Adam Strange and Val-El in “Unfinished Business”

Adam Strange

I can feel like you, like... I can really feel you. It feels just like real old man skin.

Val-El

Because I am real, not the hologram you knew from the Fortress. I'm back from the Phantom Zone.

Adam Strange

Oh. That explains the really leathery skin and the old man smell.

Val-El

Where have you been the last six months?

Adam Strange

I went back... to the future. Only the world I went back to wasn't the world I left. On account of the same jackass running your planet, conquered mine. Oh, it gets better. Sometime after that, Brainiac decided to bottle my hometown.

Val-El

Brainiac?

Adam Strange

Yeah, him.
