Adam StrangeSo you're telling me that there is an elevator that goes all the way from Krypton to Wegthor?
A Hypersonic Orbital Tether, yes. We've used it before to get our people up there, quite successful. Well, you will be joining us, won't you? After what you saw in the future, you should understand better than anyone. We have to stop Zod on Wegthor before it's too late. Well, you must understand...
Adam Strange
God damn it, Val, of course I understand. I just happen to think that Seg is our best chance of defeating Zod.
I miss my grandson more than you will ever know, but there is simply no way of reaching him without my Phantom Projector.
Adam Strange
What if I told you that I didn't need your Phantom Projector to find Seg?
I would ask you to explain yourself.
Adam Strange
My Zeta-Beam Device.
You do understand the Phantom Zone is outside space and time as we know it.
Adam Strange
Exactly. Wait, you're saying that's bad?
I'm saying if you try and teleport into the Phantom Zone, your body would probably deconstructed at a molecular level and your atoms scattered throughout the galaxy. I'm sorry. It just won't work.
Adam Strange
Well, not with an attitude like that, it won't. The meaning of this symbol that you wear change while I was away. You can't just give up on them.
I'm an El. We never give up.
Adam Strange
And I'm a Strange, and we don't give up either. Not anymore, and you know why? Because of your grandson. Seg showed how powerful hope can be. Besides, you don't even know if he's still in the Phantom Zone, do you?
No. No, I don't. But the risk is...
Adam Strange
Mine to worry about.
My fellow Kryptonians, six months ago, we came together to face the dawn of a new era. I stood before you, a man from the future, with a vision for the future to rebuild a Krypton unrecognizable in its perfection. I knew only unity and equality would heal our divisions and secure our future. And now I offer my gratitude.
Adam Strange
[landing in an alley] Ooh. Oh, god damn it, right in the johnson.
Because while I may have led our efforts, it is by your own strength that today, Krypton is indeed unrecognizable. And perfection lies within our grasp. We are now ready to claim our rightful place amongst the stars and fulfill our duty of promoting Kryptonian exceptionalism as rulers of the galaxy. To those anarchic separatists on Wegthor, know that through the toil, courage, and sacrifices of true Kryptonians, we will crush your treacherous rebellion. And there has been no more noble a sacrifice than that of my father, Seg-El, who gave his life so that we may all see a better tomorrow.
Adam Strange
I don't understand. You built the projector thingy for the Phantom Zone, but you can't get Seg out?
Zod destroyed my Projector. I tried to rebuild it, but then Zod seized the Fortress.
Adam Strange
Wow, things really went sideways while I was gone, huh? That's all right. I'm back now. And I have a plan. [seeing their looks] All right, I don't have a plan, but I could totally come up with one.
That won't be necessary. We already have a plan. Wegthor.
Adam Strange
[sotto to Jax-Ur] Is that the safe word?
It's a moon. One of three orbiting Krypton, but the only one with a completely self-sufficient, fully sustainable colony; Krypton's only city-state not under Zod's rule, and the home of our resistance.
Adam Strange
Surprised you guys have been able to pull a resistance together. From what I've seen, everybody seems to be digging the new Kandor.
Because Zod freed the Rankless to distract the people from what was really going on.
Adam Strange
That's weird. Huh.
Adam Strange
Uh, the magnetic field on this planet seems to be messing with the settings. We should probably get to higher ground
What, "we should probably get to higher..."? That's what we're gonna do?
Adam Strange
Hey, give me a break. It works fine for one person. It'll work for two.
No, see, this is what screwed everything up in the first place. You show up half-cocked, you don't have a plan...
Adam Strange
Hey, first of all, I am fully cocked. And secondly... I don't have a second thing yet, just... just give me a minute.
Seg-El: Well, I could...
Adam Strange
[they hear something howl] Uh... do you think that we should, you know, stick around for... [seeing Seg has fled] God damn it.
The name's Lobo. [Adam coughs] Thank you! So you have heard of me, yeah? So then you'll know what my name means, yes? No? It means "he who devours his enemies' entrails and enjoys it." [laughs] I'm just jerkin' your gherkin, man. I have no idea what it means. I killed my parents before they could tell me, so...
Listen, uh, Lobo. Uh, we don't want to waste your time. So I got to tell, I think you got the wrong guys.
I know I've got the wrong fraggin' guys! I know. It's why I'm going to use your intestines to strangle this saucy little minx. [motions to Adam] And then I'm going to crack open his head and drop a big old dirty deuce inside his skull.
Adam Strange
I'm-I'm sorry. I'm having a really hard time here understanding how those connect.
I mean, just the sheer fraggin' spectacle of it all out to loosen up old Seagull's tongue over there so he can tell me where the frag the Green Goosh is!
Wait! Wait. Let me just say one thing.
Is it good-bye? Better make it good-bye. It'd make more sense if it was good-bye.
How about Brainiac? That's who you're looking for right? The Green Gooch? It's Brainiac.
You know, I've been spending a long time looking for that a-hole. And then something activates the shithead scanner I left here, and when I arrive, what do I find? You two ass-smears and no Brainiac. Now, why is that?
Because he's dead. I killed him.
You? With your long eyelashes and your beautiful, soft skin and that smell - you smell like a meadow, nah.
Adam Strange
It's a true story. I-I can vouch for him.
I can take you to the body if you want.
Counter-proposal - you tell me where his body is, or I'll paint the forest floor with your medulla oblongata.
No, no, no, no, no. That's not going to happen. See, we're going to take you to the body, you're going to let us go, and noting is going to get painted. Huh? Sound like a deal?
Fine! Have it your way. But fair fraggin' warning. If there is no body there when I arrive, best believe there will be two when I leave... as in you and pretty pants over there.
Adam Strange
Maybe just a little bit! But I un-deaded you!
Adam Strange
Hey, calm down! Look, we're here. We made it back, right? Maybe not in the heart of Kandor, but it's not that far, right?
I can't believe I was dead.
Adam Strange
And I'm dead tired of hearing you talk about it. Besides, we got a lot of work to do. We got to defeat a tyrant, free a planet, remember?
Adam Strange
Hey, it's what us superheroes do. No days off.
Doesn't look like he's doing much of anything to me.
Adam Strange
What the hell?
[regenerating on the floor] Down low, dipshit. Boo. Told you I was coming for you.
Adam Strange
No freakin' way.
Yes, freakin' way. You see, if a mother fragger won't come to the Main Man, then the Main man will come to the mother fragger.
