JUSTICE LEAGUE

REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN

SUPERBOY

Superman's death has been felt the world over. Many members of the Justice League have either retired or left the organization. There has been a rise in crime around the world and old rivalries between once peaceful nations has risen again. The countries of Bialya and Markovia are threatening war once again.

Super Villain Lex Luthor has turned State's evidence against the Legion of Doom in exchange for a full pardon. He was captured by Batman and turned over to the State Department for prosecution. The super criminals, Gorilla Grog, White Banshee, Mister Freeze, Bizarro, Volcana, Rampage, Slade, Killer Frost, Deadshot, Slade, Giganta, Toyman, and Weather Wizard, were all captured in a raid led by Batman and the Justice League.

BATMAN

"Where am I?" Lex Luthor asks.

"Justice League black site."

"Of course…What do you want?'

"The Light!"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Vandal Savage…Queen Bee, Black Manta, Lex Luthor, Ultra Humanite, Zoom…All members of Vandel Savage's Light organization. Talk, you baldheaded scum!"

"Truly you are the World's Greatest Detective."

There is an explosion and Black Manta troops attack, led by Sport's Master and his daughter Chesire Cat. "Get Luther, the Bat is mine!" Sport's Master says. As Batman and Sport's Master fight. The Question and Huntress appear.

"Dad! Time to go!" They escape with Luthor.

"This is Batman to Metamorpho…Abort your post."

"Why?"

"Lex Luthor escaped."

METROPOLIS

It is a cool Spring night the stars are out. That is when a sound vibrates like glass shattering and a portal of cosmic glass opens. From the portal General Zod emerges and falls from the sky. Falling from fifteen feet high he hits the ground cracking it. As the sun rises some homeless stand over Zod's unconscious body.

"Ya think he dead?" A man asks.

"Who cares! Look at them fancy boots." The other man says.

"No look at that. That looks like the thing Superman us'ta wear…Ya know the big S in the upside down pyramid,"

Zod's eyes pop open and glows red, he kills one man with his heat vision. "Oh my god!" The other man screams as his friend is cut in half from the left hip to his right shoulder. Zod gets to his feet and grabs the other man by the throat. "Please don't kill me."

"A yellow sun. I am back on the planet Earth. Where is Kal'El?"

"Who?"

"The Kryptonian mongrel you call Superman!"

"Superman is dead."

"How did he die?"

"A creature called Doomsday killed him." He snaps his neck and tosses the man aside. Zod floats up and flies off towards the Mountains near Metropolis City.

"Hello Zod…"

"Who are you?"

"I am known by many names. You may call me Vandel Savage."

"What do you want human? My patience has it's limits."

"I am immortal…And for thousands of years I have been trying to tame this unruly planet…It was I who freed you from the Phantom Zone…Together you and I can rule this world and eventually the Galaxy."

"I am General Dru of House Zod! I have no equal! I am meant to rule! Now kneel before Zod or die!"

"Have you no honor…I did after all free you from the Phantom Zone. Surely a superior being as yourself can see the benefits of working together."

"Perhaps."

CONNOR

Connor stands in front a mirror wearing Kryptonian garb. His shirt is white with sigil El in black on it. He wears a black leather jacket over it. Connor's pants are black with red in it and he wears red boots. "Look out world…Here comes Superboy." He says putting on a pair of sunglasses and flies out of the window heading for Metropolis.

He lands on the edge of a tall building, closes his eyes, and listens to the city. A woman screams and speeds off like a rocket. When Connor arrives he finds a man holding a knife to a woman's throat. "Excuse me."

"Oh look at this a Superman wannabe…Buzz off freakshow."

"Did you just call me a freakshow? You know I was gonna take it easy on you…Now…" In a burst of speed he grabs the woman away from the man.

"Alright Superbrat, now you die!" When he stabs him, the blade shatters. "Holy shit!"

Connor grabs him by the shirt, "Tell all your friends about me…I'm Superboy!" He says changing his voice to sound like Batman. Then he plucks him with his finger knocking him out. He flies off and spots a truck. He x-rays the truck and inside are girls of all ages. "Sex trafficking."

Superboy flies up to the back of the truck and opens it. "Hi ladies…Um everybody hold hands." He flies them out of the truck and lands them by a church. Then he returns to the truck and locks himself inside. When they open the door he waves.

"What the fuck?"

"Oh you guys work for Intergang."

"Kill him!"

One man blasts the truck with a plasma destroyer. "No way Apokolipton weapons…That tickles. Try mine out." He blows the gun up with his heat vision. Another man is wearing a battle suit. He uses a metal coil to grab Superboy and then he slams him into the ground over and over again. On the sixth swing Superboy stops the man and pulls him over smashing the man and his battle suit into the ground.

