1. Jim. Hold on.Copy !req
2. I have an antitoxin.Copy !req
3. Damn that bastard.Copy !req
4. Jim...Copy !req
5. You were a...Copy !req
6. diversion.Copy !req
7. Ugh. Missed.Copy !req
8. Ooh, I know
what you're thinking, Batsy.Copy !req
9. What a waste.Copy !req
10. Uh, 'fraid not.Copy !req
11. Evidently, there's plenty more
Commissioner Gordons where that came from.Copy !req
12. Do be a dearCopy !req
13. and take care of this noise.Copy !req
14. I can't hear myself think.Copy !req
15. Huh?Copy !req
16. Bats, I think you know
Solomon Grundy.Copy !req
17. This is Killer Crock.
Have you met him?Copy !req
18. So many Earths.Copy !req
19. How does one even keep track?Copy !req
20. Quiet, please. Aiming here.Copy !req
21. Oh, for crying out loud.Copy !req
22. Don't make me come over there.Copy !req
23. Shoot that tower, Joker,Copy !req
24. and the whole planet dies.Copy !req
25. You see,
that's what everybody says.Copy !req
26. But how am I supposed to know
that's true unless I pull the trigger?Copy !req
27. Boom.Copy !req
28. Ahh!Copy !req
29. I told you to stay out of this.Copy !req
30. The hilt would have
hit his head.Copy !req
31. We're not killers.Copy !req
32. You trained us well.
We know what we're doing.Copy !req
33. I didn't train you.Copy !req
34. You needed help.Copy !req
35. When the Justice Society was
assigned to search for The Flash—Copy !req
36. I'm the one
who gave them the assignment.Copy !req
37. A wild goose chase.Copy !req
38. The Flash is dead.Copy !req
39. He's missing.Copy !req
40. There were no witnesses.
No body.Copy !req
41. The last thing I needed
were a bunch of dilettantesCopy !req
42. and senior citizens
getting in my way.Copy !req
43. This isn't even your Earth.Copy !req
44. It's the Earth whose tower
is in the middle of Gotham.Copy !req
45. That makes it my world.Copy !req
46. And I work alone.Copy !req
47. Who died and made you king?Copy !req
48. Everyone on Earth-3.Copy !req
49. Well, this is getting awkward.Copy !req
50. I've seen my share of doctors
in my day,Copy !req
51. but I've never had one
give me the silent treatment.Copy !req
52. Perhaps this is a new technique,Copy !req
53. a subtle attempt to draw me out.Copy !req
54. Get me talking.
Is that the idea?Copy !req
55. Fine.Copy !req
56. I know all about this process.Copy !req
57. Psychoanalysis.Copy !req
58. It all started 25 years ago
in the English countryside.Copy !req
59. I was a perfectly ordinary boy
named Charles Halstead.Copy !req
60. Well, nearly ordinary.Copy !req
61. I was very solitary.
Loved books.Copy !req
62. Treasure Island, Blackbeard.
"Avast ye, matey," that sort of thing.Copy !req
63. Hated other children.Copy !req
64. Gave me a thumping headache.Copy !req
65. - Honestly, adults, too.
