.
Copy !req
235. Oh, we're so excited
to be here, Em'ree.
Copy !req
236. Actually, I've decided
to go back to being
M'ree M'orzz.
Copy !req
237. That's my name. - Oh, M'ree.
Copy !req
238. Dubbilex-E-One-Eight,
Kraig-E-One-Nine.
Copy !req
239. Listen, I've been thinking
about something.
Copy !req
240. I mean, we're all here, together,
Copy !req
241. on a wonderfully happy day.
Copy !req
242. And thank God
it turned out all right.
Copy !req
243. - But what if it hadn't?
- Guardian-E-One-Six...
Copy !req
244. Some of you saw what Garfield
went through this year,
Copy !req
245. - and M'gann,
- Lian-Nguyen-Harper- A-Two-Eight...
Copy !req
246. the struggles that Andie, Violet, Vic, - Brucely-C-Zero-Three...
Copy !req
247. and some of the other kids are facing every day, - Arsenal-B-Two-Five...
Copy !req
248. for that matter,
the struggles
that Cliff and Jay
Copy !req
249. and some of the other adults
are facing every day.
Copy !req
250. Well, to put it simply,
Copy !req
251. we need more than
the all-purpose room at
the Youth Center can provide.
Copy !req
252. We need a place
where our people can
go to escape the Life
Copy !req
253. for a day, a week,
a month. Somewhere safe,
Copy !req
254. somewhere where
they can receive treatment,
Copy !req
255. a Sanctuary.
Copy !req
256. Looker-D-One-Six...
Copy !req
257. - Livewire-D-One-Four...
Copy !req
258. - Mist-B-Three-Seven...
- Garfield, I am truly glad
Copy !req
259. you're getting help
and doing well.
Copy !req
260. And I will always love
and care about you.
Copy !req
261. But I've moved on.
Copy !req
262. You need to move on, too.
Copy !req
263. - You clean up well.
- Especially for a dead guy.
Copy !req
264. We cannot leave
the Kryptonians,
Copy !req
265. even Zod,
in the Phantom Zone forever.
Copy !req
266. - All have served their sentences.
- And then some.
Copy !req
267. I know your hearts
are in the right place.
Copy !req
268. But freeing them
in the 31st century
Copy !req
269. is what caused this mess
in the first place.
Copy !req
270. They were released on Daxam,
and a decade later,
Copy !req
271. were conquering
my home world, Durla.
Copy !req
272. What about Trombus
and its red sun?
Copy !req
273. No sentient
population, no tech.
Copy !req
274. Yes, let them conquer
and build their own world.
Copy !req
275. While the League, the New Gods
and the Green Lantern Corps
keep watch.
Copy !req
276. Then, it is settled.
After the wedding,
Copy !req
277. we return to the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
278. The heroes
won't find a single Kryptonian
in the Zone.
Copy !req
279. Klarion was
surprisingly cooperative.
Copy !req
280. He seemed to enjoy the hunt.
Copy !req
281. And Apokolips required
only one Kryptonian in tribute.
Copy !req
282. Well, one Kryptonian
and Darkseid's pet Martian.
Copy !req
283. Darkseid always keeps his word.
Though Lor-Zod failed,
Copy !req
284. the Ma'alefa'ak did his part.
Copy !req
285. So, here, a pristine world
for the A'ashenn.
Copy !req
286. It will suffice.
Does this planet have a name?
Copy !req
287. - Orphan-B-Three-Six...
- But how did you survive?
Copy !req
288. The Boomtube was collapsing, and I didn't make it out. - Oracle-B-One-Six...
Copy !req
289. But somehow,
my Force-Bubble protected me
Copy !req
290. and I popped up
in Metron's Infinity-Vault
Copy !req
291. where Metron offered
Lor-Zod's repaired Time-Sphere
as my way home.
Copy !req
292. Hmm. I'm surprised Metron was so cooperative. - Spoiler-B-Two-Eight...
Copy !req
293. Surprised me, too. - Robin-D-One-Two...
Copy !req
294. He said it was
in gratitude for past service
Copy !req
295. - and part of some experiment he was running.
- Yes.
Copy !req
296. That sounds more like Metron.
Copy !req
297. But you knew
how to operate this Sphere?
Copy !req
298. Metron pre-set the coordinates,
Copy !req
299. brought me to Metropolis
right on time.
Copy !req
300. I'm just sorry
Lor escaped with it.
Copy !req
301. The controls, they're locked.
Copy !req
302. Damnation.
Where has this machine—
Copy !req
303. Ah. I know exactly where I am
and what I'm being offered.
Copy !req
304. One last opportunity
to truly kill Superboy.
Copy !req
305. But I must hurry!
Copy !req
306. Wait, no!
Copy !req
307. You saved me,
but at a high cost.
Copy !req
308. Still, the war is not over.
Copy !req
309. I swear I will raise this child
Copy !req
310. to wreak vengeance
for the House of Zod.
Copy !req
311. You know we shouldn't be here. The Timestream— - Tempest-E-Zero-Three...
Copy !req
312. Dude, you really gotta start acclimating to the now. - Wyynde-E-One-Five...
Copy !req
313. - Aquaman-Four-Five...
- or not.
Copy !req
314. - Brainy.
- Hello, Legionnaires.
Copy !req
315. I've come to fetch you home.
Copy !req
316. I thought we were too far
out of our old timeline
to ever be rescued.
Copy !req
317. Quite the contrary.
Copy !req
318. I calculate
a 99.84 percent likelihood
Copy !req
319. that the timeline has been
substantially restored.
Copy !req
320. What about the other
point-one-six percent?
Copy !req
321. Just don't go there.
Copy !req
322. Wait, you're leaving?
Copy !req
323. It is long past time.
Copy !req
324. But give Miss Martian our best,
and have a wonderful wedding,
Copy !req
325. a wonderful life.
Copy !req
326. But you never told me.
Why was I so important?
Copy !req
327. You'll see.
Copy !req
328. Don't look at me.
Copy !req
329. All right, everyone,
please take your seats.
We're ready to begin.
Copy !req
330. This is so cool.
Copy !req
331. Gniddew cisum!
Copy !req
332. So, I was the only one
who didn't know
Copy !req
333. my friends are all superheroes.
Copy !req
334. And the reason I didn't know
was because everyone thought
I already knew.
Copy !req
335. Welcome.
Copy !req
336. I think we can all agree
Copy !req
337. that even death can't
part these two.
Copy !req
338. Still, before the next
supervillain attacks,
Copy !req
339. let's get right to the
exchange of vows and rings.
Copy !req
340. I got 'em!
Copy !req
341. M'gann, from the moment we met,
you have been my whole heart.
Copy !req
342. I didn't know how to love,
let alone express that love...
Copy !req
343. until you taught me.
Copy !req
344. With this ring, I promise
Copy !req
345. to love, honor,
Copy !req
346. and cherish you
for all eternity.
Copy !req
347. Conner, I came to Earth with
some pretty messed up notions
Copy !req
348. about what it meant
to be in love.
Copy !req
349. But your purity of spirit
taught me
Copy !req
350. what true love
and commitment really are.
Copy !req
351. With this ring,
I promise
Copy !req
352. to love, honor,
and cherish you
for all eternity.
Copy !req
353. And now,
by the power vested in me
Copy !req
354. by the State of Rhode Island,
Copy !req
355. the website that
ordained me last night,
Copy !req
356. and hopefully with
a blessing of love
and long life
Copy !req
357. from, uh, C'eridy'all...
