SPOILER WARNING: Chapter 3 gives away the ending to Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home

Clark Kent breathes in the fresh air as he steps outside preparing to do some chores. He takes a moment to contemplate removing his watch laced with blue Kryptonite made to neutralize his powers, when the watch itself is suddenly replaced with a bracelet made out of blue licorice. A shrill cackling voice can be heard from the loft, which he carefully enters.

CLARK: "Who's there?"
MXYZPTLK: "Mxyzptlk's the name! We've met before, Supey... well, sort of. For some reason this world's creators thought I should be some pretty boy with an accent."

The inter-dimensional imp pops up in front of Clark, who lets out a deep sigh of frustration.

CLARK: "You know just once, it'd be nice to have a regular day not having to deal with nutcases from other dimensions!"
MXYZPTLK: "Well, somebody sure took a whiz all over your breakfast this morning!"
CLARK: "What do you want?"
MXYZPTLK: "Believe it or not, I was actually sent here to warn you of a serious cosmic anomaly that could cause trouble for a certain quartet of terrapin martial arts experts."
CLARK: "The Ninja Turtles? They're usually the first to come to me whenever there's some kind of issue going on in the multiverse."
MXYZPTLK: "That's the thing, they don't know about it yet. I just happened to be hanging around the Halls of Lost Legends chatting it up with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo when I felt a disturbance in the force as it were!" (Chuckles.)
CLARK: "So you're saying I should pop over to Dimension J and give the Turtles a heads up?"
MXYZPTLK: "That's the gist of it, my boy! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a hot date with Heather Graham's characters from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Boogie Nights! I may be no Mark Wahlberg, but I'm sure I can give Mike Myers a run for his money! Later, Supey!!!"

Mxyzptlk vanishes into thin air, leaving Clark to shrug as he looks down to see his blue-Kryptonite watch back in his hand. He heads back into the house and quickly changes into his Superman uniform before flying off.

Jephaelverse Earth (Dimension J); Harleysville, Pa. - August 5TH, 2022

Leonardo and Michaelangelo are having a sparring session in the backyard, while Raphael is on the phone face-timing with Mona Lisa.

RAPHAEL: "So how're things with the Lubarts?"
MONA LISA: "They're doing great! I went with Rick and Linda to watch Landon play a tennis match earlier, while Tribble stayed with Holly and Alexis to take the dog to the park."
RAPHAEL: "Aw, how is Bella?"
MONA LISA: "She's grown quite a bit since we last saw her!"
RAPHAEL: "Well, we don't get out to Carlisle much these days, especially after that ordeal with Tokka and Rahzar materializing at the Boiling Springs pool last summer."
MONA LISA: "I warned Donatello something like that might happen if he didn't test out that video game simulator in a safer location! It's a wonder we didn't get a lifetime ban after that fiasco!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Hey bro, wrap it up! I need to tag out!"
RAPHAEL: "Yea, hang on, Mikey! Hey sweety, I gotta go, but give the Oughtons and Lubarts our love."
MONA LISA: "Will do, honey. Have a good weekend!"
RAPHAEL: "You too."

Mona Lisa blows Raphael a kiss before hanging up.

LEONARDO: "It's about time you come out to join us! Michaelangelo here isn't giving much competition."
MICHAELANGELO: "Well, excuse me! I tweaked my leg the other day skateboarding with Beast Boy at Titans Tower!"
RAPHAEL: "I thought you tripped on their rug while running to the door to greet the pizza guy."
MICHAELANGELO: "Oh whatever, dude! Why don't we just wait until Jeffrey gets back from work?"
RAPHAEL: "Jenny's bringing him and Patrick over and then we're all going to marathon the Back to the Future trilogy... for the 500th time!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Hey, there's no beating the classics! So what's the resident brainiac doing at the moment? I mean come on, it's always been the four of us, even before we ended up here in the real world!"
LEONARDO: "Donatello's been on his computer all afternoon trying to figure out his video game simulator."
MICHAELANGELO: "Oh right, that thing! I'm still surprised we didn't get banned from the Boiling Springs pool!"
RAPHAEL: "Funny, that's just what Mona Lisa said to me right before you interrupted our chat earlier."


The Turtles head inside the house through the back patio and head into the spare room where Donatello is tapping away on his keyboard.

DONATELLO: "Hey guys. Sorry, I can't come out to spar right now. I just know that I'm getting closer to getting this simulator to work properly!"
LEONARDO: (Sighs.) "You've been toying with that stupid thing since lunch!"
RAPHAEL: "Leonardo's right. You really need to come out with us and get some fresh air!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Yea, dude. Besides you're gonna wear your peepers out looking at that computer screen!"
DONATELLO: "Look, I really wanted to wait until I got this thing perfected so we could use it in our sparring sessions!"
RAPHAEL: "Donnie, no offense, but I could care less! I still have nightmares about that virtual Tokka putting me in a deep freeze at the bottom of the pool!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Yea, and don't forget how Rahzar almost burnt down the snack bar! You're gonna get us slapped with a lawsuit one of these days!"
DONATELLO: (Frustrated.) "Oh all right, fine! I'll junk the stupid thing! That's three and a half hours of work down the stinking drain!"
LEONARDO: "Don't have such a fit over it, Donatello!"
DONATELLO: (Sighs.) "Oh, it's not that."

Raphael pats Donatello on the shoulder.