- Take him inside!Copy !req
66. I'm not a mind reader.Copy !req
67. More like an emotion reader.Copy !req
68. A hyper empath.Copy !req
69. I feel what you're feeling.Copy !req
70. It's horrible.Copy !req
71. The more people,Copy !req
72. the more emotions, more pain.Copy !req
73. My mind seemed to amplifyCopy !req
74. whatever emotions came my wayCopy !req
75. before sending them back out.Copy !req
76. A kind of feedback loop
would emerge.Copy !req
77. My parents harbored no
more hatred for one anotherCopy !req
78. - than any other married couple.Copy !req
79. Until I drew it out of them.Copy !req
80. I'm sure most childrenCopy !req
81. seeing their parents
trying to murder one anotherCopy !req
82. would have felt
just the way I did.Copy !req
83. Like it was
the end of the world.Copy !req
84. Satellite.Copy !req
85. A small piece of debris
from Krypton, Monitor.Copy !req
86. It is so small
I hardly noticed it.Copy !req
87. There is no damage
to the shield.Copy !req
88. Debris?Copy !req
89. Debris, apparently containingCopy !req
90. an adolescent Kryptonian
female, presently suffocating.Copy !req
91. Satellite, I find
the death of this creature...Copy !req
92. distracting.Copy !req
93. Ten billion Kryptonians
are dead or soon will be.Copy !req
94. You have witnessed untold
galactic extinctions.Copy !req
95. Why does this
disturb you, Monitor?Copy !req
96. I prefer my task
of chronicling all phenomenaCopy !req
97. from a distance.Copy !req
98. Please remove it.Copy !req
99. What have you done?Copy !req
100. Bringing it aboard
was the only wayCopy !req
101. to ensure
it wouldn't block your view.Copy !req
102. Rest assured,Copy !req
103. she will soon expire
from her radiation exposure.Copy !req
104. It cannot die on the Satellite.Copy !req
105. That would be intolerable.Copy !req
106. You know what must be done.Copy !req
107. My parents didn't quite
manage to kill one another,Copy !req
108. but they'd had enough of me.Copy !req
109. Their solution
was typically British.Copy !req
110. Boarding school,Copy !req
111. in Bavaria, no less.Copy !req
112. No sense taking any chances.Copy !req
113. As you can imagine,Copy !req
114. the effortless viciousness
of 100 adolescent boysCopy !req
115. greatly acerbated my condition.Copy !req
116. Things were often strained.Copy !req
117. My classmates took notice of me
to such a degreeCopy !req
118. that they gave me a nickname,Copy !req
119. perhaps because
I wouldn't give themCopy !req
120. the satisfaction
of hearing me scream.Copy !req
121. You must eat something.Copy !req
122. This nutrient
is an exact replicaCopy !req
123. of a popular dish
on your home world.Copy !req
124. What's wrong with it?Copy !req
125. On top of
the radiation poisoningCopy !req
126. and near-death experience,Copy !req
127. she has witnessed the
annihilation of her species,Copy !req
128. and lost everyone
she has ever known.Copy !req
129. She also has a cranial contusionCopy !req
130. from her impact
with the pod door.Copy !req
131. Perhaps if you ate with her,
it would stir a sense memory.Copy !req
132. Or, if you prefer, we could
just eject her out an airlock.Copy !req
133. I have not absorbed energy in
this manner in 100 million years.Copy !req
134. Would you like a napkin, sir?Copy !req
135. The inexorable abuseCopy !req
136. did procure
an unintended boon for me.Copy !req
137. I began learning how to...Copy !req
138. control my power.Copy !req
139. Needs must
when the devil drives.Copy !req
140. I discovered most human action
is dictated by emotion.Copy !req
141. Not reason, not altruism,Copy !req
142. not even self-preservation.Copy !req
143. A vain, transitory feelingCopy !req
144. overrides them all.Copy !req
145. Little by little,
I took over the entire school,Copy !req
146. bending it to my whims.Copy !req
147. I learned, the painful cacophonyCopy !req
148. of so many people's conflicting
emotions can be alleviatedCopy !req
149. by everyone feeling
the same emotion.Copy !req
150. Where am I?Copy !req
151. You are on a Monitor Satellite,Copy !req
152. a quasi-sentient craftCopy !req
153. existing outside...Copy !req
154. normal timespace,Copy !req
155. designed to facilitate
observation and documentationCopy !req
156. of celestial events.Copy !req
157. What are you?Copy !req
158. I am the Monitor
assigned to this craft.Copy !req
159. Who am I?Copy !req
160. You're Kara Zor-El
of the planet Krypton.Copy !req
161. That's my home?Copy !req
162. Yes.Copy !req
163. Can I go home now?Copy !req
164. Not right now, Kara.Copy !req
165. I need your help here
on the Satellite.Copy !req
166. But can I go home later?Copy !req
167. Perhaps, child...Copy !req
168. when our job here is finished.Copy !req
169. Who are you?Copy !req
170. I am Mar Novu.
I am a Monitor.Copy !req
171. A race of beings ancient
beyond your comprehension.Copy !req
172. We observe and record
all events in this universeCopy !req
173. and those surrounding it.Copy !req
174. We bear witness but are
forsworn never to interfere.Copy !req
175. Why?Copy !req
