PREVIOUSLY ON LEGION OF SUPER HEROES.
Superman: SO, THESE FATAL FIVE GUYS ARE PRETTY BAD, HUH?
Saturn Girl: THE WORST. IT TOOK THE ENTIRE LEGION
TO PUT THEM IN JAIL.
- YAH! - AH!
Superman: WHAT WAS THAT THING?
Brainiac 5: THE MOST DEVASTATING WEAPON
THIS GALAXY HAS EVER SEEN.
THAT WAS A SUN-EATER.
THE DEVICE IS CAPABLE OF DEVOURING AN ENTIRE STAR.
IT WAS CREATED DURING THE GREAT CRISIS
BY AN INTERDIMENSIONAL SPECIES KNOWN AS THE CONTROLLERS.
Saturn Girl: THEN WHY WOULD ONE OF THEM WANT TO REACTIVATE IT?
Brainiac 5: UNKNOWN.
THE CONTROLLERS' MOTIVATIONS
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOMEWHAT EXTREME
- FERRO LAD, ARE YOU READY? - DO IT.
TOO MUCH ENERGY, HE'S LOSING IT!
NO, I CAN...
AGH!
Phantom Girl: WE MISSED. REPEAT, THE SHOT MISSED!
- AH! - UH!
UNH!
Brainiac 5: THE SUN-EATER'S SET A NEW COURSE...
EARTH.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY TO STOP THIS THING.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER. WE NEED HELP.
POWERFUL HELP.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET.
SUPERMAN TO CRUISER, WE'RE IN.
I KNEW WE NEEDED HELP TO STOP THE SUN-EATER.
I JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE...
THE FATAL FIVE.
[THEME MUSIC]
NANO-WIRES ARE CROSSED.
I'VE GOT THE MONITOR SYSTEM DOWN FROM HERE TO THE VAULT.
GOOD WORK, SHRINKING VIOLET.
GET YOURSELF READY FOR PHASE 2.
THE REST OF YOU, LET'S GO.
[GRUNTS]
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT,
THE LEGION IS BUSTING US OUT OF PRISON?
YOU MUST BE PRETTY DESPERATE TO NEED OUR HELP?
WELL, EMPRESS, IS THE FATAL FIVE GONNA HELP US OUT OR NOT?
YOU DO REALIZE WE'LL NEED TO COLLECT A FEW PERSONAL ITEMS?
- [GASPS] - [GRUNT]
REMEMBER, BOYS, A DEAL'S A DEAL.
BUT AFTER WE STOP THIS THING ALL BETS ARE OFF.
AND YOU'LL END UP RIGHT BACK HERE.
COUNT ON IT.
[GROWLS]
KNOCK IT OFF, YOU GUYS.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME SO I'LL GET RIGHT TO IT.
THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN THE SUN-EATER
AND ITS NEXT MEAL IS YOU.
THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA STOP IT.
A SOLAR TRANSDUCER WILL TURN
THE SUN-EATER'S OWN POWER AGAINST IT.
DEPLOYED CORRECTLY, IT WILL DEVOUR ITSELF
IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS TO GATHER ENOUGH QUANTUM PARTICLES
FOR ONE OF THOSE TO WORK.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY
YOU'LL BE HELPING ME SPEED UP THE PROCESS.
I HAVE ASSIGNMENTS FOR ALL OF YOU.
WORK FAST. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
LIGHTNING LAD, SATURN GIRL,
TAKE VALIDUS WITH YOU TO THE THIRD MOON OF RA
WE NEED DALAMITE CRYSTAL.
PERSUADER, WE NEED QUANTUM ORE
SO GO TO THE TYRO CLUSTER AND START CHOPPING!
TIMBER WOLF AND COLOSSAL BOY,
A BAND OF SCAVENGERS IS REPORTED ON VEGA 3
GO SHOPPING AND GET THAT QUANTUM.
THE TIBERIAN NEBULA WILL SUPPLY THE ANTIMATTER WE NEED.
STAR BOY AND MANO, GO.
PHANTOM GIRL, A STABILIZER COIL IS WAITING FOR US ON RIMBLE.
THEY'RE ALSO SENDING JONAH TO HELP.
I GUESS THAT LEAVES ME.
YOU GET THE HARDEST JOB OF ALL, SUPERMAN.
BECAUSE THE SUN-EATER IS STILL POWERED BY A RED SUN
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT.
SO YOUR MISSION WILL BE
TO FIND THE CONTROLLER WHO'S DOING ALL THIS
AND STOP HIM.
CONTROLLERS ARE NOTORIOUSLY ELUSIVE
AND IMMUNE TO UNITED PLANETS' LAWS
YOU CAN STOP THEM, BUT YOU CAN'T ARREST THEM.
NEVER EASY, IS IT?
NOT AT ALL.
