Countdown to Final Crisis: Difference between revisions

* [[Jimmy Olsen]] ends up [[Superpower Silly Putty|developing superpowers]] and tries to become a superhero -- or at least find out why he has them. [[Weirdness Magnet|In typical Jimmy Olsen fashion]], he soon gets sucked into an investigation into the death of the [[New Gods]], winds up toe-to-toe with Darkseid, and [[Coitus Ensues|has sex with a bug girl.]]

* [[The Flash|The Trickster and Pied Piper]] go undercover to gather info on the other Rogues, and get framed for murder. They wind up in a situation not unlike "The Defiant Ones" save for a surplus of homophobic potshots and unpleasantry.

* [[Legion of Super-Heroes|Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl]] end up stranded in the past because Karate Kid's infected with a strange virus; they try to find a cure.{{spoiler|..unsuccesfully. Both of them die}}.

* The Monitors mull over whether or not they should intervene, before ultimately taking actions that are... morally questionable.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Jimmy Olsen gave us a rather impressive variant; When Ray Palmer crawls into his brain to give Jimmy control over his superpowers, allowing Jimmy to transform and rescue Superman, who had been exposed to a healthy dose of Kryptonite Jimmy by Darkseid.

* [[BLAM Episode]]: The entire series, depending on who you ask, but special mention goes to Paul Dini's issue, in which Superman-Prime imprisoned and tortured Mr. Mxyzptlk with the help of a [[Mirror Universe]] Zatanna, only to have her do a [[Heel Face Turn]] and [[Redemption Equals Death]] free the imp.

* [[Character Filibuster]]: Solomon the Monitor spends half the series repeatedly hijacking the Monitors' conference with constant, doom-prophesying horror stories about ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', in order to convince the other Monitors that they have to kill Bob and stop his interdimensional joyride, justify his murder of Duela Dent, and get everyone to help him wipe out all the people who were originally from Earth-2 and the other [[Pre Crisis]] parallel universes.

* [[City of Adventure]]: Metropolis.
