[Cheering]
- 42.2633 meters!
Zzok has beaten
his own record
In the standing
spin-burrow
For gold medal number 3!
- That's right, frank.
In true intergalactic
game spirit,
The largely carbon-based
crowd has taken
This plucky sephian
into their hearts.
- Live from olympus 12,
Our coverage of the lucky
Continues with the classic
dodecathlon.
- 12 Brutal heats
that pit competitors
From every quadrant.
Only the very best
of the best.
- You got that right.
- Look at that crowd,
lightning lad.
- What can I say,
superman?
They love me.
- Must be the altitude.
Commentator: there's
the diplomatic sky box,
Where top dignitaries
from the united planets
are watching,
Along with the crowd
and trillions at home.
- That's right, frank.
I hear their recent
peace talks with the khuns
Didn't go so well.
Let's hope they don't
start a w*r up there.
- We've got a lot
of first-class athletes
here this year.
But I'll tell you
who's got this dodecathlon
sewn up.
- Aha, hear that?
- He's from the planet
winath,
And he really impressed us
in the qualifiers.
- You know who they're
talking about.
- Mekt ranzz!
- Huh? Mekt?
- You didn't think
they were talking
About someone else,
did you, sparky?
See you at the finish line.
- You know that guy?
- Yeah. He's my brother.
- What are you doing here,
mekt?
- Is the big, famous hero
Scared of a little
competition?
- You know the dodecathlon
has always been my thing.
Why do you have to try
and upstage me all the time?
- Come on. All this talk
About you being
"the best in the galaxy".
We both know it isn't true.
I'm just here
to set the record straight.
- You are paste, mekt.
When this is over,
they'll have to wipe you up
With a dishcloth.
- Ha ha ha!
[Engine roars]
- Don't let him get to you.
You can win this.
- Yeah...yeah.
Announcer: contestants
report to the starting area.
- You'd better get
to your seats.
- Phantom girl,
you coming?
- Ucch! Fine.
I hope you realize
what I had to go through
To get us in this thing.
- That's what you keep
saying.
But we're here now.
Can't we at least
enjoy it?
- Easy for you to say.
We're sitting with my mom.
- We're sitting
with the president?
[Indistinct chatter]
- Mm. Hey, crab legs!
- Hey, monkey face!
- Don't worry. The senator
gets that all the time.
Heads up.
- No, no, no.
The climate
reconstruction bill.
The terraform act can't fund
a climate reclamation bill.
Is that clear enough?
Ta, your highness.
Now, tinya,
Who is this handsome
young man?
- Mother, this is superman.
- Hi, uh, mrs....
Uh, madam... Ma'am.
I, uh, never met
a president before.
- So this is the superman
I've heard so much about.
I need to mingle a bit,
but then I want to hear
All about you two!
- Aww, shucks, ma'am.
I ain't never met nobody.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Alright, I guess
I deserved that.
But she did seem nice.
- Nice?
Whose side are you on?
Announcer: round one.
The filament jump.
- It's starting.
[Engines roaring]
- On your belts...
Get set...
[Bang]
- Heh. Looks like you could use
a little elbow room.
Crowd: lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
- Nice foul, mekt.
- Foul? What foul?
The judges
didn't see anything.
- And lightning lad
ekes out an early lead,
But mekt ranzz
isn't far behind.
We'll return to the 343rd
intergalactic...
- Audio off.
Well, what do you think?
- Sports sure have changed
Since the days
of the sh*t put and javelin.
- So. You two
make a cute couple.
- Somebody zap me.
- Oh, no. Uh, we're just
friends, your majesty...
I mean, madam. Ma'am.
- Right. Nice chatting, mom.
We're going out
to get some snacks.
- But the sky box
is catered.
- Yeah. We're going out
for snacks.
- Your mom means well,
you know.
- She doesn't have a clue.
- Don't be so sure.
My ma's pretty busy, too,
But she doesn't miss much.
- What is it?
- Something's not right.
There's something
under the sky box!
Unnh!
- It's a death b*mb.
Get it out of here, fast!
- Unh!
Aah!
Aahh!
Nngh!
Aaaahh... Ah!
- Uh!
- Unnh!
Okay, what was that thing?
- It creates one tiny
speck of dark matter
That can swallow
half a planet.
- Whoa.
- Superman...
I think someone's trying
to blow up my mom.
Keep your eyes peeled
for anything suspicious.
- There.
The pinwheel vendor.
[Whirring]
- Heh heh heh.
- Who is that?
- Um...lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
All: lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
- You can drop the disguise,
tharok.
I know it's you.
- Clever boy.
See through this!
- Uhh! Oh!
[Muffled] hey!
He got away.
Emerald empress
must be cloaking him.
- I don't like
what that means, superman.
- Me neither.
The fatal five are here.
- From the surface
of olympus 12,
Our coverage of the 343rd
intergalactic games
continues.
The grandstands
are in position
For a new event
of the dodecathlon.
- That's right, frank.
We're all set
For some flare surfing.
Now, the judges award points
for hang time,
Difficulty, and style,
So this may be the most
demanding event yet.
Superman: we've got to call
the science police
and alert security.
- Bad idea.
You know the moment
Those guys sound the alarm,
it's mass hysteria.
- We would never be able
to evacuate
All these people in time.
We'll stop them ourselves.
- You've trained all year
for this. You can't quit.
- He doesn't have to.
Lightning lad can keep
an eye on things
from the field.
I'll watch the skies.
Phantom girl,
stick close to your mom.
Just in case.
Mekt: conspiring against me
with your buddies?
Oh, and don't even think
about using one of those
Legion flight rings
to cheat.
- You wanna see my finger?
- You wanna see my fist?
- Sure. Sometime
when it won't get me
disqualified.
