EPISODE 2 DR. IRWIN AND MR. METEOR

It's a catastrophe, that's what it is.

Hula-Hula, I'm meditating.

Is it an urgent catastrophe?

If it strikes our planet, it could flatten the whole city.

If what strikes our planet?

That!

That giant meteor's headed straight for Earth.

What is going on back there?

I wonder if the Chief knows about this.

Of course I do.

Our agency's already on top of it.

We've launched a missile armed with an explosive payload to intercept the meteor.

With any luck, we'll reduce it to dust before it can collide with Earth.

Certainly made short work out of that one, didn't you, Chief?

Unfortunately, no.

We failed to destroy the meteor.

But the danger's over, right?

The immediate danger, yes.

I'll keep you posted.

What did she mean, Plas ?

The immediate danger?

I'm not sure, Penny,

but I think the whole world has just been declared a falling rock zone.

Better call it a night, Irwin.

You're over exhausting yourself.

Maybe you're just settled for being a scientific genius.

Superior brain power isn't enough, McGurk.

I have to be a physical marvel too.

People have *** in my face at the beach long enough.

it's my destiny to rule the world.

You're setting your sides too hight, kid.

Take my advice.

Shop around for another destiny.

Nobody ever takes me seriously.

Dear me, I will rule the world.

May lightning strike me if I won't.

A gift from the stars.

A fragment of the famous meteor.

Look at it glow.

What power it must contain.

Its energy it's flowing into me.

I feel stronger than a hundred men!

Oh no !

Oh, my stars, the powers can wear off.

I need even more of the meteor to make the change permanent.

And I'll get it.

I'll drag the rest of that meteor down from space

and pulverize the whole city.

Then they'll take me seriously.

Oh, yes.

What's wrong, Plas ? No appetite?

You haven't touched your food.

The waiter forgot my fork.

Plas !

Plastic Man here.

What's up, Chief?

First of all, don't talk with your mouth full.

Secondly, there's a theft in progress at the Franklin Street power station.

A metal man is stealing one of the generators.

A piece of cake, Chief. We'll get right on it.

Put it on my electric bill.

The name is Mr. Meteor.

A piece of cake, huh?

More like all 12 layers, if you ask me.

Any way you slice it, he's got to be stopped.

You be careful.

I want you back in one gorgeous piece.

Hold it right there, leadfoot.

What have we here?

Oh, I see. A superhero.

Plastic Man, isn't it?

A pleasure to shake your hand.

Suffering surfboards. Can't we do something?

We're sure gonna try.

Let my hero go, you big bruiser.

Pull, Hula-Hula. Harder.

No!

A not fond of do-gooders who muck up my plans, Plastic Man.

Not that you ever stood a chance against the man of iron.

Like all humanity, you'll soon bow to Mr. Meteor as your ruler.

I never knew plastic was so hard to untie.

Plas, are you all right?

More or less. Where have you been?

We'd have gotten back sooner, but we couldn't get out of our parking space.

Well, he couldn't have gotten far either. Let's find him.

They'll be starting to search for me right about now.

But Mr. Meteor will have vanished.

When I'm touching the meteor, I'm the strongest man alive.

And when I'm not, I'm my own perfect disguise.

They'll never suspect.

But no sense pressing my luck.

The sooner I eliminate Plastic Man, the better.

This brilliant young scientist may have the answers we need, Plastic Man.

Meet Dr. Irwin Felspar.

Thank you, madam.

Plastic Man, I believe the source of your faux strength

is the meteor fragment he wears about his neck.

That's right. He glows with the same aura as the meteor.

Precisely.

To make himself even more powerful,

he surely intends to bring the rest of the meteor to Earth.

But it'll destroy the city. That meteor's the size of Rhode Island.

Which is why you must stop him.

His headquarters is atop Mount Bloom, on the outskirts of the city.

You know what to do, Plastic Man.

We're on our way, Chief. Thanks, Dr. Felspar.

You were quite convincing, madam.

I owe it all to you, Irwin. Oh, ruler of the world.

True, true. I'm also the world's greatest ventriloquist.

But now, it's time to meet our guests. All four of them.

Plastic Man, Penny, Hula-Hula, and the meteor.

Poppin' pineapples, Plas. That beam's pullin' the meteor to Earth.

So that's why he stole the generator. To power the beam.

It's the old use the generator to power the beam

to pull the meteor to destroy the city gambit.

Well, he won't get away with it.

Ready for action when you are, Mr. Meteor.

Brave words for a trapped superhero, Plastic Man.

I'm not trapped yet.

Do not toy with the master of the world, Plastic Man.

You haven't been elected yet. Nice gadget.

Does it draw flies as well as meteors?

Don't touch that.

We've got to get down there quick.

I'll get the parachutes.

My bad luck jinx strikes again.

Help!

What's that ? What did he say ?

The gang's all here despite Hula-Hula's bad luck.

You two reverse polarity on that device. That'll send the meteor back into space.

Right, Plas.

The battle is over, Plastic Man. Look above.

Plas, it's no use.

All the controls are locked. We can't turn it off.

In that case, M.M., we're all going to go together.

I hope Irwin wasn't wrong about that source of your strength.

No, not that.

Here, Penny, catch.

Who are you? Wait a minute.

Irwin !

I've got him, Plas.

Plas ?

What's happening to me?

I wasn't ready for this, but maybe we can turn it to our advantage.

Bring the ray device, Penny. It's time for some teamwork.

Wish me luck.

Good luck and let her fly.

The beam has taken the meteor with it into space.

We're safe.

Congratulations, Irwin. Your invention helped us save the city.

Oh, shut up.

Off to jail, Irwin.

Well, I hope that this is the last metal monster I ever see.

I don't want to rule the world, Plas.

Not if you'll stretch your heart and let me in.

Oh, no. It's wearing off.

Oh, well. So much for the iron glove approach.

Don't take it too hard, Penny.

For a moment there, our relationship hit meteoric heights.