176. Because...Copy !req
177. We are Monitors.Copy !req
178. Isn't my desire the timeless
humanitarian dream, Doctor?Copy !req
179. Unity and equality.Copy !req
180. All people feel what I feel,
all the time.Copy !req
181. Paradise.Copy !req
182. Well, by that time, the Third
Reich had risen to power,Copy !req
183. even in our tiny village.Copy !req
184. So, when no word had come
from the school for some time,Copy !req
185. the police were sent
to investigate.Copy !req
186. They were not
adequately prepared.Copy !req
187. Monitor, are you in here?Copy !req
188. He is not here, Kara.Copy !req
189. And neither should you be.Copy !req
190. What is this place, Satellite?Copy !req
191. The hangar deck. There is really
nothing in here to interest you.Copy !req
192. I'm sure it is time
to continue your lessons, Kara.Copy !req
193. Your understanding of the
structure of the MultiverseCopy !req
194. is quite lacking.Copy !req
195. I... I know this object.Copy !req
196. Kara, please come away.Copy !req
197. And it seems to know me.Copy !req
198. This brought me here.Copy !req
199. From... Krypton.Copy !req
200. Oh, it's beautiful.Copy !req
201. I remember my mother, my father.Copy !req
202. I wanna go there. Now.Copy !req
203. Take me back to Krypton.Copy !req
204. Unable to comply.Copy !req
205. Krypton is no longer
a viable destination.Copy !req
206. I like Nazis.Copy !req
207. They're already so brainwashed,Copy !req
208. it's child's play for me
to control them.Copy !req
209. I barely had to.Copy !req
210. Hate and fear are easy.Copy !req
211. But affection, admiration,Copy !req
212. those are more difficult.Copy !req
213. I must say it took some effort
to manipulate the KriegsmarineCopy !req
214. to offer me a commission as
captain of a merchant raider.Copy !req
215. These were German ships,Copy !req
216. disguised to look like
freighters and fly neutral colors.Copy !req
217. We'd signal "Mayday"
to Allied ships,Copy !req
218. and when their would-be
rescuers got close enough...Copy !req
219. Surprise.Copy !req
220. We'd blow them to pieces,Copy !req
221. Or if they surrendered,Copy !req
222. we'd relieve them
of their cargo,Copy !req
223. then blow them to pieces.Copy !req
224. I'd amuse my crew by having
the enemy cheer happily for usCopy !req
225. as they sunk into the Atlantic.Copy !req
226. Long live the Third Reich.Copy !req
227. Victory to Germany.Copy !req
228. At last, I was the pirateCopy !req
229. I'd always wanted to be
as a child.Copy !req
230. It was too good to last.Copy !req
231. It was the end.
Nothing could save me.Copy !req
232. Frankly, I was
enjoying the silence,Copy !req
233. but I reached out with my mind
one last time.Copy !req
234. Just in case.Copy !req
235. That was one
of the few times in my lifeCopy !req
236. when I was actually surprised.Copy !req
237. Honestly, it was much harder
with him than the others.Copy !req
238. The Sea King's mental defenses
are stronger than you'd think,Copy !req
239. for a man with gills.Copy !req
240. But inevitably...Copy !req
241. well...Copy !req
242. everyone is a disappointment.Copy !req
243. You are late for nutrition,Copy !req
244. and you completely forgot your
Chronal Displacement Physics class.Copy !req
245. You must learn self-discipline
if you are to...Copy !req
246. You lied!Copy !req
247. I remember everything.Copy !req
248. You could have stopped it,
or at least saved millions.Copy !req
249. But you did nothing!Copy !req
250. Non-interference has been
sacrosanct to my raceCopy !req
251. since before your sun existed.Copy !req
252. You said you'd bring me home.Copy !req
253. I have no home. You just kept
me here like a zoo specimen.Copy !req
254. We made a home for you.Copy !req
255. A cage!Copy !req
256. "Come see
the last living Kryptonian."Copy !req
257. You are not the last Kryptonian
in this reality.Copy !req
258. There is another.Copy !req
259. On this world
of savage primitives.Copy !req
260. They are like you,
only superficially.Copy !req
261. I don't know how
your kinsman bears it.Copy !req
262. Kinsman?Copy !req
263. Kal-El is your cousin.Copy !req
264. Kal-El is alive?Copy !req
265. And you kept me here for...Copy !req
266. I don't even know! How long
have I been a prisoner here?Copy !req
267. The Satellite exists in many
universes simultaneously.Copy !req
268. Time as you know it
has no meaning here,Copy !req
269. and you are not a prisoner.Copy !req
270. I'm through waiting and watchingCopy !req
271. and doing nothing.Copy !req
272. I'm the opposite of you,
and I'm going to do something.Copy !req
273. It is forbidden to interfere.Copy !req
274. Just watch me.Copy !req
275. From there,
it was a simple thingCopy !req
276. to create an alliance between
Atlantis and the Third Reich.Copy !req
277. But I must be boring you
to tears, Doctor.Copy !req
278. Forgive me.Copy !req
279. After all,Copy !req
280. it was you who invited me here.Copy !req
281. You have something for me.Copy !req
282. That's what they tell me,
at any rate. So, please...Copy !req
