Synopsis
  • [[W:C:DC:Superboy
  • After saving a bunch of caged animals being shipped to a zoo, Aquaman and Aqualad are visited by an alien space ship. The aliens on board explain that they have traveled to Earth to seek Aquaman's help. They explain that years ago they had shot a satellite in to space that would help terraform their desert regions into land in which they can grow food. However, the satellite was pulled back into their planets orbit and it sank to the deepest regions of one of their oceans. Boarding the ship, they are told that the speed of travel would knock them out. Regaining consciousness on the alien world, Aquaman and Aqualad begin their mission and find themselves attacked by a giant crab-like creature. Finding the satellite they get it tethered back up to the surface. There Aquaman suddenly attacks the aliens, and soon reveals them to be nothing but crooks in disguise. Aquaman reveals to Aqualad that the whole thing was an elaborate hoax using special effects and a mechanical crab-monster, that was devised in order to trick Aquaman into getting what the crooks sought. Aquaman cracks open the meteor revealing that there is Kryptonite inside, which the crooks planned to use against Superman. With the crooks defeated, Aquaman throws the Kryptonite overboard once more.
