59,600 B.C.



With the help of the New Zealand hero, Tuatara and Professor Nichols, Superman and Aquaman arrive in 59,600 B.C. in Atlantis.

They believe the Time Trapper wants to sink Atlantis before they develop the technology to create the domes they need to survive when the Continent first sunk -– thus causing the virtual extinction of the modern race of Atlanteans. Just then, the ground begins to quake. Superman takes an aerial view and to his horror he sees the entire continent vibrating at a great speed. A quick scan of the continent using his super-vision confirms his suspicion. The Time Trapper has planted a device off the coast causing the massive vibrations (as a side note, this may in fact be a contributing cause to the continents eventual sinking into the Atlantic). Together with Aquaman they plunge into the Atlantic. Superman laments, wishing the Elongated Man were here to use a finger to reach through the maze of booby-trapped wires and switch the machine off. Aquaman, then uses his undersea telepathy to call someone who’ll make a fine substitute -– a pipefish! The fish successfully weaves through the maze of wires and deactivates the device. Superman then takes the device and hurls it towards the Sun, ensuring its destruction. Then, in the same manner they arrived, our heroes fade out of this time, back to late 1978.
