The Super Friends: A Short Intro to the

Batman, Superman and

Wonder Woman Trinity, What Do

You Get For the Superman Who Has Everything?!

by

Mark Walt Meredith

This is the prosaic retelling of The Justice League Unlimiteds' television cartoon episode, "For the Man Who Has Everything." It is the anniversary of Clark Kent's Kryptonian FirstDay and a grateful alien race teleports Kal El a mysterious present: an alien magickal parasite! _Wonder Woman and the Batman Bruce Wayne have to fight the alien responsible for putting Kent El the Superman in a coma!

Warning, I like to capital, underline titles like the titles uv super powered heroes names like advertisements of the latest graphic comic reprints so you could see what characters r in th' essay. You, perhaps, may want t' buy the reprint of this story, y'know. (who knows?!) I like, also, to artistically change every letter with boldface: Italics: capitals: underline: etc.: in addition, this way it all might sound in the mind the way I would read it to you, maybe.

Perhaps it makes me merely seem nuts. That's for you to decide.

*'FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING' THE

PSYCHOLOGY OF SUPERMAN, A SPECIAL EDITION*

by

*Mark Walter Meredith*

Was once an animated episode of the Justice League Unlimited cartoon series that was based on a special extra yearly edition, the Superman Company's 11th straight year of doing that tradition, written and drawn by the writer of The League-of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the people that made the Watchmen comic book. The title of the comic book story and the cartoon was called "For the Man Who has Everything." The story of this article, though, begins before the sixties. In, Superman's, comics for the sole reason of drama, the writers of Superman comic books decided to make, Superman: Kal: dramatically wish that, Superman had lived on Krypton: for all of, Superman's, life instead of living on Earth.

Superman Kent Kal was dramatically sad all of the time: Superman was tormented by this wish. The problem with this idea is that all the people that read Superman's comic books thought that eventually this shtick got old: soon enough: and eventually it all became just depressing!!

By the sixties Clark had placed an iron fort door on, Kal's, the Solitude Fort and that was the only door that Kent let most people know of: but Kent left a door open for his friends: and the holy trinity of, Superman, comic's company was coming to the Fort: Solitude for Kent's Kryptonian First-day.

Ms. Prince and, Bruce Wayne, the Batman, were coming over to celebrate, Superman's, birthday with Kent.

Then Kent went to open a present from a supposedly grateful alien race that, Superman, had once protected.

So Ms. Prince and, Bruce, showed up at the Fort: Solitude to help celebrate El's birthday celebration which, Superman, found out from a memory device Mr. Kent Superman created with, Superman's, super intellect and used on El's self to find Kent's first memories on Krypton.

Bruce, and Ms. Prince came bearing gifts: but what do you get for the man who has everything?! _Ms. Prince's and, the Batman's, question was answered when they walked deeper into the Fort: Solitude and saw, Superman: a victim of a parasite: standing before Ms. Prince and Bruce: hindered from the effects of a parasitical creature: was an open alien canister that could have been a biohazard containment cylinder: and an extraterrestrial! Set of flowers and a ball of tentacles taking root in El's chest. Kent in Kent's: Superman outfit stood up straight there staring at nothingness.

Ms. Prince: being a creature of magic Wonder Woman's self: felt the plant with Wonder Woman's fingers and could feel the magic in the roses.

Bruce, DIS-attached a rounded cylinder from, the Batman's, Utility Belt that had a small light-beam coming out of one side and, Bruce, shone the light in one of Kent's eyes to see if Kent's pupils narrowed a little: and they didn't and, Bruce, said that, Superman, was in Kent's own little world now.

Superman, heard, Bruce, though: even if it was in just a subconscious way.

In Kent's mind in, Superman's, paradise: as some people say, "The pot began to sour."

El's, subconscious began to change El's fondest dream: into a nightmare.

Ms. Prince noted that Kent was renown throughout the universe as the greatest super hero and had received presents from alien races before: for defending other planets.

Bruce, brought up the point that, Superman, might have a teleportation device that: races: from other planets send alien gifts with on Kent's Kryptonian First-day.