Superman: SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
TO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IF WE DON'T STOP THE SUN-EATER.
Brainiac 5: THE CHEYENNE SYSTEM SUPPORTED NO LIFE.
FOR US, IT WOULD BE MONUMENTALLY WORSE.
I'VE OUTFITTED YOUR FIGHTER
WITH DIMENSIONAL DISPLACEMENT SENSORS.
IF THEY MANAGE TO FIND A RIFT
IT WILL LEAD YOU TO THE CONTROLLER'S SHIP.
AND SINCE THIS IS THE LAST PLACE HE PROBABLY WAS
IT MAKES SENSE TO START HERE.
SUPERMAN, I'VE LEFT SOMETHING
IN THE CONSOLE FOR YOU.
IF WE FAIL, THE EARTH OF THIS FUTURE WILL BE GONE.
WHAT YOU'RE HOLDING WILL ACTIVATE
A TIME BUBBLE TO TAKE YOU HOME.
I WON'T NEED IT.
GO FINISH YOUR MISSILE.
GOOD LUCK, SUPERMAN.
NOW...WHERE ARE YOU?
YOU DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA FIND THAT CONTROLLER, DO YOU?
HE'LL BE SAFE OUT THERE, THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
IT'S LIKE FINDING A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
I'D PROBABLY DO BETTER IF I JUST GOT OUT AND LOOKED.
LET'S TRY SOME INFRARED VISION.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW. THERE'S MY NEEDLE.
[ALARM BEEPING]
[SIGHS] SO...
IT SEEMS I HAVE BEEN FOUND.
THIS ONE'S KIND HAS ALWAYS BEEN TROUBLE.
HE'LL SOON LEARN WHAT WE DO TO THOSE WHO GET IN OUR WAY.
IT'LL NEVER WORK, YOU KNOW.
NOT WHEN YOUR WELD IS OFF BY .432 MICRONS.
- AH! - I HAVE TO GIVE YOU CREDIT
IT TAKES GUTS TO FACE CERTAIN DESTRUCTION.
THE ONLY THING CERTAIN I SEE
IS YOU GETTING BOUNCED FROM THIS SHIP
IF YOU DON'T GET THAT CREEPY EYE AWAY FROM ME!
IT'S READY.
Saturn Girl: BOUNCING BOY, REPORT TO THE BRIDGE.
THE SUN-EATER JUST ENTERED OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
CALLING ALL LEGIONNAIRES!
FORM RANKS AND GET READY FOR BATTLE.
ALRIGHT, I'VE FOUND YOU.
NOW HOW DO I GET IN?
GUESS THIS WON'T BE A SNEAK ATTACK.
NOT COMING OUT TO GREET ME IN PERSON?
WELCOME, SUPERMAN.
FEW HAVE SEEN THE CONTROLLERS AS WE WORK.
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GREAT HONOR.
YOU'RE PLAYING WITH INNOCENT LIVES
AND YOU CALL THIS AN HONOR?
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
MOST OF MY KIND BELIEVE PERFECTION LIES IN ORDER.
I BELIEVE IT LIVES IN CHAOS.
YOUR UNITED PLANETS DOES NOT SUIT ME.
SO YOU'RE DESTROYING OUR SUN AND EVERYTHING AROUND IT.
AND IN THE AFTERMATH... PERFECTION.
YOU'RE FORGETTING ONE THING.
[CHUCKLES] AND THAT IS?
ME.
[YELLS]
AH!
UH! OH...
YOUR CHOICE OF COMBAT IS PRIMITIVE.
HOWEVER, AS A GUEST ON MY SHIP I'LL GLADLY INDULGE YOU.
WHA...!
UH!
[YELLS]
UH!
IT APPEARS YOUR FRIENDS ARE MAKING A LAST STAND.
I'LL BE SURE TO KEEP YOU ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THEM FAIL.
[ROARS]
EVERYONE'S IN POSITION.
SHOWTIME.
REMEMBER, THERE'S NO TELLING
WHAT THIS SUN-EATER IS GOING TO THROW AT US
SO BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
NOW, LET'S KNOCK ITS LIGHTS OUT, JUST LIKE WE PLANNED.
GO!
STAR BOY, SLOW DOWN THE CORE.
[STRAINING]
EMPRESS, OPEN THAT CLOUD!
AH!
PERSUADER, THAROK, MATTER EATER, YOU'RE UP!
DISABLE THE FORCE SHIELD.
[GRUNTS]
[SUPERMAN YELLS]
YOUR FRIENDS FIGHT BRAVELY
BUT MY SUN-EATER CANNOT BE STOPPED.
NOR CAN I.
MAYBE NOT YOU,
BUT YOUR SHIP I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT.
AH!
[GRUNTS]
THE COUNTERMEASURES ARE FAILING.
AND SO IS THE EMPRESS.
