Rocket was saved from oblivion in the collapsing boom tube last week by falling into Metron’s storage unit, where he gave her a repaired and pre-programmed time sphere to thank her for her work and also he was doing a little experiment. This also closes off Lor Zod’s time loop. She reminds us that she’s pregnant as she is flown by the eye through space to a new planet: Daxam, a near-Krypton populated in the 31st century by some of the crappiest people in the universe, with all the powers of a Kryptonians, only their weakness was to lead and not kryptonite. Miss Martian snaps Superboy out of his Phantom Zone-induced fog and breaks the minds of most of the Zod clan, paving the way for a win for the good guys, and as most of the Zods are being zapped back to the Zone by a reconstituted Danny Chase, the Emerald Eye of Ekron powers up and pulls Ursa off of Earth. The sheer amount of Legion stuff in this episode was, for an old Legion fanboy, an absolute delight. As you’ll recall, Phantom Girl, Saturn Girl, and Chameleon Lad have been hanging around The Team since the end of last season, trying to repair the timeline that had been destroyed by Lor Zod’s meddling to save his parents. I’m not sure if this was seeding plots for the future as much as it was closing off the Legion of Super-Heroes’ story in the 21st century. As I see it, there are three possibilities, which we’ll tackle from least to most likely. What Phantoms wrapped up, a theoretical Young Justice season 5 might build around.
“Death and Rebirth” capped a string of excellent episodes with some of the best action this show has ever seen, and the back half of the season very nearly made up for how shaky the first half was.Īs with all superhero media, though, the end of one story opened up multiple possibilities for the future. Y oung Justice: Phantoms closed out its season in strong fashion. This article contains Young Justice: Phantoms spoilers.
