JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. MIGHTY THOR

by Constantin von Hoffmeister


 

"Jerry Siegel is a fellow who is intellectually and physically circumcised and has his headquarters in New York. He invented a colorful character that boasts a striking appearance, a strong body, and a red swim suit ... The creative Israelite named this pleasing character with an overdeveloped body and underdeveloped brain 'Superman.'"
-- from the SS magazine DAS SCHWARZE KORPS - April 25, 1940

The battle of the titans rages. Blocking out any control waves, Thor finally feels illuminated and ready to serve his Old God Family. Thor finally breaks his alter ego stick, his forced faith in sameness nonsense. No more pop trivial trash "kultur" jack-off propaganda for the false edification of the rabble. Thor once again feels the true nature of power. The Justice League is alarmed.  Dissenters cannot be tolerated. Superman says, "Destroy this creature before he jeopardizes our mission!" Thor says, "C'mon, let's see you uglies try." Hawkgirl says, "He's tearing up the lab! People, we have a problem..." Batman says, "Remember, go light on him. Gentle restraints only." Thor says, "I don't really know what you are up to, but I can live without knowing." Hawkgirl says to Superman, "I'll try not to do any permanent damage." Thor screams, "Inferior ones! Prepare to..." SPZAKK! The Electromorph goes off. Thor gets angry. Thor says, "My plans will never change, as much as you may meddle, Justice League! Now you will pay! Mjolnir will teach you." Superman says, "Of course, Thor. We'd appreciate whatever you can tell us about what's happened. Batman will take your statement." Thor ignores Superman and says to the negro Green Lantern, "Inferior one! Prepare to surrender the light." The negro Green Lantern says, "Me no dumb fuck, yo!" Thor laughs and says, "Even though you are a Guardian of the Universe, my dear negro Green Lantern, I will leave you with the dwarves who are my old acquaintances. I will have nothing to do anymore with your violation of the rights of hospitality." The negro Green Lantern is stunned. Thor continues, "Furthermore, my dear negro Green Lantern, you have been brought up too much on milk and sugar to stimulate my jeaulousy." KRUNCH! Mjolnir strikes once, twice... No mo' negro Green Lantern... Superman looses his cool and says in a loud voice, "You will not get away with this, you renegade outlaw superhero!" Thor laughs and says, "I know your kind that do not belong where the true heart is. From afar you see, but you do not understand." Batman says to Superman, "Don't worry, old pal, I will back you up. That renegade outlaw superhero, the once proud and mighty Thor, has to understand that I once made a vow to my parents, to their memory. Not solely to avenge evil, but to protect the good." KRUNCH! Mjolnir strikes again once, twice... Batman is no more. Thor says, "The inferior one with the inferior ideology has to perish. It is the law of the Old Gods!" Hawkgirl says, "You are moving fast and you are a strong one, oh renegade outlaw superhero! But I can fly after you... For you are evil, and there will be no escape for evil in these pages!" Thor laughs and says, "I will clip your wings, weak creature - woman that always follows fashionable lies." KRUNCH! Superman is shocked and says, "You must realize that behind enemy lines you are doomed to fail. In the long run, I will defeat you in the name of humanity, that gracious host to aliens like me. You can only kill, oh renegade outlaw superhero, but you will never win!" Thor claps thunder, laughs and says, "For the battle of the planet, the means will justify the victory. The cosmic struggle, as commanded by my father, as a Norse saga dictated by a blind poet, as the only struggle that ever was, is and will be... The cosmic struggle is already decided. I'll grant you leave and spare you in time, faithful lapdog and worn-out poster boy, dear Superman, so that you will see the truth of the melancholy motion of a deplorable condition, a condition that will ease and vanish in due time..." Superman screams, "You are mad! I shall stop you!" Thor says, "You will not be able to hold back the day when no more atonement will be possible." Superman, the symbol of lies not reality (that serves and protects), shakes his head, flying, fluttering, down, down... Aware is the Cosmos that the colors will fade when the pale armies march.
