Here's a sneak peak at the upcoming Legion of Doom series that I'm working on, and should be released at the beginning of next year.
Hope you enjoy

The concussive wall of energy radiating out from the centre of the plaza outside the Daily Planet sent the SWAT vans flying, the crews inside boiling alive. Standing at the origin point of the blast, the figure in yellow armour fired off a few energy blasts towards the crowd. Before the blasts could hit a red and blue blur intercepted the discharge, before slamming the villain into the ground.
“So glad you could join the party Superman.” The villain hissed, as he fired off another radial blast that pushed his attacker back. “I was beginning to think that you had better things to do then come and see me.”
“When people are in danger, nothing is more important Neutron.” Superman replied, as Neutron got to his feet, his hands glowing with yellow energy.
“And yet you chose to fight me here.” Neutron sneered as he opened fire, the blasts of energy striking Superman but doing little to faze him now that he was prepared for the assault. “I mean I’m virtually a living nuclear reactor and you fight me in downtown metropolis.” He added before firing off another salvo of blasts as Superman walked towards him, the radiation seemingly having no effect on him. Reaching Neutron, Superman withstood the last blast and went for a punch, only for Neutron to meet his blow with his own, his armour plating cracking from the blow.
“Give it up Neutron, we’ve done this before. Your armour cracks, I cool you down and send you to a lead cell at the Slab.” Superman stated as he looked at the searing flesh on his knuckles, and the radiation leaking out of the cracks in Neutron’s armour.
“Perhaps, but I have a different outcome in mind!” Neutron cackled as his intact gauntlet glowed red and he blasted Superman at close range. “See I heard something last time I was in the Slab about how you don’t do very well with red sun radiation.” He added, as Superman got to his feet, only to be blasted by another beam of simulated red sun energy. “How does it feel to be powerless?” He mocked as Superman flew at him and delivered a forceful uppercut to Neutron’s torso, sending him flailing upwards.
“You’re information is a little outdated, it take mass Red Sun saturation to completely drain my powers.” Superman stated as Neutron rotated in the air and fired another blast, before grabbing his opponent by his cape and swung him towards the massive globe in the centre of the plaza. Hitting the globe, the Man of Steel shuddered but recovered quickly and flew towards Neutron, as the villain landed and fired a salvo of radiation blasts at his target, a number of them leaving burning welts on his body.
“Oh they said it would take some time!” Neutron replied as he sidestepped Superman and delivered a flooring punch to the Man of Steel’s back, sending him crashing into the concrete. “How long before you run out of steam boy scout? Five minutes, two, maybe you’re already out!”
“Not yet!” Superman replied as he flipped round and kicked Neutron away before taking a deep breath and exhaled a stream of super-chilled air at the villain, ice forming on the external surfaces of the super criminals armour.
“Maybe, but you’re weakening.” Neutron hissed as his armour glowed and the ice melted off his suit, before he fired another swift blast of red sun radiation at Superman as he struggled to his feet. “You’ve brought this on yourself Kryptonian, you and your friends have been crowing on this paradigm shift in justice that’s coming, well now we have a paradigm shift in our relationship, one that will end in me dumping your corpse outside the Hall of Justice.” He hissed as Superman got to his feet again, only to be floored by another blast of red sun radiation.
“You’re not the first person to threaten that Neutron.” Superman groaned as he got to his feet and stumbled towards Neutron, only for the villain to land a searing punch to his chest. With great effort the Man of Steel retaliated by grabbing the criminals arm, and delivering a punch to Neutron’s face with just enough force to crack the reinforced plastic of his visor. With a hissing grunt Neutron blasted him away with enough force to throw him across the plaza.
“But I will be the last!” Neutron replied, as he walked across the plaza, a collapsible baton jutting out of his gauntlet, a gleaming blade of energy enveloping the rod, sparks spitting out and searing the concrete. Getting to his feet, Superman balled his fist ready for a fight, only to be blasted with another beam of red sun radiation before being kicked onto his back, Neutron’s searing boot pressed on his chest, the pressure forcing a puff of super chilled air escaping his lips and causing condensation to form on Neutron’s armour for a few seconds before evaporating. Raising his blade Neutron readied himself ready to land a fatal strike on the Man of Steel’s neck. “Nothing will save you now.”
Hope you enjoy
