Apokolips... Now!: Part II (1998)

Victor Brandt: Professor Hamilton

Quotes 

• Professor Hamilton : We've been monitoring the hot zone by satellite. The explosion triggered a meltdown in the power plant's central reactor. It's burning straight through the substrata now. And it will get hotter and hotter until it reaches the Earth's core.

  Superman : What then?

  Professor Hamilton : As this simulation shows, it will explode, setting off a series of violent eruptions which will cover the Earth with more burn holes. I've never seen anything like it.

  Superman : Yes, you have. We all have. On Apokolips.

• Professor Hamilton : The radioactive hole is now only a few hundred meters deep. But that's going to increase, and quickly.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : Shouldn't you be paging your new best friend the buckethead?

  Superman : I was just thinking about Orion.

  [activating the communicator, it fritzes out] 

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : What's the matter?

  Superman : [inspecting it with his x-ray vision]  Fried. Must have been the pulse from the explosion. We're on our own now.

  Professor Hamilton : If the reactor melts through the top mantle, we'll never stop it.
