He discovers that exposure to powerful explosions or energy discharges can cause him to jump in time. Secretly, though, it is the Linear Man who is using the explosions to try bringing Superman to a point in time where a cataclysmic event could send him straight home. At the closure of the tale, Linear Man reveals that he has sent Superman to a point in the 30th Century where the moon was supposed to be destroyed in order to send him home. Seeing that the Legion has interfered by preventing the countdown of a destructive device implanted on the moon by the Dominators to destroy it, the Linear Man resumes the countdown and fulfills the moon's destruction, sending Superman back to his own point in time. Besides the Legion, Superman also encounters the Justice Society in 1943 in addition to Chronos in the prehistoric age and Etrigan the Demon in the time of Camelot.