283. Speak up.Copy !req
284. Not in the mood to talk?Copy !req
285. Well, you soon will be.Copy !req
286. Clearly your mind is too
far gone for me to reach you.Copy !req
287. There's nothing left.Copy !req
288. Did you say something?Copy !req
289. Oh, it's you.Copy !req
290. Sorry. I was worlds away.Copy !req
291. That won't work.Copy !req
292. There are too many of me.Copy !req
293. Here, there,Copy !req
294. and, oh, so many
other realities.Copy !req
295. Simultaneously.Copy !req
296. People think I'm mad.Copy !req
297. In reality,
I show extraordinary focus.Copy !req
298. Come now, Charles.Copy !req
299. Ensura moro fortuna...Copy !req
300. Is that any way for the mighty
Psycho Pirate to behave?Copy !req
301. Especially since
I'm about to give you a gift.Copy !req
302. The ability to travel
between realities.Copy !req
303. Come closer.Copy !req
304. Stay back.Copy !req
305. I don't want it.
I don't want it.Copy !req
306. You shall have it all the same.Copy !req
307. You have a role to play
in the Crisis to come.Copy !req
308. Guard. Guard!Copy !req
309. Open this door!Copy !req
310. Get me out of here now!Copy !req
311. Another universe lost.Copy !req
312. The Antimatter wave shows
no sign of weakening or slowing.Copy !req
313. In fact, as it jumps
between realities,Copy !req
314. its power increases by...Copy !req
315. Satellite.Copy !req
316. Is the destruction
of all universes boring you?Copy !req
317. Checking in on Kara again?Copy !req
318. She is
a remarkable being, Monitor.Copy !req
319. And we are tasked to observe.Copy !req
320. All significant events,
Satellite.Copy !req
321. This is significant.Copy !req
322. She fights against Brainiac's
attempt to remake this universe.Copy !req
323. Brainiac possesses
the Miracle Machine.Copy !req
324. And employs the Dark Circle.Copy !req
325. Her task is hopeless.Copy !req
326. And yet, she fights on.Copy !req
327. Despite the impossible odds.Copy !req
328. Yes.Copy !req
329. Yes, she does.Copy !req
330. It is almost...Copy !req
331. admirable.Copy !req
332. It seems
Kara has beaten the odds.Copy !req
333. Kal-El?Copy !req
334. Kara.Copy !req
335. Satellite? What are you—Copy !req
336. I'm sorry, Kara.Copy !req
337. You!Copy !req
338. Kara, this display
is beneath you.Copy !req
339. You know Monitor shields
are impervious to any attack.Copy !req
340. Then I'll just have to tear the
ship apart with my bare hands.Copy !req
341. Please don't.Copy !req
342. I almost convinced myself
this was all a bad dream.Copy !req
343. But here you are,Copy !req
344. snatching me away from my
new world right in the middle of...Copy !req
345. You returned
to this world's 21st centuryCopy !req
346. to search for your missing
loved one, Kal-EL,Copy !req
347. and the human known as Batman.Copy !req
348. What do you know about this?
Did you abduct them too?Copy !req
349. We have taken no one,Copy !req
350. but Monitor knows
where they are.Copy !req
351. Kara, your friendsCopy !req
352. and all life-forms are in
mortal peril beyond imagining.Copy !req
353. But perhaps
there is something we can do.Copy !req
354. And your people, the
Monitors, they can't stop it?Copy !req
355. They will not.Copy !req
356. They simply watchCopy !req
357. as the antimatter wave
obliterates all existence,Copy !req
358. even their own.Copy !req
359. Do you think this plan of yours
has a chance of succeeding?Copy !req
360. Logically? No.Copy !req
361. But you have proven to me
that only by taking actionCopy !req
362. can one transform
doom into salvation.Copy !req
363. Are you ready?Copy !req
364. Giving me a portion
of your life-force energy...Copy !req
365. You sure this is necessary?Copy !req
366. Since meeting you, I have
learned to be certain of nothing.Copy !req
367. I do know...Copy !req
368. this is dangerous.Copy !req
369. Then hit it.Copy !req
370. Fatem bene disit vi sum...Copy !req
371. Well that, I suppose, is that.Copy !req
372. Charles Halstead, originally
of Earth-2. You are needed.Copy !req
373. Am I? I see.Copy !req
374. And who might you be?Copy !req
375. I am a Harbinger of the
destruction of your world.Copy !req
376. I have been sent to gather
the Earth's greatest champions.Copy !req
377. I think you've come
to the wrong place.Copy !req
378. I know of your ability
to move between realities.Copy !req
379. You've traveled to many Earths
trying to remake them in your image,Copy !req
380. but you always fail.Copy !req
381. Well...Copy !req
382. Try, try again.Copy !req
383. Fatem bene disit vi sum...Copy !req
384. The neighboring universe
has been obliterated.Copy !req
385. Soon all realities will end,Copy !req
386. and you will have nothing
to rule over.Copy !req
387. The Monitor can help.Copy !req
388. You begin to intrigue me.
Who is this Monitor?Copy !req
389. He is the only entity
in the known universeCopy !req
390. with the knowledge and desire
to save all realities.Copy !req
391. Is he indeed?Copy !req
392. I hope so.Copy !req
393. For all our sakes.Copy !req
394. - Earth-21, all clear.
