Chris and
Cindy squeeze a volcano and end up in a parallel world! Okay, they don’t do
that, but Superman does, in the classic World’s Greatest Super Friends episode,
“Universe of Evil”! Our Man of Steel must contend with some devil-worshipping
Super Enemies, while his evil counterpart makes mincemeat out of our Super
Friends. It’s childlike, nonsensical awesomeness!
Then the
Super Mates get a little more serious and review the even more classic Justice
League episodes, “A Better World, Parts 1 and 2”. Superman murders President
Luthor? The Justice League takes over the world? Not quite, but the Justice
Lords do, and they want to spread their order to our world (or the Justice
League’s anyway). It’s the “evil universe” trope colored in very
thought-provoking shades of gray!
Plus, has
an evil twin invaded Super Mates HQ (in other words, our house)?