- You're smarter
than you look,
little brother.
- If I gotta play,
I'm going to win.
Good luck, you two.
Camden mismullion
is first up,
And...oh!
Quintuple somersault!
- Lightning lad
has his work
cut out for him.
There's 6...7!
The first septuple
somersault in...
- Aah..huah!
- Uh-oh.
[Whap]
- unh!
[Crash]
- And a heart-stopping
finish. Yikes.
That landing's gonna
cost him some points.
- A painter. On game day.
Right.
Mano!
Unh!
- Hey! Over here!
Uh...lightning lad!
Lightning lad!
Lightning la...
Never mind.
- Uh, hah. Kids.
- Ha!
- Ooh!
- Persuader!
Aaannh!
Unnh-aagh!
- Hunh!
Huah... Ahh!
Unh-aah!
Unh... Uhh!
- The twelfth and final
dodecathlon event.
A 500-meter dash
across the lava canyons.
Simple, except
for the obstacles,
of course.
It's lightning lad
in front.
- Oh! Here come
the obstacles!
Camden mismullion's...
Oh! Out of the running!
- Aaahhh!
Aah!
[Rumbling]
- Hyaah!
- Hunh! Huah!
- Oda buys the sand trap.
- Unh! Uhh!
- Mekt ranzz really
digging in,
Keeping pace
with lightning lad.
- Huh?
Both: aah! Unh!
- Unh!
[Beep]
- Aah-uh!
- Yaaah!
- Aah!
- Unh!
- Oh! Looks like
karl mcgrekk is in trouble.
- Unh!
Uhh-uh...
Aahhh!
- Unh!
- But would you look
at that?
There's a hero for you!
Way to go, lightning lad!
- And mekt crosses first!
[Buzzer]
- Mekt ranzz of winath
takes the gold!
Crowd: mekt! Mekt! Mekt!
- Nothin' wrong with silver,
little brother.
You should be used
to second place by now.
- Well, there's nothing
but winners here
At the intergalactic games
awards ceremony.
- That's right, frank.
I see zzok's here,
And jo nah of rimbor,
And mekt ranzz,
After the most exciting
dodecathlon
In a long time.
- As far as I'm concerned,
you won.
- Well, at least
the president's safe.
And with the force dome
they got on this place,
I doubt the fatal five
will be crashing the party.
- You know, lightning lad,
I'm really surprised
how well you're taking this.
- Obviously, you didn't see
what he did to the locker room.
- Just take your medal
and smile.
- Garth.
- Mekt.
What's that?
- No idea. I'm just
repaying a little favor.
Oh. That's not good.
- Who are these people?
- We know exactly
who they are.
The fatal five!
- I knew that judge
had it in for me.
- We've got a supervillain
brawl a-brewin' here, folks,
And it looks like
it's gonna be a doozy.
Uh, we'll be right back
After a word
from our sponsors.
- This is as far as you go,
empress.
- Hm. Superman.
So confident.
We've been having
a little contest
of our own, you know.
You remember the rules.
First one
to grab the president wins!
[Roaring]
- Aah!
- Looks like I won, boys.
Of course, it's always good
to have someone on the inside.
Right, mekt?
- Unh!
- Stay away from my mom!
- Tinya! Be...
Careful.
- Aah!
- Disintegrate him, mano.
Slowly.
- You let these guys in!
- My bad, little bro.
- Is that all you've got
to say?
- Uh, good luck?
Tharok: incidentally,
you've been charging
my system!
Yaahh!
- Unh... Ahh!
- Superman...
It's time we saw
eye to eye.
Ha ha! You don't think
I'd let you
Get away with that
twice, do you?
- Super strength!
Hunh!
Ice breath!
- Yyahh!
- No!
- You're good.
- Thanks. Invulnerable!
- Ooh, and cute.
- Looks like we're going
into overtime!
Let's win this!
- A rallying cry
from the boy in blue.
- And lightning lad's down!
-Unh!
- That's another notch
on the persuader's axe.
Waiting for lightning lad
to get up.
Our coverage of this att*ck
Is brought to you by
little deepzorg snack cakes.
Little deepzorg.
The snack that made deepzorg
famous.
- Rrah!
- Oh, and it's
camden mismullion
Back for seconds!
Ooh! And there goes
lightning lad
To finish the job!
- This fella in blue
Has got his work
cut out for him!
- Validus is one
heavy hitter. Ooh!
But here comes jo nah
of rimbor!
- Super speed!
- Unh!
- There's zzok!
And that's all for validus!
Down for the count!
- Unh!
Emerald empress:
validus, get up!
Get off me!
- And there goes
the queen of mean!
Looks like this fight
is over!
- Mekt!
- Garth, come on.
I had no idea who they were.
All I did was make a deal
with a judge
So I'd come in first...
For a change.
- Well, you did.
How's it feel?
- Eh. Here, take it.
If the judges weren't
crooks,
You might even have won.
- Keep your stolen medal.
And I hope
it always reminds you
What a jerk you are.
- Heh heh. See you around,
little bro.
- Today you've proven to us
How valuable
the legion of superheroes is
To the safety and well-being
of the united planets.
And for this, we thank you.
I'd like to honor
one legionnaire
in particular.
Not just for keeping
the galaxy safe.
I owe my life to this hero.
Thank you, superman.
- Huh?
[Applause]
- But...
- And as for you,
young lady...
I can't hang a medal
on my own daughter, dear.
It's bad politics.
You'll have to make do
with my blessing...
And my thanks.
Your friend looks good
in gold. Is he single?
- Mother, please!
- Well, now that you've
broken up with superman...
- Mom!
- Don't you worry, dear.
There are plenty
of nice boys out there.
Maybe if you changed
that costume of yours.
Something more colorful?
- Ohh...