- Earth-18, all...Copy !req
395. Wait a minute.Copy !req
396. I've got contact.Copy !req
397. Can you confirm, Earth-18?Copy !req
398. It's on the very edge
of my vision, but...Copy !req
399. Yes, confirmed.
Buckle up, everybody.Copy !req
400. Monitor Satellite to all Earths.Copy !req
401. Condition red. Antimatter wave
sighted in Earth-18 universe.Copy !req
402. Power up all towers.Copy !req
403. Begin planetary phasing.Copy !req
404. Good work, Clark.Copy !req
405. Now get out of there.Copy !req
406. The old Kryptonian vision
ain't what it used to be.Copy !req
407. It still gets the job done,
my love.Copy !req
408. Now, please,
fall back to Earth-18.Copy !req
409. Tower zero at maximum power.Copy !req
410. All tower receivers
operational, Mr. Terrific.Copy !req
411. Thank you, Dr. Hoshi.Copy !req
412. And it's just Michael.Copy !req
413. Wave accelerating.
Brace for impact, Tower 4.Copy !req
414. All other towers,
increase power.Copy !req
415. Once Earth-18 phases,
it's coming for you next.Copy !req
416. God, help us all.Copy !req
417. Satellite, this is Earth-17.Copy !req
418. Our tower is overheating again.
I could use some backup.Copy !req
419. Understood, Superman.
Dispatching now.Copy !req
420. You're needed.Copy !req
421. Kara?Copy !req
422. Kara!Copy !req
423. Please step into
the trans-mat chamber.Copy !req
424. Kara! Little help here?Copy !req
425. Okay, Kara. Hit it.Copy !req
426. Thanks, Superman.Copy !req
427. We really don't have
the infrastructureCopy !req
428. to take care
of something like this.Copy !req
429. Hey, you guys do a great job
considering your situation here.Copy !req
430. I'd better help them replace
those coolant conduitsCopy !req
431. before the next one hits.Copy !req
432. Farewell.Copy !req
433. Cheer up. We did it.
Everyone made it.Copy !req
434. Hooray.Copy !req
435. We saved
radioactive cinder Earth.Copy !req
436. At least until the next
antimatter wave, anyway.Copy !req
437. Live it up, Atomic Knights.Copy !req
438. Hey, I get that
this isn't easy for you.Copy !req
439. Brainy is dead.Copy !req
440. Dawnstar dissolved in my arms.Copy !req
441. You don't even remember Krypton.Copy !req
442. I lost my whole world.Copy !req
443. And now I get a new home.Copy !req
444. Gone! No, worse.
They never existed!Copy !req
445. They never will exist!Copy !req
446. I see you were successful.Copy !req
447. Prepare for trans-mat back to
the Satellite for redeployment.Copy !req
448. He just watched, you know?Copy !req
449. My adopted father just stood
there and watched Krypton explode.Copy !req
450. He saved you.Copy !req
451. I was blocking his view.Copy !req
452. No. No, no, no, not here.Copy !req
453. Kamandi to Satellite.Copy !req
454. There's been a mistake. You
sent me back to my Earth. I told you.Copy !req
455. I'm sorry, Kamandi.Copy !req
456. I know you hate it there, but
there are some relays on that towerCopy !req
457. that need to be replaced,Copy !req
458. and you're the only one who knows
about post-Great Disaster Earth.Copy !req
459. You don't know
what it's like here.Copy !req
460. I'm alone. The last boy
on Earth. The last human.Copy !req
461. Not this time, son.Copy !req
462. We've sent a specialist
who can help you.Copy !req
463. Superman out.Copy !req
464. I think he means me.Copy !req
465. No!Copy !req
466. Easy there, young one.Copy !req
467. I can't die like this.Copy !req
468. You don't know me.Copy !req
469. I'm Solovar of Gorilla City
on Earth-1.Copy !req
470. And I know what it means
to be in the minority.Copy !req
471. Liar.Copy !req
472. Your kind have been
hunting me all my life.Copy !req
473. Taught me to run, hide...Copy !req
474. survive!Copy !req
475. Learn one more thing, then.Copy !req
476. To trust.Copy !req
477. That's it, please! I'm done.Copy !req
478. I can't... I can't do any more.Copy !req
479. You're the only one
who can do it.Copy !req
480. Without you broadcasting
calm and confidence,Copy !req
481. there would be panic and chaos
on all the surviving Earths.Copy !req
482. It's too hard.Copy !req
483. Warmth.Copy !req
484. Compassion, caring.Copy !req
485. They're too complex,
even with this amplifier.Copy !req
486. I'm sorry.Copy !req
487. I don't have enough power
to influence that many people.Copy !req
488. But...Copy !req
489. Uh, no, no, never mind.
It's impossible.Copy !req
490. What?Copy !req
491. It's clear that you possess
almost unfathomable power.Copy !req
492. Grant me even a fraction of it,Copy !req
493. I could help so many
on all the various Earths.Copy !req
494. But it's impossible.Copy !req
495. Impossible, why?Copy !req
496. My past is an open book to you.Copy !req
497. Trusting me would be
the height of folly.Copy !req
498. Learning to trust was the
beginning of wisdom for me.Copy !req
499. What are you doing?Copy !req
500. Incredible.Copy !req
501. The power.Copy !req
502. Mar Novu... why?Copy !req
503. I am very old, Charles.Copy !req
504. But I am only now
beginning to understandCopy !req
505. that knowledge
is nearly useless...Copy !req
506. without a degree of faith.Copy !req
507. Okay. Let's review
what little we do know.Copy !req
508. Oh, come on.Copy !req
509. - We've been over this.
- Ugh. Right.Copy !req
510. One, what we originally
thought was a one-time threat,Copy !req
511. an antimatter tsunami,Copy !req
512. turned out to be an ongoing
storm with multiple waves.Copy !req
513. The waves can change
in speed, intensity,Copy !req
514. and arrive without
any predictable pattern.Copy !req
515. Exactly the way waves don't act.Copy !req
516. Uncharacteristic behavior leads
to many uncomfortable questions.Copy !req
517. During the Gordanian War,Copy !req
518. Thanagarian prisoners were
awoken by their captors at all hoursCopy !req
519. as a method of torture.Copy !req
520. Torture implies a torturer.Copy !req
521. Are you saying this isn't a
cosmic natural phenomenon,Copy !req
522. but an attack
by some sentient being?Copy !req
523. That's ridiculous.Copy !req
524. Just because an answer is
ludicrous doesn't mean it isn't correct.Copy !req
525. Maybe in your world, weirdo.Copy !req
526. Who invited Conspiracy Guy
here anyway?Copy !req
527. I'm sticking my tongue out
at you.Copy !req
528. - He's weird, but often right.