Inside El's mind: the parasite alien was putting Kent into a standing coma and making, Superman, blissfully dream El's fondest desire: to be alive on Krypton.

Jor El was a scientist genius whose knowledge of Krypton's impending explosion seemed to turn out erroneous.

Kent was married to Llyra Llerrol: the Krypton-woman that Kent had once gone back in time before Krypton's demise: and met romantically before. Did someone ask, "What do you get for the Superman that has everything?"

Naturally: you get the man who has everything: something, which, Superman, can never have.

El's father had been thrown out of the Science Council that ruled Krypton: supposedly two years after Jor made Jor's insane theory about Krypton being destroyed and it didn't come true. Superman was coming to El's home as the red sun was setting through the diamond mountain ranges of Krypton: that were on the horizon. Kent had two children with Llyra Kal-El: called Orna Kal-El and Van-El. As, Bruce, and Ms. Prince struggled to figure out how this had happened the extraterrestrial Mongul walked up behind Ms. Prince and, Bruce, and said that the Black Mercy was a telepathic plant/fungus that was feeding off Kent's life force.

Mongul stated that, Bruce was correct about how Superman had a teleportation device.

Kent: El was a geologist much like Kent's biological father.

SPECIAL EDI'

The extraterrestrial enemy finished putting on a pair of gloves with circuitry mechanisms on them and condescendingly pat the insensate, Superman, on the head twice and then pets the parasitical organism.

Mongul even put Mongul 's outstretched finger under El's chin as if to tickle his chin and say, koochy-Kuuchy coo: Mongul then turned towards, Bruce, and Ms. Prince and took off Mongul's circuitry glove mechanisms to crouch down as if Mongul were talking to a child condescendingly and not specifically, Bruce. The evil alien brought up that Earth tradition said that women and children didn't die first so which one of, Bruce, and Ms. Prince was Mongul supposed to kill first to be polite? Ms. Prince: being an Amazon warrior volunteered by walking up to the crouching Mongul and jumping up to deliver a smashing punch to Mongul's head. Mongul's head jerked aback with the mighty blow.

_ Mongul grabbed Wonder Woman's head to begin the battle. Mongul said that that the only way that, Superman, could get rid of the parasitic organism was to give up El's fondest dream become true. In the TV, cartoon version: El's alien enemy had suggested that Kent was dreaming in Kent's coma: dreaming of taking over the worlds of Kent's universe. Mongul probably said this because Mongul assumed that everybody was like Mongul deep down inside: which is what insensitive persons think: in order to try to convince themselves that they are not jerks psychologically: I find.

_ Mongul smashed Ms. Prince through a wall punching Ms. Prince into the armory. Ms. Prince picked up a huge Neural Impacter cannon with Wonder Woman's super strength and shot Mongul in the body so the energies would conduct through his body into Mongul's brain and DIS-COORDINATE Mongul's neurons in Mongul's brain: throwing-off Mongul's coordination and evening the odds out in the fight. The Neural Impacter had no effect on the super strong giant and Mongul open-palmed Wonder Woman's head into a wall.

Kent's biological father Jor wished deep down inside that Krypton had exploded. After Jor's theorized explosion that didn't happen Jor was forced to resign from the Science Council, Lara 'El soon after died from a sickness and Jor thought that Jor could have kept their world the way Krypton was before the drug Hell-blossom was invented if Jor was still leading Krypton.

Jor was working with a religious faction of extremists so that Jor could rule the planet once again. Ms. Prince: Wonder Woman soon found out that Ms. Prince was out of Wonder Woman's league. As Ms. Prince fought Mongul and kept Mongul busy: Bruce, tried to talk to, Superman, and tell, Superman, to wake up and deep down inside, Superman, could understand what, Bruce, was saying.

