- Do you like superman?
- Krell, let's go.
The museum is closing.
- You look funny.
- Maybe I should've
worn the cape.
- What are you doing?
He's at the museum again.
- It's only myths
and legends there.
Any factual information
about superman's origin
Was lost
during the great crisis.
- Then he'll have to find
those answers in his own time.
It's rude to snoop
on your friends, brainy.
P.a.: The museum has now closed.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
- [Thinking]
never noticed this before.
I wonder if
the "no touching" rule applies
When it's your own museum.
Whoa. That's strange.
Okay, what did I just do?
- I'm free.
[Laughing]
No. It can't be.
You, what is this place?!
- It's a museum.
- I see the altar...
But where is the god?
- Who are you?
- My name is drax.
I'm superman's worst nightmare.
It's been a pleasure.
- Well, whoever this drax is,
He sure did a number
on the place.
- Did he give you any clue
where he's from?
- He did more smashing
than talking.
- This technology is ancient,
even older than superman.
It opens a gateway to a part
of interdimensional space.
Anything inside would be
perfectly preserved in
a noncorporeal molecular state.
- Um, translation, please.
- A phantom, a ghost.
And the only way in or out
is through a device like this.
Saturn girl: it sounds awful.
- I believe that's the intent.
It's a prison.
- So in other words,
mr. "I've got my own
museum" here
Just caused a jailbreak.
- Seriously, guys,
I had no idea.
- An escaped prisoner
as powerful as superman
loose in new metropolis.
The science police
are gonna love that.
- Did I mention he had pets?
- Pets?
- Pets?
[Creatures snarl]
Advertisement:
space spores got you down?
Well, try splungo,
An all-new way to show
those slimy slugs who's boss.
- So, this is walking.
Hmm. I think I like it.
[Horn honks]
[Siren]
- Alright,
what's going on here?
- Just enjoying the city,
officer.
- Identify yourself.
- How about
your lord and master?
Has a nice ring to it,
don't you think?
Come on, you can do better
than that, can't you?
Rip 'em to shreds.
[Both gasp]
Officer: yaah!
- Look out.
More of them headed this way.
- Remember me?
I'm the one who let you out.
- You? You're this superman
they honor?
- And I'm also the one
sending you back.
- I'm gonna guess
he doesn't like that idea.
- Those are his pets?
- [Snarling]
- [Roar]
- [Whimpering]
- Unh! Uhh!
- Maybe I didn't
make myself clear.
You're going back.
- That's not quite the reaction
I was hoping for.
- Yaah!
- Saturn girl, watch it!
[Timber wolf snarls]
- Okay, fine. You take 'em.
- Impressive.
Destroying you won't be easy,
But it will be fun.
Phantom girl:
superman, the bridge.
- Hold that thought.
- [Snarls]
- I'm sorry. Superman's
not available right now.
Care to leave a message?
- Ohh! Unh!
- Aah!
- Unh!
Ohh!
- [Creatures snarling]
- Thanks.
- [Creature roars]
- Hey, fight your own monster.
- [Growls]
- It's over, drax.
Let's stop this
before anyone gets hurt.
- Male, telepathic:
remember who you are, drax.
- What's happening to him?
- It's in his head.
He's hearing voices.
- That's never a good sign.
- You're evil.
You always have been,
and you always will be.
Do not fail us.
- [Growls]
Legion: aah!
- [Roars]
- The pets have powers, too?
Sure. Why not.
- He's gone.
Superman: we should have
followed him.
Why did brainy insist
we come back here?
- The science police don't
stand a chance against this guy.
They'll need our help.
Phantom girl:
like they'll ever ask.
We'll probably get blamed
for all this, too.
[Sighs] those guys hate us.
- Gee, too bad no one here
could do anything about that.
- Lay off, lightning lad.
- I'm just saying, since her mom
is president of the galaxy.
- For some reason, drax has
a vendetta against superman.
Brainiac 5: this is interesting.
Based on scans I made
during our encounter,
I've been able to formulate
A molecular matrix
of our visitor.
Not only does he share
your powers, superman,
He's almost your genetic equal.
- Then I've got
a lot of questions,
And he'd better answer.
- Soon this will all be ours.
What do you think of that?
- [Purring]
- [Groaning]
- Are you forgetting
why you exist,
What we trained you for?
- No. I haven't forgotten.
- Then make us proud.
- I'll do even better.
Your superman is finished,
And before this day is done,
you'll also be free.
- [Roars]
[Fires w*apon]
- It's those legion freaks.
Call in reinforcements.
[Sirens]
- So much
for keeping things quiet.
- Close in. Take 'em down.
- Haah!
- These things aren't so tough.
Whoa!
- Not so tough?
- The sewer. I'll go.