- We're wasting time.Copy !req
529. I bet you read
Ayn Rand unironically.Copy !req
530. Can everybody focus here?Copy !req
531. All your worlds are in jeopardy,Copy !req
532. and questions
are not only welcome,Copy !req
533. but necessary
to the scientific method.Copy !req
534. The fact remains
that whatever the source,Copy !req
535. these attacks continue to come in
all universes to each of the Earths.Copy !req
536. And it's only a matter of time
before one of our towers gives out.Copy !req
537. Eventually, they all will.Copy !req
538. Everything ends... forever.Copy !req
539. Since we don't know the source,
we can't attack it.Copy !req
540. The only other option is escape.Copy !req
541. And there's nowhere to go.Copy !req
542. You might just
have something there.Copy !req
543. Escape to nowhere.Copy !req
544. There's a theoretical dimension
called Netherspace.Copy !req
545. What if we use the towers to
broadcast your transmatter beamCopy !req
546. to move all the Earths there?Copy !req
547. A commendable idea.Copy !req
548. Unfortunately,Copy !req
549. the power required to move
those worlds would be...Copy !req
550. nearly incalculable.Copy !req
551. You're not fooling anyone.Copy !req
552. Oh, hello.Copy !req
553. I know exactly who you are,
Doctor Spectro.Copy !req
554. That was a lifetime ago.Copy !req
555. I have been known on many different
worlds by many different names.Copy !req
556. I try to match
the name to the world.Copy !req
557. "Spectro."Copy !req
558. A ridiculous name
for your ridiculous world.Copy !req
559. I was Rainbow Warrior
on another.Copy !req
560. Told them my real name
was Roy G. Bivolo.Copy !req
561. Like the rainbow?Copy !req
562. Red, orange, yellow...Copy !req
563. Nobody gets it.Copy !req
564. You can't charm your way
out of this, Doctor.Copy !req
565. I'm gonna let everyone know that
you're a dangerous criminal sociopath.Copy !req
566. Sociopath?Copy !req
567. You'd need a proper diagnosis
from a professional for that.Copy !req
568. Besides...Copy !req
569. You like me.Copy !req
570. You know your powers
won't work on me, Spectro.Copy !req
571. My will is...Copy !req
572. too strong.Copy !req
573. My continued existence,
painful as it is,Copy !req
574. is my primary impulse.Copy !req
575. Simply speaking,Copy !req
576. I have no choice but to
help you save the universe.Copy !req
577. What... what's happening to me?Copy !req
578. Beetle, do something!Copy !req
579. Spectro?Copy !req
580. I always liked that guy.Copy !req
581. - Satellite, this is Earth-19.Copy !req
582. I have a visual on the anomaly.Copy !req
583. This is the shortest period
between waves we've experienced.Copy !req
584. - Is this a confirmed sighting, Hawkman?
—No question.Copy !req
585. In fact, the light seems
to be brighter than before.Copy !req
586. Brighter? I don't like it.Copy !req
587. These waves
are already inconsistent.Copy !req
588. This is Earth-1.
I've got a sighting here.Copy !req
589. It looks more intense somehow.Copy !req
590. Cycle up all towers immediately.Copy !req
591. Satellite, something's
different about this one.Copy !req
592. It's not a wave.Copy !req
593. Earth-2 to Satellite.Copy !req
594. A blinding light here,
but not much damage.Copy !req
595. Multiple alerts are calling in
to report the same, Batman.Copy !req
596. Maybe this one was just a dud.Copy !req
597. Maybe.Copy !req
598. Satellite, reporting an unusual
development from Earth-2.Copy !req
599. If it's to tell us that
some kind of shadow demonsCopy !req
600. are peeling themselves
off the walls,Copy !req
601. save your breath.
You're not so special.Copy !req
602. We've got about a million
of them on our hands.Copy !req
603. - Great Caesar's ghost.