Kent took El's child Van to a crater in Father El's flying automobile where Kandor City used to be and as, Superman, knew deep inside that it wasn't real, Superman, told Van good-by as Van said that Van wanted Father El and Van to go back to Mother Llyra Kal-El. Meanwhile, Bruce was attempting to yank the biohazard organism off. Bruce, was telling the other super hero that was in the battle with Mongul that perhaps a pair of mechanism-circuitry laden gloves that Mongul was wearing when Mongul was talking to them at first: and Mongul was touching the parasite organism with and took them off: perhaps the heroes could use them to simply take the parasite off easily. While, Bruce, thought aloud to the other super hero in the battle, Bruce, was pulling on the parasite biohazard-organism without the circuitry-laden gloves: feeling the parasite organism gives a little. _Superman, bodily rejected the parasitical organism that was connected to Kent: almost as if it were a transplant organ of the wrong kind of animal.

Bruce began to get a little obsessed with pulling the fungus organism off, Superman, when the parasitical organism was rejected and came out.

The wind began to pick up and blow the layer of dust at the bottom of crater into a dust storm that began to make Van look like Van was disappearing.

Meredith-10 'FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING' THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUPERMAN, A

SPECIAL EDI'

Kent knew that Kent's dream was coming to an end and Van was being separated from Kent El by the sudden wind that was kicking up a lot of the dust and, Superman, wanted to hug El's son: that Kent always wanted to have on Krypton: even though Kent knew that Van was not real.

Kent and Van both reached out to grab the other's hand both beyond each other's reach as Van became just a blur in the dust storm and was lost to sight. When the dust cleared Kent was standing in the Fort: Solitude staring into space with El's hands hanging loosely and helplessly at Kent's sides but, Superman, continued staring at nothing for a moment: devastated emotionally before Kent began to get angrier than Kent had ever gotten before in El's life.

The thorny tendrils wrapped around, the Batman's, forearms purposefully and willingly by the parasitical fungus-plant as it reverse articulated itself and clamped onto: Bruce: the parasite creature organism grabbing, Bruce, by the chest with the parasite's fungus vines hugging, the Batman's, barrel chest tightly to the biohazard organism.

The Caped Crusader stood there with the parasite organism in the Crusader's two hands. The Crusader said seemingly to the Crusader's self, Bruce, don't let it get hold of you: then the Crusader said aloud to the Crusader's self, oh, no. I [cannot] handle this.

The Crusader finally noticed Kent stepping up raising El's fists up from El's sides with every muscle in, Superman's, body and face tensed in rage.

Kent said quietly, who: did this: to me?

The Crusader uttered the word: superman.

The Crusader said, Superman? Are you O.K? You look sort of, uh:

Meredith-12 'FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING' THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUPERMAN, A

SPECIAL EDI'

Superman: knew who it was: and said intensely one name, Mongul:

Bruce, in a comatose dream grew to adulthood and married Batwoman Kathy Kane. Mongul heard that, Superman, had come out of El's coma and Mongul was about to punch Ms. Prince in the face as Ms. Prince hung from Mongul's left fist by the end of Wonder Woman's long hair in Mongul's fist. Ms. Prince fell from Mongul's opening hand to the ground for half a second as, Superman, flew at super speed around the outside of the Hall of Weapons room to the opposite side of that armory: behind Mongul: Kent: El facing Mongul's back. At super-speed, Superman flew though the back wall at such speed that the stonewall was crushed to powder just before, Superman: as Kent flew through it.

Superman flew through the wall and with El's fists ramming Mongul in the back knocking Mongul forward onto the ground. Mongul lie on the floor in front of Kent as, Superman, walked towards Mongul for retribution: as, Superman, ordered Mongul to, get up.

The Crusader managed to find the mechanism gloves and pull the parasite organism off of Bruce's chest: and at first the Crusader didn't know where to put the parasite plant: but then thought of the perfect place to put it.

Mongul with one hand picked up the smaller, Superman, aimed down at Mongul to singe Mongul's shoulder with Kent's laser-like heat vision and Mongul delivered a thundering left to El's chest knocking Kent through a wall into the Computer Room. Mongul was about to hit, Superman, with a right and the Crusader behind Mongul said, uh, excuse me: Mongul turned sideways and looked at the Crusader in shock and horror. _The Crusader continued: but I think this is yours and the Crusader threw the parasitical roses onto Mongul's barrel-like chest:
