Super Sonic DOMINATES Darkseid in Comic DC x Sonic #4
The Battle Against Darkseid’s Resurgence
As Darkseid's forces rally across the fractured battlefield, Superman and Wonder Woman spearhead a desperate counteroffensive to prevent the tyrannical New God from regaining his full power. The conflict reaches a critical juncture when The Flash successfully secures a glowing Chaos Emerald, only for the battle to intensify as enemy reinforcements swarm their position. Meanwhile, Cyborg's advanced systems detect alarming energy fluctuations emanating from the Emerald, his scanners revealing two terrifying possibilities - the artifact's unstable power could potentially forge a dimensional wormhole for their escape, or if mishandled, trigger a catastrophic chain reaction that would consume them all. "DON'T LET HIM REGAIN CONTROL!" Superman bellows as he deflects a blast of Omega Energy, his warning underscoring their razor-thin margin for error. Ever the improviser, The Flash vibrates between enemy strikes while theorizing "MAYBE I CAN USE ITS POWER TO MAKE US AN ESCAPE TUNNEL!", though even his super-speed calculations can't predict the consequences of tampering with the Emerald's reality-warping energies.
Pages 5–6: Planetary Collapse and the Chaos Emerald Gambit
Chaos Across Dimensions: Sonic's Earth on the Brink
The battlefield shifts to Sonic’s Earth, where Darkseid’s Ragna Rock dimensional engine wreaks havoc, distorting space-time and threatening to tear the planet apart. Gravity fluctuates unpredictably, landmasses fracture, and eerie dimensional rifts flicker across the sky, a clear sign of the planet’s accelerating collapse. Before reality itself breaks down, Batman, Cyborg, and the other heroes gathered try to settle the situation.
Cyborg’s Breakthrough: The Chaos Emerald Gambit
Amid the chaos, Cyborg’s systems detect a critical pattern. The resonance between the Chaos Emeralds creates a stable energy signature, even as the rest of the planet destabilizes. His hypothesis? If they gather all seven Emeralds, their combined power could punch a hole through dimensions, creating a bridge back to the Justice League’s home universe.
But time is running out.
Superman’s Resolve: Trust in Allies
As the team debates the risks, Superman cuts through the uncertainty with unwavering conviction:
“WE’LL PUT OUR FAITH IN OUR FRIENDS. IT’S THE WHOLE REASON WE SENT THEM THROUGH.”
His words galvanize the group, reinforcing their mission—retrieve the Emeralds, stabilize the planet, and trust in Sonic and his allies to hold the line.
The Clock is Ticking
With Darkseid’s engine accelerating the collapse, the heroes split up, each targeting a known Emerald location:
Batman heads to confront Metal Sonic near Westopolis.
Flash races to Lava Mountain to thwart the Deadly Six, while Wonder Woman and Blaze repel the Furies' assault at the Water Palace.
Flash races to Lava Mountain to thwart the Deadly Six, while Wonder Woman and Blaze repel the Furies' assault at the Water Palace.
Pages 6–8: Blaze and Wonder Woman’s Alliance
Clash at the Water Palace: Blaze and Wonder Woman Forge an Alliance
Blaze the Cat is the only one fighting Darkseid's vicious enforcers, the Female Furies, at the Water Palace. As she desperately protects a Chaos Emerald from their grasp, the pyrokinetic princess is put to the test by Stompa's earth-shaking stomps and Harriet's ferocious rage.
A Defiant Last Stand
Cornered but unbroken, Blaze ignites her fists, her voice cutting through the chaos:
"I WILL KEEP IT SAFE FROM YOU TILL MY LAST BREATH!"
A golden lasso catches Stompa in the middle of her assault as the Furies are about to overwhelm her, Wonder Woman leaps into the battle with her shield up.
Warriors Recognize Warriors
Diana assesses Blaze in an instant, her respect evident:
"I SEE YOUR VALOR AND NATURE CLEARLY."
Their styles clash, Blaze's controlled fire against Diana's disciplined strikes—but their synergy is immediate.
A Pact Forged in Battle
With the Emerald secured, the two warriors strategize:
The Emerald's function in maintaining the dimensions' stability is revealed by Blaze.
We should weaponize its energy against Darkseid's hold over this dimension," Diana strategizes.
Pages 9–13: Flash’s Speed vs. the Deadly Six
Speed Versus Cunning: The Emerald Chase Across Sonic's World
The Chaos Emerald hunt splits the heroes: Batman battles in Westopolis' ruins while Flash speeds through Lost Hex's lava fields.
Batman's Shadow War in Westopolis
In the industrial wasteland bordering Central City, Batman engages in a lethal game of cat-and-mouse with Metal Sonic. The robotic doppelgänger mirrors his every move until the Dark Knight exploits a 0.3-second lag in its neural processors. A well-placed EMP batarang fries its circuits, allowing Batman to claim the Emerald with typical brevity: "Overclocked. Underprepared."
Flash's Gauntlet in Lava Mountain
Meanwhile, The Flash faces a triple threat:
The Deadly Six (Master Zik, Zeena, and Zazz) are enclosing him with the geothermal vents in the ground.
Virman Vundarbar monologuing about his "brilliant" plan to weaponize the Emerald
The castle itself collapsing into magma
The Heroic Detour
Even with reality collapsing, Flash's priorities remain... fluid. His Justice League comms crackle:
"YELLOW CHAOS EMERALD SECURED. BUT EMPIRE CITY HAS AN EIGHT-LANE LOOP-DE-LOOP! I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THAT!"
Pages 14–16: Superman vs. Eggman’s Ambition
Eggman's Folly: When Superman Crashes the Mad Doctor's Party
The scene opens on Eggman's heavily fortified base, where the self-proclaimed genius is busy exploiting the dimensional chaos to launch his Eggman Empire 2.0. Monitors display global targets as he cackles: "WITH DARKSEID DISTRACTED AND SONIC GONE, THIS WORLD WILL BOW TO ME!"
A Kryptonian Intervention
The celebration ends when Superman breaches the compound like a blue-and-red missile, bypassing every defense. Eggman's smirk vanishes as the Man of Steel lands before him, eyes glowing with restrained power.
The Pivotal Exchange:
Superman cuts through Eggman's ego with cold logic:
"YOUR WORLD IS IN PERIL. WHILE I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE AMBITIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, SURELY SELF-PRESERVATION SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR CALCULUS?!"Eggman (sweating but defiant): "DECENCY DEMANDS PRE-BATTLE BANTER, YOU OVERPOWERED—"
Superman (already scanning the facility): "THE CHAOS EMERALD. WHERE IS IT?"
Efficiency Over Drama
Defeated but seething, Eggman surrenders the Emerald's coordinates, just as Superman's heat vision slices through the floor, snatching the gem mid-sentence in a blur of super-speed efficiency.The final insult? Superman departs with a sonic boom before Eggman can even finish his villainous rant.
Why This Scene Lands:
Perfectly contrasts Superman's no-nonsense heroism with Eggman's theatrical villainy
Shows how outclassed Eggman is against a Leaguer
Securing each Chaos Emerald advances their mission while delivering perfect comedic moments.
Eggman's Last Frame:
Left shaking his fist at the sky, screaming "I HATE THAT KRYPTONIAN!" as his base's alarms wail, a perfect encapsulation of his role in the crossover: dangerous, but never the main threat.
Pages 17–19: Green Lantern’s Stand Against Granny Goodness
Luminous Forest Showdown: When Cosmic Bullies Meet Their Match
The tranquil glow of the Luminous Forest shatters as Granny Goodness' war chariot crushes through the foliage. The alien Wisps flee in panic, their colorful light trails flickering like distressed fireflies as she cackles: "BRIIMMING WITH ENERGY! GRANNY WILL FIND A GOOD USE FOR THAT POWER!"
The Lantern's Last Stand
Kyle Rayner charges in, power ring flaring, "STOP TRAUMATIZING THE ALIENS, GRANDMA!"
But Granny's ready. With a sadistic grin, she activates her Anti-Lantern Field Generator, a twisted Apokoliptian tech that makes his ring sputter like a dying lightbulb.
The Desperate Gambit
As the Wisps huddle behind him, Kyle reverts to basics. The oath every Lantern learns in their darkest hour. His voice booms as the ring flickers erratically:
"LET EVIL NOW DISCOVER
THE UNMATCHED NIGHT—!"
The forest holds its breath. The ring's power meter plummets to 2%.
Pages 20–22: The Final Plan
Tails' Lab: The Final Gambit
The tension in Tails' Lab is palpable as Cyborg's holographic displays flicker with unstable energy readings. The Chaos Emeralds glow violently, painting the room in shifting colors.
Batman's fingers fly across a holographic keyboard. "Then we don't make mistakes."
Superman places a steadying hand on Sonic's shoulder as the hedgehog stares at the swirling vortex beginning to form. "This was always the plan," the Man of Steel reminds them. "WE'LL PUT OUR FAITH IN OUR FRIENDS."
With a final keystroke from Tails, the lab erupts in blinding light, the portal yawns open, revealing glimpses of familiar faces on the other side. The ground trembles as the dimensional rift stabilizes, its edges crackling with pent-up chaos energy. Somewhere in the distance, an alarm blares, Darkseid's forces have detected the breach.
The final battle begins... NOW.