- I only wish it was.Copy !req
604. Welcome to hell.Copy !req
605. Where am I?Copy !req
606. NowhereCopy !req
607. HereCopy !req
608. Inside meCopy !req
609. Why do you help them?Copy !req
610. What? Who?Copy !req
611. The othersCopy !req
612. HimCopy !req
613. Especially himCopy !req
614. The Monitor?Copy !req
615. YesCopy !req
616. MonitorCopy !req
617. Who are you? Do you have a name?Copy !req
618. What is a name?Copy !req
619. It's just a word that means you,Copy !req
620. like "Charles" or the "Monitor".Copy !req
621. Not like Monitor!Copy !req
622. Nothing like him! He opposes meCopy !req
623. Obviously,
you're nothing like him.Copy !req
624. You're the opposite of him.Copy !req
625. You're the Anti-Monitor.Copy !req
626. YesCopy !req
627. Anti-MonitorCopy !req
628. YesCopy !req
629. But why do you help him?Copy !req
630. What other choice do I have?Copy !req
631. You can change the others, CharlesCopy !req
632. Make them feel the way you feelCopy !req
633. It hurts when they
don't feel like youCopy !req
634. But you cannot change them allCopy !req
635. CharlesCopy !req
636. I can try.Copy !req
637. There are too many peopleCopy !req
638. What if you had
your own universe?Copy !req
639. Full of people who felt
whatever you feel,Copy !req
640. You would beCopy !req
641. their king?Copy !req
642. TheirCopy !req
643. GodCopy !req
644. They're intangible.Copy !req
645. I killed one!Copy !req
646. Negative, Superman.Copy !req
647. Our initial data indicatesCopy !req
648. these things
are actually a single creature.Copy !req
649. In other words, keep shooting.Copy !req
650. It's an intelligence.Copy !req
651. A being attacking all realityCopy !req
652. all existence.Copy !req
653. Incredible.Copy !req
654. First time you've been
surprised in a billion years.Copy !req
655. You should have questioned
your own infallibility.Copy !req
656. Hippolyta to Satellite.
Earth-46 tower in jeopardy.Copy !req
657. These demons are impervious
to my Amazons' attacks.Copy !req
658. They are potentially
vulnerable to light attacks,Copy !req
659. Queen Hippolyta.Copy !req
660. Don't let them reach that tower.Copy !req
661. I must help my sisters.Copy !req
662. Diana, Earth-46 is
an Amazon-ruled Earth,Copy !req
663. but they are not your sisters.Copy !req
664. And that is not your mother.Copy !req
665. Maybe not,
but they're close enough.Copy !req
666. And they're alive.Copy !req
667. I plan to keep them that way.Copy !req
668. Let there be light.Copy !req
669. And there was light.Copy !req
670. And it was good.Copy !req
671. Give 'em hell, Bat family.Copy !req
672. Growing up, my father taught me
to stick close to the shadows.Copy !req
673. But I guess this is
a little too damn close.Copy !req
674. Monitor,Copy !req
675. the light has to be
significantly bright to harm them.Copy !req
676. Solovar! They're back!Copy !req
677. Kamandi!Copy !req
678. Oh, no. No, no, no.Copy !req
679. We'll get you
back up to the Satellite.Copy !req
680. They'll fix you right up.Copy !req
681. Too late.Copy !req
682. Stay alert. They'll be back.Copy !req
683. Stay alive, boy.Copy !req
684. This world needs you.Copy !req
685. Understood, Batman.Copy !req
686. Relaying that information
to all Earths now.Copy !req
687. Doctor Light,
where are you going?Copy !req
688. The answer's in my name,
Your Majesty.Copy !req
689. Light. Understood. I'm on it.Copy !req
690. I should have known.Copy !req
691. The light of Truth
shall scatter the darkness.Copy !req
692. You have done well.Copy !req
693. Mother.Copy !req
694. Forgive me. Hippolyta.Copy !req
695. You're so much like
my own adopted mother.Copy !req
696. She died along with all the
Amazons in a horrible war.Copy !req
697. Strange then, that you didn't
die in battle alongside them.Copy !req
698. I'm immortal. I cannot die.Copy !req
699. Must be nice.Copy !req
700. An eternity watching
people die in front of me?Copy !req
701. It isn't a gift. It's a curse.Copy !req
702. Again. Forgive me.Copy !req
703. No forgiveness is necessary.Copy !req
704. We are grateful for your help,
Wonder Woman.Copy !req
705. An entire Earth led by Amazons.Copy !req
706. - How wonderful.
- Our planet, Themesterra,Copy !req
707. is a rare pearl.Copy !req
708. The shadows flee
at intensely bright light.Copy !req
709. Is there sufficient electricity
nearby, to—Copy !req
710. When we threw off
male oppression,Copy !req
711. we discarded the infernal
wheel of technology as well.Copy !req
712. It did not agree with our ways.Copy !req
713. Are all the men...Copy !req
714. They live still. Controlled.Copy !req
715. They serve us.Copy !req
716. It's better than they deserve.Copy !req
717. My Queen,Copy !req
718. the Swords of Hemera flash
with the brightness of daylightCopy !req
719. when used in a just cause.Copy !req
720. Get them.Copy !req
721. And torches, lanterns...
anything that casts a light.Copy !req
722. May the goddesses grant
they may be enough.Copy !req
723. Sorry, I didn't...Copy !req
724. Wow.Copy !req
725. In a ship full
of weird costumes... um...Copy !req
726. So you're a psychotic pirate
or something?Copy !req
727. Yes.Copy !req
728. Yes, that's it, exactly.Copy !req
729. I didn't know until you said it.Copy !req
730. When in Rome, right?
I'm Charles.Copy !req
731. Where are you rushing off to?Copy !req
732. Well, now there's some kind of
shadow army attacking the towers.Copy !req
733. Monitor ordered me back to
Earth-1 to help hold them back.Copy !req
734. You must be anxious
to get your hands on them.Copy !req
735. We have to keep
those towers going.Copy !req
736. We all saw what happened
to your Legion friends.Copy !req
737. These creatures
are surely responsible.Copy !req
738. I'm sure you're feelingCopy !req
739. a little payback is in order.Copy !req
740. Um... I...Copy !req
741. I...Copy !req
742. They needCopy !req
743. to really feel it.Copy !req
744. What do you have left
except for revenge?Copy !req
745. As Long John Silver says...Copy !req
746. "Thems that dieCopy !req
747. will be the lucky ones."Copy !req
748. I've got this area covered.Copy !req
749. You're not the only one
who can light it up, Doctor.Copy !req
750. No, I simply do it better.Copy !req
751. Why don't you take
your novelty jewelryCopy !req
752. and cover the southwest corner?Copy !req
753. - Call me if you need help.
- Don't hold your breath, Doc.Copy !req
754. I've been in more firefights
than you'll ever know.Copy !req
755. About time you got down here.Copy !req
756. Heat vision.
Your brightest intensity.Copy !req
757. Kara!Copy !req
758. Heat vision.Copy !req
759. Kara!Copy !req
760. Oh, you're gonna
pay for that, ugly.Copy !req
761. - Kara!
