Blue Beetle, Blue Beetle
When you need some help
He'll save the day
Blue Beetle's on the way
To save the day
Where in the name
of Neptune is it?
The Boss said
we don't stop lookin' until we find it.
You can stop looking.
I've found it!
The famous Colossal Star diamond!
Now, let's get out of here.
You're not going anywhere, Octo-morons!
Blue Beetle!
Sorry, Squid Gang,
that diamond's bigger than your head,
and has a lot more brains.
This diamond
means everything to us.
We must have it! You won't stop us.
Well, I'm not here
to leave mints on the pillows.
Got it.
Haven't lost a game
of "keep away" yet.
There's always
a first time, Bug Head.
{Squid 1] Woo-hoo!
{Squid 2] Feels great!
Sayonara, sucker!
Never seen the Squids so emotional.
What could have them so worked up?
That is the question.
Sufferin' scarabs!
Oh, it's you, Question.
Don't do that.
Nothing surprises quite like
an unexpected question.
Look, Question, I'd love to hear more
of your weird criminal theories
on how moral truths exist independently
of human knowledge, or whatever,
but right now, I need to get
that diamond back from the Squids.
Getting it back doesn't
get you the answers you need.
It gets me the diamond,
that's what I need.
But the answer to this mystery
is this question.
"Why did they want it
in the first place?"
A ginormous diamond
worth $5 million?
That ginormous diamond
might have more value than money.
You always read way more into things
than are actually there.
A-ha!
Oh, did you find a blue button,
because one fell off my glove.
A cap from an eight-ounce bottle
of the infamous,
over-caffeinated beverage...
Zortz.
Zortz Cola. I thought
they stopped making that stuff.
Zortz Co. went bankrupt
when the FDA discovered
they'd lied about
the amount of caffeine
and other nearly-toxic chemicals
the drink contained.
How "nearly toxic?"
I mean,
I'll still be able to have kids, right?
That is a question for your urologist.
Okay, if Zortz Co.
Is out of business,
what's one of their bottlecaps doing in
a freshly-cleaned hotel room?
There are three places in Hub City,
that still sell the outdated soda.
So, we go to those markets
and find out who bought the soda,
and that person
could have the diamond.
Dang it! I hate it when
your weird theories are right.
We can evade reality,
but we cannot evade the consequences
of evading reality.
So, like, what do you squares want?
'Cause most people
just come here for the Zortz.
Groovy stuff, man.
I notice you have one of those new
closed-circuit TV security systems.
We'd like to know
exactly who is buying Zortz.
Like, everyone, Daddy-O.
It's the ginchiest.
Zortz is out of production for a reason.
Water is the only drink
anyone should consume.
We need to see those videotapes.
You're not the fuzz,
why don't you make like Dizzy Gillespie
and scat!
The question isn't who
is going to let me...
It's who is going to stop me?
I, uh... like, see your point, Clyde.
-There.
-Where?
Oh, yeah!
He dropped a penny
in the leave-a-penny jar.
That's what you call a stand-up cat.
Let's get that penny jar
back to The Bug.
Hey! It's "leave a penny, take a penny."
A penny. Not all the pennies, man.
I'll send you a check!
Here it is.
The Squid's penny.
Well...
How do you know it's the right penny?
It's the only one without fingerprints.
Squids wear gloves.
Hmm, and it's much shinier
than the other pennies to boot,
but what is this substance?
Let's get a chemical breakdown
of whatever this coating is.
Cerium oxide?
That's a high-grade polishing agent.
Very expensive.
It's used to polish mirrors for
sophisticated telescopic equipment.
I know. Kord Industries used it
on the telescopic amplifier
we sold to the military.
Uh, I mean... they sold to the military,
which I read about in the paper.
That amplifier was stolen last week,
right out from under their noses.
It's not your fault. There's no way you,
aka Ted Kord,
could've known the military would've
been so careless with your invention.
No, no, I'm not... Ted Kord.
Well, I mean who is Ted Kord.
You, sir, that is not...