- Hold on a minute.
You think
just because I'm a girl,
I don't wanna
get my hands dirty?
[Splash]
eww. Gross.
- So do you figure
comet and cupid are trained
or naturally this friendly?
- [Roars]
- There they are. Blast 'em.
- Somebody ought to remind 'em
we're the good guys.
- [Sighs] I just wish you'd stop
trying to protect me.
- And I just wish you'd
stop being such a princess.
I was just being nice.
- Yeah, well, this princess
can take care of herself.
- Yaar!
- Lightning lad.
- They sh*t first.
Whoa!
- Don't you think it's
strange that drax is
nowhere to be found?
- Maybe he gave up
and went home.
- Or maybe
it's the other way around.
Take care of the monsters.
I need to go check on brainy.
Uhh!
Unh!
- Where's the projector?
- I don't have it.
- I could take you apart
piece by piece.
Try again.
- Very well.
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Nice try,
But my parents made sure
those little green rocks
wouldn't work on me.
But your superman...
- I won't let you hurt him.
- Does he know you have this?
What other secrets
are you hiding?
Now, one last time,
Where is the projector?
- If you're in such a hurry
to get home, buddy,
You should've just said so.
- I'm not going anywhere.
You, on the other hand...
- How long are you
going to keep this up, drax?
[Both grunting]
- Saturn girl. Lightning lad.
- Brainy, what is it?
Brainiac 5: drax is here.
Superman needs help.
- We're on our way.
Lightning lad, we'll have to
leave it for the science police.
- I almost got him.
Yaah! Unh!
- Timber wolf. Phantom girl.
Phantom girl: got it.
We're right behind you.
- [Snarls]
- Yaah!
- Why are you doing this?
- Because I'm evil,
Always have been,
always will be.
Brainiac 5: then clearly
you belong in jail.
- Sorry, drax, but he's right.
- Stop.
Don't send me back there.
You have no idea how it is.
I'll go anywhere but there.
Looks like it's just
you and me, buddy.
- What have you done?
- I eliminated your friends'
only way home.
What a pity.
- Raah!
What have I ever
done to you, drax?
- It's not about
what you've done.
It's about what you will do.
- Computo, lights.
- Yaah! Unh!
[Soft whispering]
- Aw, man.
I don't like this at all.
- [Chuckles]
- You can't hurt these things.
- Raah!
- Then don't try.
- Easy for you to say.
- Raah!
- [Grunts]
- Yaah!
- Unh!
- [Phantoms growling]
- I'm running out
of options here.
- Everyone move close to me.
- How long
will this shield hold?
- Considering the increased
power drain for extending
its diameter,
I'd say for at least
- Then I guess we have 3 minutes
To figure out how to kick
these guys' butts.
- Now it's 2.85 minutes.
- Why don't we stop counting
And start figuring
how to get out of here?
- And there's that.
Brainiac 5:
precisely what I'm working on.
- Brainiac 5 always has
a few tricks up his sleeve.
- In more ways than you know.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Why don't you ask him?
- Where did you come from?
How did you get your powers?
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
You don't know, do you?
You ever wonder what I did
to get sent to that place?
- The thought's crossed my mind.
- Absolutely nothing.
I was born there.
It made me just like you,
Only better.
- But you're free now.
- Free to finish you.
- Soon you'll be ours.
- Well, can you do it?
- If I reverse my onboard
sensor array to broadcast
And then draw extra power
from lighting lad,
I should be able to tear open
a rift between our dimensions.
- So, what are we waiting for?
- There's one small problem...
Phantom girl.
- What?
- In order for this to work,
You'll need
to take us all phantom.
- I-i've never phased out
that many people before,
But I'll try.
- That's not
what I'm worried about.
Given the nature of your powers,
I can't guarantee you'll
regain cohesion when we return.
- I don't like how that sounds.
- It means I'll get stuck
in phantom mode, doesn't it?
- Too risky.
There's gotta be a better way.
- There isn't.
At any moment,
the shield will fall.
- Then let's do it.
- We'll all need to work
together to reach velocity.
Go!
Now!
- Unh!
- I bet you think
you're invincible, don't you?
Nothing can touch the superman.
Well, you're about to get
A little history lesson.
[Chuckles]
No! Aah!
- You made it.
- [Groaning]
- Not all of us.
- [Gags] I think I'm gonna hurl.
- Sorry about your lab.
- It's fine.
I made a few upgrades.
- Drax took something
from your safe, a black sphere.
I hope it wasn't important.
- It was nothing. Actually,
I'm glad to be rid of it.
- You know, I wanted drax
to give me answers,
But I'm glad he didn't.
I'm done with the museum, too.
I still have a lot of questions,
But for now, life is more fun
with a little mystery.