—Long live the Legion!Copy !req
762. Kara? What is it? What's wrong?Copy !req
763. Mother? How? You're alive?Copy !req
764. I must have been dreaming.Copy !req
765. But it was so real.Copy !req
766. Kal-El was there and he
was older, and all my friends...Copy !req
767. And you were—Copy !req
768. Dead?Copy !req
769. Of course,
dear, because I am dead.Copy !req
770. Everyone on Krypton is dead.Copy !req
771. What?Copy !req
772. Perhaps I can explain.Copy !req
773. Brainy! Dawnstar!Copy !req
774. I... I don't understand.
What's happening? Are you...Copy !req
775. No, we're not dead.Copy !req
776. Because we were never alive.Copy !req
777. We've been erased
from existence.Copy !req
778. Everything we've ever done,
or thought, or said,Copy !req
779. is gone... forever.Copy !req
780. It's terrible, isn't it?Copy !req
781. He seems to enjoy the viewCopy !req
782. I know.Copy !req
783. I know. He just came
and watched.Copy !req
784. Interesting. You think he just
happened to be in the neighborhoodCopy !req
785. when your planet blew up? Huh.Copy !req
786. What? What are you saying?Copy !req
787. On my world, a shockingly high number
of firefighters are serial arsonists.Copy !req
788. It's strange, isn't it?Copy !req
789. This Monitor has been presentCopy !req
790. for every major galactic
tragedy in your historyCopy !req
791. And many before thatCopy !req
792. Interesting coincidence.Copy !req
793. No.Copy !req
794. It doesn't have to
be this way, Kara.Copy !req
795. You can fight back,
save them all.Copy !req
796. Your mother, your friends.Copy !req
797. Your cousin.Copy !req
798. The universe can be remadeCopy !req
799. It can be rectifiedCopy !req
800. How?Copy !req
801. You must strike at your enemyCopy !req
802. Your kidnapperCopy !req
803. Your monsterCopy !req
804. You're the only one
who can do it, Kara.Copy !req
805. You're the only one
who can save the universe.Copy !req
806. Save us all.Copy !req
807. I told you to stay away.Copy !req
808. The actual phrase you're
looking for is "Thank you."Copy !req
809. Well, at least we know
this Bruce is just like ours.Copy !req
810. I'm nothing like your Batman.Copy !req
811. I don't recruit children to
fight in a war. How many died?Copy !req
812. They knew the risks.Copy !req
813. That Batman is a fool.Copy !req
814. I'll tell you what he wasn't.Copy !req
815. Alone.Copy !req
816. He was a great man. He gave
us a purpose. You don't know.Copy !req
817. Leave Father alone.Copy !req
818. Who are you to question him?Copy !req
819. He's not your father,
you little whack job.Copy !req
820. Take that back.Copy !req
821. You asked for this.Copy !req
822. Stop it!Copy !req
823. This is no time—Copy !req
824. Oh, big man,
shoving kids around.Copy !req
825. You made a misery
out of my adolescence.Copy !req
826. Damned if I'll stand by
and watch you do—Copy !req
827. I was rightCopy !req
828. to drop your counterpart
at the orphanage.Copy !req
829. Fire doesn't harm these demons,Copy !req
830. but at least it hinders
their advance.Copy !req
831. Your Amazons fight bravely.
But where are the men?Copy !req
832. They are sealed into their
quarters, whenever we go to war.Copy !req
833. You're losing this battle.Copy !req
834. The men must be released
so they can fight alongside us.Copy !req
835. You must be mad.
They cannot be trusted.Copy !req
836. They'll fight by your side.Copy !req
837. You don't know what this world
was like before our revolution.Copy !req
838. A hell for our kind.Copy !req
839. I believe you. But you must
fight together or die.Copy !req
840. I would die gladly before even
considering arming the men.Copy !req
841. What... what am I doing?Copy !req
842. Light, stop!Copy !req
843. We need to fight the shadows,
not each other.Copy !req
844. Why should I limit myself
to one enemy?Copy !req
845. Okay, lady's gone crazy.Copy !req
846. Nice trick.Copy !req
847. Got any more?Copy !req
848. Hey, old timer.Copy !req
849. This place
is too dangerous for...Copy !req
850. Wait a minute.Copy !req
851. I know you.Copy !req
852. You'd think
those little blue blokesCopy !req
853. would know how to make a ring
that'd hold a charge better.Copy !req
854. You said the worlds
were ending. You knew.Copy !req
855. Are you a part of this?Copy !req
856. Hey.Copy !req
857. Not so fast, Gramps.Copy !req
858. What...Copy !req
859. What the hell?Copy !req
860. Charles, why are you doing this?Copy !req
861. Broadcasting hate,
fear, distrust?Copy !req
862. I'm just giving more
of what they already have.Copy !req
863. Your actions
have no logical motive.Copy !req
864. When I helped you before,
there was no other option.Copy !req
865. Now I have a choice.Copy !req
866. What other option, Charles?Copy !req
867. There is only
destruction. Oblivion.Copy !req
868. Wrong.
There is the Anti-Monitor.Copy !req
869. Anti-Monitor?Copy !req
870. There is no more Charles.Copy !req
871. Your loving daughter
recognized what I am.Copy !req
872. A psycho pirate.Copy !req
873. Wave-ho.Copy !req
874. Oh, no. Not now!Copy !req
875. Mother!Copy !req
876. No!Copy !req
877. By the Goddesses! No!Copy !req
878. Not now.Copy !req
879. Please.Copy !req
880. So.Copy !req
881. You believe in me at last.Copy !req
882. As I've said,
you are a delusion,Copy !req
883. a manifestation
of my own inabilityCopy !req
884. to account for
the astronomical unlikelihoodCopy !req
885. of knowable existence.Copy !req
886. It matters little.Copy !req
887. The Presence is pleased that you
have come to experience empathy.Copy !req
888. This... caring has cost me much.Copy !req
889. Why must I suffer it?Copy !req
890. You believe
you're paying the cost now?Copy !req
891. Since the very dawn of time,Copy !req
892. you have been absorbing
more galactic power.Copy !req
893. What good has my power done?Copy !req
894. All reality is being
ripped to pieces.Copy !req
895. To whom much is given,Copy !req
896. much will be required.Copy !req
897. You are not paying yet.Copy !req
