00:05:57,982 --> 00:05:59,692 But the Kryptonians never intended 124 00:05:59,776 --> 00:06:01,444 to imprison criminals for eternity. 125 00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:03,321 [scoffs] That would have been too cruel. 126 00:06:03,404 --> 00:06:06,282 Unfortunately, Krypton was destroyed 127 00:06:06,365 --> 00:06:07,909 when its sun exploded. 128 00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:09,410 [explosion] 129 00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:11,662 So, no Kryptonians survived 130 00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:13,289 to release the Phantom Zone prisoners 131 00:06:13,372 --> 00:06:14,540 when their sentences ended. 132 00:06:14,624 --> 00:06:16,125 So when the last Phantom Zone projector 133 00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,752 was discovered on New Genesis, 134 00:06:17,835 --> 00:06:20,588 the United Planets paroled every single inmate 135 00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:22,965 as each one had been trapped in the zone 136 00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:25,760 for over a thousand years. 137 00:06:25,843 --> 00:06:27,970 When my parents were unjustly imprisoned 138 00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,139 in the Phantom Zone, not even my mother knew 139 00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:32,100 that she was already pregnant. 140 00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,894 As no one ages or dies there, 141 00:06:34,977 --> 00:06:37,855 she had the honor of unknowingly carrying 142 00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:41,651 the scion of General Dru-Zod for a millennium. 143 00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:46,030 Eight months after their parole in the 31st century, 144 00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:47,615 I arrived. 145 00:06:47,698 --> 00:06:49,784 The frightened bureaucrats of the United Planets 146 00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:51,244 had settled all of us 147 00:06:51,327 --> 00:06:52,829 on the Kryptonian colony world, Daxam, 148 00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:54,831 a planet orbiting a red sun, 149 00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:57,333 thus preventing us from gaining the powers 150 00:06:57,416 --> 00:06:58,876 that were our birthright. 151 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,671 But they didn't count on my father's ingenuity. 152 00:07:01,754 --> 00:07:03,506 By the time I turned 15, 153 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:05,341 he'd smuggled his loyal followers 154 00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:07,385 along with like-minded Daxamites 155 00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:10,638 to a nearby planet under a yellow sun. 156 00:07:10,721 --> 00:07:12,431 Now that we have our rightful powers, 157 00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:14,100 my father made a valiant attempt 158 00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:16,102 to lead a rebellion against the United Planets 159 00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:17,979 for the good of the Galaxy. 160 00:07:18,062 --> 00:07:19,772 General Zod was a menace, 161 00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:22,024 determined to assert his dominance 162 00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,277 over everyone and everything. 163 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,529 Fortunately, the newly formed 164 00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,781 Legion of Super Heroes defeated Zod 165 00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:30,908 with very Phantom Zone projector 166 00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:32,869 that had released him from prison. 167 00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:34,829 The damn Legion put my parents 168 00:07:34,912 --> 00:07:37,498 and their army of patriots back into the Zone, 169 00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:39,834 depriving the galaxy of true leadership. 170 00:07:39,917 --> 00:07:42,211 But because Lor-Zod was still a teenager, 171 00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,505 they didn't consider him culpable, 172 00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,048 and to our sorrow, 173 00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,509 he wasn't sent to the Zone. 174 00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:51,804 I was raised to despise the Family El. 175 00:07:51,888 --> 00:07:53,389 Chief Scientist Jor-El 176 00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:56,434 had exposed my father's attempt to save Krypton 177 00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:57,935 from its own weakness. 178 00:07:58,019 --> 00:08:00,396 Meaning Zod had attempted a coup. 179 00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:02,064 Call it what you will. 180 00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:05,526 What is certain is that Jor-El conspired with his brother, 181 00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:07,111 Chief Examiner Zor-El, 182 00:08:07,195 --> 00:08:09,780 to sentence my parents to the Zone. 183 00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,240 I didn't think I could hate anyone 184 00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:12,783 as much as I hated the Els. 185 00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:16,329 But now, there was the Legion. 186 00:08:16,412 --> 00:08:17,872 Lor-Zod was relentless 187 00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:20,041 in his attempts to acquire the projector. 188 00:08:20,124 --> 00:08:21,500 Finally, 189 00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:24,754 the Legion had no choice but to destroy it. 190 00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,714 The Legion had permanently consigned 191 00:08:26,797 --> 00:08:30,176 my mother and father to the hell of the Phantom Zone. 192 00:08:30,259 --> 00:08:31,552 And this Legion, 193 00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:34,764 who do you think inspired its very existence? 194 00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:36,766 Superboy, Kon-El, 195 00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:39,101 a member of that accursed El family. 196 00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:40,978 That made him twice my enemy. 197 00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,521 So planning ahead, 198 00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:46,776 I stole the last known sample of kryptonite 199 00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:48,945 and this Time-Sphere. 200 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:52,156 [Saturn girl] So Chameleon Boy, Phantom Girl, and I 201 00:08:52,240 -->

00:08:59,288 --> 00:09:00,623 Making the three of you immune 205 00:09:00,706 --> 00:09:02,333 to the changes Lor made to the timestream. 206 00:09:02,416 --> 00:09:04,335 Been there, irradiated by that. 207 00:09:04,418 --> 00:09:06,587 We tried to contact Legion HQ. 208 00:09:06,671 --> 00:09:09,215 But there was no Legion HQ. 209 00:09:09,298 --> 00:09:11,509 A quick data search of the new
