Episode 1.09: The Mining robots which Superman and Timber Wolf battled toward the end have a very similar design to the space exploration robots built by the Waynetech/Luthorcorp partnership in the episode of Superman: The Animated Series episode World's Finest. He also rattles off the names of the colors Blue, Red, Gold, and Green, all of which were variations of Kryptonite
The Legion is flying through space in their cruiser, when the image on their viewscreen becomes filled with static and cuts in and out. The people on the screen say United Planets ships are on their way but won't make it in time and they need help immediately, and then the screen cuts out for good. Lightning Lad orders the ship to full speed, and it begins shaking violently. Bouncing Boy says the turbulence could tear the ship apart, but Lightning Lad presses them onward because they're not going to save just any planet... they're going to save his home
Somewhere in space, a giant octopus-like alien creature is attacking several ships as they pass by. The Legion, including Superman, Bouncing Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Triplicate Girl, and the first appearance of Colossal Boy, arrive and take on the monster but seem to be ineffective. As things look hopeless, a ship arrives and five strangers jump out to save the day.
Inter Galatic Games Episode 1.05: In the center of the main arena, there's a banner which reads, in Interlac: "Batman Lives".
The show opens with Clark looking through the Superman museum at the man he will become. Turns out Brainaic 5 is watching him, and Saturn Girl laments that he's gone back to the museum again (during which Brainy says there's only myths and legends there, and all information on Superman's origins was lost during "the great crisis"). As Clark is leaving the museum he notices a device he'd never seen before and accidentally activates. Turns out it's a Phantom Zone projector and a man in a costume and a cape with a "Z" on his chest jumps through with a couple of beasts, happy to be free. He says his name is Drax and he begins destroying the museum displaying several powers identical to Superman's, as he declares that he's Superman's worst nightmare. He escapes with his flying monster pets and Superman flies after him, only to discover that Drax is nowhere to be found
The legion needs the help of the Fatal Five to stop the Suneater from destroying their sun and ending all life on Earth
The show opens with a type of robotic battle suit, which is jumping and flying across the city. The suit suddenly starts to fall from the sky and the ejector is broken. Just before it hits the ground Superman saves it and a red-headed woman with green eyes jumps out and thanks Superman before disappearing into the city. Brainiac 5 tries to explain the danger of some new villains called the Scavengers to the Legion, but they're all far more interested in Superman's meeting with Alexia, who is one of the richest people in the galaxy and who owns her own planet. Superman gets an invitation to a party as Alexia's date, but he was supposed to go on patrol with Brainy. Lightning Lad agrees to cover for him and Superman goes to the party where rich, snobby people make fun of him for his costume. Alexia stands up for him and they leave shortly thereafter, Alexia saying she was only invited so they could get a check from her
The show opens with a monster of sorts tearing apart a group of robots in a jungle. It then cuts to the Legion (specifically Superman and Lightning Lad) battling a monster in space. Lightning Lad tries to show Superman how to handle things like this, but proves entirely ineffective as the Legion gets a distress call from a scientist on a remote planet. Superman handily disposes of the monster all on his own and the Legion flies off to answer the call. Due to an argument between Bouncing Boy and Brainiac 5 (with regards to doing things "by the book" or otherwise) their ship crash lands on the planet, where Saturn Girl seems to notice some sort of feral growling that no one else does. They soon find the scientist, who shows them a picture of his son and tells them a beast has been terrorizing his lab and he wants the Legion to stop it and bring it to him. Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Superman set off to find him as Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy work on repairing their ship inside the lab's hangar.
Superman and the Legion are in their ship, caught in some sort of space storm. They find an ancient space station located in the eye of the storm, which has no life signs but Saturn Girl is hearing a lot of voices from it, prompting them to think it's some sort of haunted station. They dock their ship and go in to investigate, where they're welcomed by a six-eyed alien named Boris who says "the master" has been expecting them
The show opens with members of the Legion getting their butts handed to them by an unseen force. Lightning Lad, after getting beaten to the ground, quips, "Where's Superman when you need him?" and that, indeed, is the very premise of the entire episode. We cut to a young adult Clark Kent on his last night living in Smallville before heading to Metropolis to be a "copy boy" at the Daily Planet. He's still testing out his powers and learning what he can do (like trying to focus his heat vision enough to burn a hole in a newspaper). He heads to a fair for some fun on his last night in town, where Martha's words about him "not being like other people" lead to him feeling isolated and also garner him some ridicule from a guy who looks suspiciously like Pete Ross (and who's with a girl who looks suspiciously like Lana Lang).