If this diamond theft has something
to do with the telescopic amplifier,
that you, as Ted Kord, invented--
-I'm not Ted Kord.
-...we need to find it.
That's something I can help with.
Every Kord product has a brilliantly
designed homing beacon created by...
me, Ted Kord.
Boss, you're gonna be thrilled!
We got you the diamond!
A few more adjustments,
and my magnificent aura oscillator
will be ready for
its final crowning glory!
Sorry to drop in unannounced...
Doctor Spectro.
Yes, it is I,
Doctor Spectro,
the emperor of emotions,
the finagler of feelings.
You societal leeches can make it
easier on yourselves
and hand that diamond over.
No way! This diamond
belongs to Doctor Spectro!
Spectro uses emotional manipulation
to control people.
That's how he--
That's how he got the Squids
to steal that diamond.
By artificially instilling
affection and loyalty.
So, you've encountered
Doctor Spectro before?
No, it just seemed obvious.
They do whatever I command.
And soon,
so will everyone on the planet!
He's going to use the giant diamond,
the perfect refracting element,
to make the telescopic amplifier
an emotional amplifier.
With that kind of power,
he could take over the world.
We aren't going to let him.
But we are.
Captain Atom and Nightshade?
But you're fellow
Charlton action heroes.
You Squids sit this one out.
I want to see the Nuclear Nemesis
and the Debutante of Darkness
battle these interlopers.
Don't worry, Doctor Spectro.
We'll incinerate this insect.
And punch this one
right where his face should be.
Spectro has them under his control,
just like the Squids. But how?
Unlike the Squids, they're
strong-willed, and individualistic.
Of course, he must've
imbued the soda with a chemical,
which heightens his
emotional-manipulating waves
creating the perfect substance
for mind control.
Snap out of it, Nightshade.
You hate Spectro more than you hate
an outdoor brunch in Palm Springs.
Oh, I used to think that.
But now, I understand him.
He deserves love, devotion,
just as you deserve this!
Now, ain't that a kick in the head.
Captain Atom, resist Spectro's control.
I want to.
I don't know how his emotional rays
penetrated my nuclear forcefield.
That soda did this to you.
Use your energy ray
to change its molecular structure
and create an antidote.
I'll try.
I hope this works.
Whoa, that was just
what the doctor ordered,
and not Doctor Spectro!
A question for Nightshade...
How would you like
a nice, refreshing soda?
Why, you faceless freak!
Blue Beetle?
Sorry about the shakedown.
Let's make sure Spectro
gets it a lot worse.
Count on it.
Q, you and Cap take the Squids.
Shade and I will get Spectro.
Too late!
Too late.
Waves of sadness bombarding me.
Everything about me is a lie.
I'm too depressed to fight.
What if jazz is, like,
the biggest sellout of all?
Citizens of Hub City,
you are under the control
of Doctor Spectro!
Obey my will. It is your only hope.
Must fight it. I'll never live for
the sake of another man's will!
What? Impossible!
No, objective reality.
Emotion, sadness, anger, love...
they're not real,
just hormonal imbalances.
Once you subjugate
emotion with reality,
which I do every day,
emotion becomes powerless.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
And the fact is...
I'm about to knock you out.
No!
No! My super sad subjects,
my depressed darlings,
they are no more.
Okay, Squids,
this is the end of the line.
Scratch everything off your to-do list
except jail.
But we were under his spell.
You can't blame us.
Q, I have to admit,
I underestimated you.
You're an incredible hero
and an even better friend.
Friendship isn't
objectively real, either.
Ugh, you really are the worst.
Come on.
Let's get Spectro
into The Bug and off to jail.
Sufferin' scarabs!
-He's gone!
-What?
That distortion, just like Nightshade's.
He must've slipped through reality
into a pocket dimension.
No, he can't. He must face justice.
He must be punished for his crimes.
Easy there, buddy.
Don't get swept away
by a hormonal imbalance.
No, it's objectively wrong.
Come on, pal.
You're all keyed up.
You need to relax.
I'll take you out
for a nice, refreshing soda.
