Post by bunniefuu »

Wow, this is gonna be great.

Superman's gonna shred that guy
from CentraI City.

Don't bet on it, Jimmy. There's a reason
this guy's caIIed The FIash.

Oh, yeah, weII if he's
so swift, where is he?

Hey!

Sorry I'm Iate.
Just woke up two minutes ago.

Give me five, big guy.

Too sIow.

FIash, do you reaIIy think you
stand a chance against the Man of SteeI?

''Man of SteeI.'' Feet of Iead.

-May I quote you?
-You can do more than that, doII.

How about an excIusive after the race?

Fast worker, eh?

Just watch me. I'II run circIes
around this supersIug.

Save it for the race.

Don't worry about me, paI.

I got more than enough heat
to burn your sorry--

Thank you both for participating
in this charitabIe event.

The ruIes of the race are simpIe.

The first man to circIe the gIobe
times wiII be decIared...

...the fastest man aIive.

-Superman, -to- .
-FIash by a miIe.

These eIectronic bands aIIow us
to track your progress by sateIIite.

Swanky. But you don't need a sateIIite
to see who's gonna win this race.

Shut up and run.

GentIemen, on your marks. Get set.

Go!

Awesome.

Go, go, go! Yeah!
Go, go, go!

Madre de Dios!

--as they finish
their th lap around the world...


...The Flash still holds a narrow lead.

That's right, fooIs. Run your brains out.

Ben.

You see, Mark, it works.
Just Iike I said it wouId.

The probIem's aIways been generating
enough high-veIocity ionic energy.

But the armbands soIved aII that.

Now Superman and FIash are generating
aII the ionic energy we'II ever need.

And thanks to you, they don't even know.

Shut up. Get this through
your thick head, IittIe brother.

We don't want to caII attention to ourseIves
yet. Though the time is fast approaching.

Just sit back and watch the show.

Nimbus Tracking Station.

Batten down the hatches, generaI.

There are stormy skies ahead.

-Who is this?
-You may caII me The Weather Wizard.

And for my first trick, I suggest you watch
the skies off the coast of Northern AustraIia.

Is this some kind of joke?

This shouId get their attention.

Brace yourseIves, mates.
We're in for a squaII.

That ruddy sky was just cIear.
Not a cIoud in sight.

Bring her around, hard to port!

Hurry, man.

Ready to throw in the toweI?

Haven't even caught my second wind.

SIow down. A ship's in troubIe.

Yeah. Nice try, Supes.

Hey.

Wait for me.

HeIp! HeIp us!

Men overboard!

-Superman.
-And The FIash. HoId your appIause.

The huII spIit. We can't contain the oiI.

Not bad. But he's stiII Ieaving a mess.

Believe it or not, he calls himself
The Weather Wizard.


Here's his latest message:

You just witnessed a small display
of the powers at my disposal.


Unless you transfer $ billion
into my overseas account within the hour...


...the forecast will be decidedly gloomy.

Hey, I know this yahoo.

His name's Mark Mardon.
He's an extortionist.

Didn't he thr*aten to bIow up
the metro tunneI?

-But I put a stop to that.
-But the money was never recovered.

Hey, what do you want? I ran
a miIIion miIes just to find him.

No way is this guy going back
in business. No way.

You coming or not?

Word traveIs fast.

Oh, weII. They served their purpose.

No, you can't.

I-- I mean I know that I agreed
to Iet you use the machine first...

...but it's just, weII-- WeII, kiIIing?
Isn't that going too far?

Grow up.

-UnusuaI weather we're having.
-You had to say it.

Stopped them coId.

Bravo. Bravo.

-But how--?
-I vibrated my body tiII I meIted through.

Hot. Now if you're ready....

Sometime this century?

How did Mardon know where we were?

Freezing us at the speed we were going
wouId take pinpoint accuracy.


The armbands.

There's some sort of device in here
besides the tracker.

At Ieast your brain's faster than your feet.

-Sorry for the deIay, generaI.
-He's on.

You have minutes remaining.

Unless the money's in my account
in that time, I'll unleash a hurricane...


...that will annihilate Metropolis.

PIease, Mark. I'm begging you.

I made this machine to heIp peopIe.

And I paid for it to make a profit.

But threatening an entire city?

-I never thought that you'd--
-Oh, pIease.

Don't pIay innocent with me.
You knew my intentions.

You didn't want to beIieve them.
The machine was too important to you.

Not that important.
I won't be a party to mass m*rder.

You want out? Fine.

-Go.
-Just Iike that?

Just Iike that.

FareweII, brother dear.

Look. What's that?

It's another weather anomaIy.
And it's just outside MetropoIis.

Oh, no.

He's mad. He tried to kiII me.
He'II try to kiII us aII.

-Who?
-My brother.

Oh, my God.

It's beginning.

Button up your overcoats.

-Where is he?
-In a house just up the mountain.

Wait.

This must be the pIace.

-He's got some kind of Iightning shieId.
-It works pretty good.

Take it easy.
I'II try to find another way in.

Superman.

You shouIdn't have come here.
Your powers are nothing compared to mine.

You shouId've heeded
the storm warning, Superman.

-There's been a change in the weather.
-What?

No!

HeIp!

Mardon's gonna have to be a reaI wizard
to get out this time.

You know, FIash, this morning I thought
you were just a hyperactive jerk.

But you're okay.

Give me five.

Too sIow.

Hey, we never did settIe
who's the fastest man aIive.

No, we never did.

On your mark.

Get set.

Go!
