"Thanks, Wonder Woman." Superman grunts, finishing escaping from the grime with the help of his friends. "But search me. I just remember the picture from one of Aquaman's books on Atlantean myths. I think they eat pollution or something..."
The Filth King screeches as the Bug's lasers burn into its greasy, grimy flesh; the stink the burning...stuff causes could be punishment enough for the Blue Beetle...especially since the green gas grows thicker, surging towards the Bug as if the Filth King was somehow aiming it! Ted can tell from inital contact that the stuff is corrosive-can he get away from the brunt of the blast in time?!
Obsidian's power binds the King, as the great creature struggles with its own shadow, as something strange happens...
...some of the bystanders aren't exactly evacuating like the average resident of Metropolis for more than a week knows how to. They're just...standing there, three, four, five people, professionals by the look of them, hunched, shaking...
One throws up, hurling the strange green goo where he thinks the Flash will run next-while a woman turns to leap throw the air at Green Lantern, swinging a set of hideous, grimy claws at the Emerald Gladiator! The third and fourth Filth Knight turn towards Obsidian, both spitting hocks of gunk the size of a human head at the reservist in an attempt to stop him from controling their master's shadow, while the fifth pulls back in reserve to see what happens.
As for Superman?
"Hey!" The Man of Steel shouts, stepping back and grabbing the side of a buick. His knees buckle for a second, and Superman spins around once, twice, and hurtles the sensible family sedan right at the Filth King's upper maw! "We've got a littering law in this town, jerk! -Wonder Woman, we need to make a dam...this thing must be trying to get into the central harbor! I'm not sure what it wants, but I'll bet a dollar it isn't to shake hands and make a speech about serving the public good."