RAPHAEL: "You miss Lana, dontcha?"
DONATELLO: "Yea, a little. I mean I always figured she'd eventually want to return to Smallville where she belongs. But on a certain level, I felt like I finally had a meaningful connection with somebody female like you three had."
MICHAELANGELO: "Trust me, dude. It never works out being involved with somebody from another dimension... even if they're from an alternate Earth."
LEONARDO: "Not to change the subject, but now that you mention Smallville, it's been quite some time now since we last saw those guys."

Suddenly, a bright flash of light in the sky appears, which they catch through the window.

RAPHAEL: "Huh, right on cue."

The Turtles head back outside, this time through the front door, expecting to see Superman, but instead are shocked to see a menacing figure standing in the yard, dressed in an olive green cape, with a large television set embedded in his chest and a satellite over his head like a helmet.

DONATELLO: "That's definitely not Superman!"
RAPHAEL: "Could've fooled me!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Wait a minute, I know who that weirdo is! He's Vid Vicious from the Archie comics... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #21!"
VID VICIOUS: "What goes around... comes arou-"

Vid Vicious is suddenly smacked upside the head by another figure, the ever lovely Wonder Woman (as depicted by Gal Gadot).

WONDER WOMAN: "Don't come around here no more!"
VID VICIOUS: "You'll pay for that, wench!"

The two super powered beings continue to do battle as the Turtles look on in confusion.

RAPHAEL: "You know, Just once, it'd be nice to have a regular day not having to deal with nutcases from other dimensions!"
SUPERMAN: "Funny, that's exactly what I said before I was visited by a three foot tall circus freak who turned my watch into candy!"
DONATELLO: "Clark, where did you come from?"
SUPERMAN: "I took the portal in the fortress here to your world. Upon arriving, I saw these two appear from a dimensional rift."
LEONARDO: "Do you have any idea why they're here?"
SUPERMAN: "Full discloser, no. I was actually hoping nothing weird had happened yet before arriving."
MICHAELANGELO: "Well, they sure seem to not notice us."
DONATELLO: "It's possible they could be stuck between dimensions."

Vid Vicious and Wonder Woman briefly fade in and out for brief periods.

LEONARDO: "Is there anyway the van's Dimension Hopper can pull them out of the rift?"
DONATELLO: "It's worth a shot, but I'll need help aiming the beam at them."
MICHAELANGELO: "Righteous! I could use some target practice!"

The Turtles pile into the Turtle Van and snap into action. Raphael jumps into the driver's seat, while Donatello uses the Dimension Hopper's navigation system to lock in on the dimensional rift.

DONATELLO: "Yea, it's a rift all right, and a big one at that! Michaelangelo, get ready with those lasers! I'm going to hone in on the Archie dimension and send Vid Vicious back where he came from!"
LEONARDO: "But what about Wonder Woman?"
MICHAELANGELO: (Smirks.) "Dude, she's the one you want to keep around!"

Superman watches on as Wonder Woman and Vid Vicious continue to fight with each other.

WONDER WOMAN: "You'll pay for attacking my friends and I."
VID VICIOUS: "You mean the freak dressed like a bat and the shrimpy kid in the red leotard?!"

Raphael turns the van to face the yard where the fight is still raging on, just as the Dimension Hopper locks on to the Archie-TMNT universe.

DONATELLO: "Okay, it's set. Go for it Mikey!"
MICHAELANGELO: "You got it, bro!"

Michaelangelo takes aim and hits the trigger, causing the temporal rays to shoot out, zapping Vid Vicious directly, who vanishes, which causes Wonder Woman to fall back and crash into a nearbye tree, now fully in this dimension. However, backfire from the Dimension Hopper causes all four Turtles to be zapped by cosmic energy. Superman rushes over to the van and looks in horror to see the Turtles are now gone, and the Dimension Hopper's screen has gone completely blank.

SUPERMAN: "Oh man, this can't be good."
WONDER WOMAN: (Walks up to Superman and politely taps him on the shoulder.) "Are you all right, Kal-El?"

Superman turns around to look at Wonder Woman who is now confused.

WONDER WOMAN: "You're not Kal-El."
SUPERMAN: "Not the Kal-El you know. I'm from a different Earth."
WONDER WOMAN: "A different Earth?"
SUPERMAN: "Have you ever heard of the multiverse?"
WONDER WOMAN: "I remember Barry talking about the concept. He told us some wild story about coming face to face with another Barry Allen who had a different face and a slightly different costume."
SUPERMAN: "I know. I was breifly visited by a counterpart of Lex Luthor's once. He was a lot whinier than my Lex though." (Chuckles.)
WONDER WOMAN: "What's with this van?"
SUPERMAN: "Oh yea, this isn't mine. It belongs to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who seem to be missing."

That very moment a black mini-van pulls into the driveway, driven by Jenny with Jeff Oughton in the passenger's side and Patrick in the back. The three of them hop out immediately.

JEFF: "Clark, I didn't know the guys invited you over for Back to the Future night!"
SUPERMAN: "They didn't, Jeffrey. We've got a bit of a problem on our hands."

Wonder Woman smiles at Patrick and Jenny.

WONDER WOMAN: "Hello. Are you from this Earth?"
JENNY: "Uh yea."
PATRICK: "Of course!"
WONDER WOMAN: "Is this your house?"
JENNY: "It's his house, and the Ninja Turtles."
PATRICK: "Yea, where are they?"
JEFF: (Surverys the Turtle Van.) "Oh jeez."
