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