HER POWERS ARE WEAKENING.
SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD
THE CLOUD BACK MUCH LONGER.
- AH! - AH!
WE'VE LOST OUR PROTECTION FROM THE SUN-EATER'S CLOUD.
BRAINY, TELL ME YOU HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS.
THE SHIELD'S DOWN. I'M ACTIVATING THE TRANSDUCER.
EVERYONE, FALL BACK POSITIONS!
BETTER GET COMFY, BOYS
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE NOW.
NEED A LIFT?
Brainiac 5: LAUNCHING TRANSDUCER NOW!
UH!
ENOUGH?
I THINK IT WAS.
SATURN GIRL, KEEP TABS ON EVERYONE.
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND WHEN THIS THINGS BLOWS.
[ALL YELLING]
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
[GASPS]
YOU BETTER BELIEVE SOMETHING'S WRONG.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN KEEPING TABS ON ME.
NOW THAT YOUR LITTLE WEAPON IS ON ITS WAY
WE'LL BE LEAVING.
WHEN THAT SUN-EATER GOES SUPERNOVA
SO WILL THE REST OF YOU.
NIGHTY-NIGHT.
YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY THINK
I'D HAVE YOU SPRUNG FROM THE JOINT
WITHOUT EXPECTING A DOUBLE-CROSS?
PERFECT TIMING, SHRINKING VIOLET.
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED?
HOLD ON TIGHT,
WHEN THAT THING BLOWS WE'RE OUT OF HERE
AS FAST AS THIS SHIP CAN TAKE US.
IMPACT IN FIVE...
FOUR, THREE...
TWO, ONE.
I FIGURED THERE'D BE A BIGGER BOOM.
THERE'S BEEN A MALFUNCTION.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THERE'S BEEN A MALFUNCTION?
HE MEANS IT WAS A DUD.
WE'RE NOT STOPPING THIS THING.
I'M RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC.
THERE HAS TO BE AN EXPLANATION.
DOES IT MATTER? WE'VE FAILED.
BUT YOU HAVE A BACKUP PLAN, RIGHT, BOUNCY?
YOU ALWAYS HAVE A...
THAT WAS IT.
TAKE A LESSON.
CHAOS IS INEVITABLE.
[YELLS]
[LAUGHING]
I TOLD YOU IT WOULDN'T WORK.
YOU SHOULD HAVE LET SOMEONE WITH REAL BRAINS...
BLAH BLAH BLAH.
THE PRIMARY CONDUCTOR COIL
WAS DESTROYED ON IMPACT WITH THE CORE.
REPLACING IT WITH A SIMILAR MECHANISM
SHOULD STILL TRIGGER A DETONATION.
Bouncing Boy: HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?
Phantom Girl: ONLY MINUTES.
Lightning Lad: WHAT'S HE DOING?
FERRO LAD, ARE YOU NUTS?
YOU NEED A CONDUCTOR, I'M IT.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THIS THING GOES.
DON'T WORRY, I WON'T MESS UP THIS TIME.
[STRAINING]
[ROARS]
[GRUNTS]
LONG LIVE THE LEGION.
[GASPS]
AH, WELL DONE.
I MAY HAVE LOST A WEAPON
BUT IT SEEMS YOU HAVE LOST A FRIEND.
THERE CAN ALWAYS BE ANOTHER SUN-EATER.
[YELLS]
[GASPS, YELLS]
I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU, CONTROLLER.
I AM ABOVE YOUR LAWS.
BUT NOT ABOVE THIS.
YOU HAVE IMPRESSED ME, SUPERMAN.
EVER SET FOOT HERE AGAIN
AND I'LL FINISH WHAT WE'VE STARTED.
AHH!
HEROES HAVE STRENGTH, HEROES HAVE COURAGE,
BUT MOST OF ALL HEROES PUT OTHERS BEFORE THEMSELVES.
FERRO LAD WAS A LEGIONNAIRE FOR ONLY A SHORT TIME
BUT HE WAS A GREAT HERO
AND A GREAT FRIEND.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE GALAXY
AND WE WON'T EVER FORGET HIS SACRIFICE.
LONG LIVE FERRO LAD.
LONG LIVE THE LEGION!
[ALL] LONG LIVE THE LEGION!
WELL, I GUESS IT'S TIME.
C'MERE, YOU BIG LUG.
OH, WHAT THE HECK!
[ALL GASP]
YOU KNOW I CAN COME BACK THE EXACT SAME MOMENT I LEFT.
WELL, DON'T WAIT TOO LONG. TIMBER WOLF MADE COOKIES.
SO I LIKE TO BAKE.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW JOB.
METROPOLIS OR BUST.
[MA] CLARK! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!
- I MADE YOUR FAVORITE! - BE RIGHT DOWN, MA!
JUST IN TIME FOR CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS.