His watch alarm goes off, "Whoops…Time to get back." He flies off at Superspeed back to Smallville Kansas and the Kent Farm. He opens the window to find Martha Kent waiting. "Hi ma."

"Don't high Ma me! Where have you been?"

"Doing what I can. I'm Superboy! Tonight I stopped a sex trafficking ring, an Intergang arms deal, and a rape." She sighs and leaves the room. The next morning they talk about it more at breakfast. Then Connor goes to school. As a student Connor is a showoff. He gets good grades, but is the class clown. He has the Luthor arrogance and Kal'El's sense of honor.

After school he does his homework and flies off to Bialya, interfering in the war. He faces off against Queen Bee's lackies; Rampage, Giganta, and White Banshee defeating them all. Meanwhile the Justice League fights a Superpowered version of the Royal Flush Gang. As they do a new villain named Red Son attacks the Cadmus facility holding members of the Legion of Doom. Red Son wears black and red Kryptonian Armor. There are red glowing lines running across his body, red boots and gloves. His helmet has red glowing slits for the eyes. All the lines converge on his chest to form the Kryptonian Glyph for House Zod.

Red Son smashes through the wall and kills people with his heat vision. He floats through the facility to the to control center, where he turns off all the cell shields. Then he floats to a large metal door. He rips the door off the hinges to release Bizarro.

"?Who am you"

"I am your enemy."

"?You am enemy…Me hate you."

That is when Superboy smashes through the building with his feet and smashes Zod down to the lower levels. "Dude are you thee Zod?" He picks Zod up and punches him. Zod goes flying through three walls and then up to the surface of the parking lot.

"?Why you attack my enemy"

"Him no enemy…Him friend."

"You lie!"

"Okay you got me…" Superboy points, "What the hell is that?"

Bizarro looks back, "?What the hell is where"

Superboy punches him and Bizarro goes flying up smashing through floors above. "Boy you really are dumb." That is when he is tackled by Zod.

"You wear the emblem of El! You will die!" He says slamming Superboy into the wall. He lunches him four times, breaking his sun glasses. That is when Superboy kicks him in between the legs. He snatches the water pipe off the wall and drenches Zod. Then he blows his super-breath on him.

"You am friend! Me like you so much!"

Bizarro grabs Superboy and flies up into the air. As they fly Superboy slips out of his jacket. Then he sticks his tongue out and blasts Bizarro with his heat vision. Zod flies at him and punches Superboy. Bizarro joins him and the two pummel Superboy.

That is when Supergirl grabs Bizarro by the cape and spins him around throwing him towards a train yard. "Zod!" Supergirl says blasting him with her heat vision. Superboy gets his second wind and adds his power to hers.

"Aunty!" Superboy says flying beside her. They are joined by Hal Jordan. John Stewart gave up his ring marries Hawk Girl and retires from the League. They are also joined by Hawkman, Zatanna, Martian Manhunter, and Red Tornado.

"Go home kid we we'll handle this."

"But!"

"Go!" He flies off in anger.

"Superboy…Your Aunt is too busy to hear this, but you can…Come to Lex Towers we need to talk."

He lands on the roof where Lex Luthor is waiting. "Hello baldie!"

He smiles, "My you have a sharp tongue…I will let that slide considering. I thought your human DNA would interfere with your Kryptonian powers…But they have not."

"My human DNA? What are you talking about?"

"You are my son."

He grabs Luthor by the shirt and lifts him off his feet, "You lying bald piece of shit!"

"I weakened Superman with Kryptonite and took his blood. I used half to make Bizarro and the other half to make you…combined with my DNA. I artificially inseminated you into Miss Tesmacher…She turned State's evidence against me in exchange for immunity…You don't believe me." Mercy hands him the documents. Superboy places the him down and reads the file. He shakes his head as tears fall down his cheeks. "See you are as much my son as Superman's son."

Superboy burns the files with his heat vision and flies off. "Why didn't the Kryptonite work?" Mercy asks.

"His human DNA must be protecting him from it."

At top speed Superboy flies home and as he approaches the Kent farm, he slows down, "Ma! Pa!" He yells and the two come running into the kitchen.

"Connor…Why are you yelling?"

"Is it true?"

"Is what true?"

"Lex Luthor! Do I share DNA with Lex Luthor!" When they don't answer right away he slowly sits down. "So it is true. The two of you have been lying to me all my life."

"Connor…Clark asked us to watch over you…You are more his son than Luthor's."

He stands up, rips off the S like glyph, runs out of the House and flies off. Many hours later Supergirl finds him sitting on the ledge of a building. "Connor."

"Did you know?"

She sighs, "Yes, Clark told me. I told him that you deserved to know the truth…He told me that he was afraid that you would turn out like Luthor."

"I love you…The Kents love you…"

"Do you know where my mother is?" He leaps off the building and flies to Ontario, Canada. He lands and knocks on the door.

"Yes."

"Hello Mother."
