None of these characters are mine, they're all owned by DC Comics and I used them without permission. The events that happen in this script are a combination of things that happened in old issues of Adventure Comics, things from the movie Spider-Man and things of my own imagination. Contains spoilers for the Spider-Man movie.

MAIN TITLES
After the main titles, the screen is blank and we hear the voice of CHUCK TAINE.

FADE IN: Medium shot on LUORNU DURGO, a rather cute girl with short, brown hair, wearing a purple dress with an orange belt and an orange cape. She is smiling. There are people around her, but you can't see who they are yet.

The shot widens and we see GIM ALLON standing next to LUORNU.

The shot widens further and we see LYLE NORG on her other side.

The shot widens even further and we see IMRA ARDEEN

The shot pulls out and we see that it's just a hologram of THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, being projected from a small hand-held computer called an omni-com. The omni-com is sitting on a small desk. Looking at the hologram is CHUCK TAINE, a chubby guy wearing a blue and white shirt.

The SCIENTIST comes into the shot. He is wearing a lab coat. Chuck shuts off the omni-com projection.

The scientist hands a bottle to Chuck.

Chuck grabs the bottle, sticks the omni-com in his pocket and leaves.

CUT TO: EXT. METROPOLIS STREET -- DAY. The camera is following Chuck as he walks along with the bottle the scientist gave him. He stops as he sees a sign on a stadium that reads: "ROBOT GLADIATOR TOURNAMENT TODAY!!!"

Chuck runs to the stadium.

CUT TO: INT. STADIUM -- DAY. There are two robots battling in the center of the arena; it looks along the lines of "BATTLE BOTS" but a lot more technologically advanced. There are two crews of operators operating the robots. The camera pans up into the stands and we see Chuck making his way to his seat. He sets the bottle he was carrying next to his seat. A VENDOR is making his way up the stairs with a box full of various beverages and packs of food.

Chuck reaches into his pocket and pulls out two credit chips and passes them along to the vendor. The vendor passes two bottles of Gingold Soda to Chuck. Chuck puts one of the bottles next to the bottle the scientist gave him, opens the other bottle and chugs it. The crowd, including Chuck, stands and cheers because of some apparently brilliant move in the tournament. As Chuck sits down, he puts the empty bottle down and reaches for the other bottle.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF CHUCKS HAND. Chuck's hand reaches for the other soda, but he accidentally grabs the bottle given to him by the scientist. The camera follows the bottle as he opens it and starts to chug it, and it moves to his face as he realizes that this is not soda! He spits out what is left in his mouth, but he's already downed quite a bit of it, as the bottle is almost empty. There is a look of terror on his face as he looks at the mostly empty bottle. Suddenly there is a gurgling sound from his belly and he burps loudly. He then all of a sudden starts to expand. His body becomes roughly the shape of a ball, and pushes against the sides of his seat. Other people in the stands start to notice him. He finally has become too big for the chair, and he shoots upward like a cork being shot from a champagne bottle.

The camera follows Chuck as he bounces around the stadium. Landing in the arena he smashes into one of the robots. The operators for the robot Chuck smashed are very upset and start shouting the operators of the other robot are cheering. Someone in the audience throws a soda at the operators of the robot that Chuck didn't smash and the soda lands on the control panel, spilling all over the panel and causing it to spark. The robot then goes crazy and starts to attack Chuck. Chuck is able to avoid being hit by it and he smashes it by bouncing on it. With the audience cheering, Chuck takes a bow. Then two security guards come over to him and handcuff him.

CUT TO: STADIUM OFFICE – DAY. Chuck is sitting in a chair looking nervous. Sitting across a desk from him is the Stadium Manager.

Dejected, Chuck hands him his credit card. The Manager runs the card through a machine.

Chuck gets up and walks out of the office. As he walks out another man walks in. Chuck walks to the elevator and presses the button.

The man who entered the office as Chuck exited comes running out with a bag of credit chips in his hand. Chuck inflates, bounces into the thief and knocks him out. A security guard arrests the thief and drags him away. The Manager approaches Chuck.

MANAGER
No.

CHUCK
Damn.

CUT TO: INT. CHUCK'S APPARTMENT—DAY. Chuck is sitting at a table, reading want ads on his omni-com.

Suddenly he spots a promising ad, which reads, "TRY OUTS FOR THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES! Any aspiring heroes are encouraged to show up outside Legion Headquarters tomorrow at 8 AM and sign up." As he reads this he smiles.

CUT TO: EXT. LEGION HEADQUARTERS -- DAY. Establishing shot of the HQ with a ton of people lined up.

CUT TO: INT. LEGION HQ -- DAY. There is a table set up. The line leads up to the table, and LUORNU DURGO is sitting at the table, signing people up, in fact, three of her are sitting at the table, signing people up. Chuck approaches one of the Luornus as he comes to the front of the line.

Chuck looks sad.

Chuck nods.

Luornu 1 hands Chuck a piece of paper.

Chuck walks over to a line of chairs where other applicants are sitting. There is an empty seat next to DIRK MORGANA, a red haired guy in a red and yellow costume.

Chuck sits in the chair.

Dirk is unimpressed.

Dirk gets up and goes off screen to the audition room. Another applicant, SALU DIGBY, takes Dirk's chair. Salu has black hair and violet eyes. She is wearing a green and white dress.

Chuck smiles.

Chuck gets up to go.

CUT TO: INT. AUDITION ROOM – DAY. ROKK KRINN, IMRA ARDEEN and GARTH RANZZ are sitting behind a table. Chuck enters and approaches them.

Chuck inflates and bounces a few times.

Chuck leaves with a sad look on his face.

CUT TO: INT. NINE PLANETS ICE CREAM SHOPPE – DAY. Chuck is sitting at the counter drowning his sorrows in a chocolate shake. Suddenly an alarm is heard outside. Chuck takes a few credit chips out of his pocket and hands them to the soda jerk.

Chuck runs out of the shop to see what is going on outside.

CUT TO: EXT. NINE PLANETS ICE CREAM SHOPPE -- DAY. Chuck runs out of the shop and sees the thief from earlier running out of a bank. He has on some electronic equipment he didn't have before. Luornu is moving in to intercept the thief. She splits into her three bodies.

The thief grabs each of the Luornus and they freeze in place.

Chuck bounces in front of the thief.

Chuck inflates and bounces toward the thief. The thief grabs him, but it has no effect on Chuck. Chuck then punches the thief out. Luornu recovers, reintegrates into one person and approaches Chuck.

Luornu smiles and walks away. Chuck looks after her.

CUT TO: OTTO ORION'S MANSION -- NIGHT. OTTO ORION is sitting in his den. There are tons of stuffed animal heads on the walls.

There is a knock on the door.

The door opens and it's ADAM ORION, Otto's son.

Otto smiles an evil smile as if he's had a cunning plan.

CUT TO: INT. LEGION HQ -- DAY. Chuck enters and goes up to Rokk Krinn, the current Leader of the Legion.

Another Legionnaire, REEP DAGGLE, enters with a note. Reep has orange skin and is bald. He also has antennas coming out of the top of his head.

CUT TO: EXT. LEGION HQ -- DAY. Rokk is swearing Chuck in as a Legionnaire. All the Legionnaires are standing around as he's being sworn in.

CUT TO: EXT. FIELD -- DAY. Otto Orion is waiting for a Legionnaire to show up. Chuck enters.

Chuck inflates and bounces into the forest. Once in the forest, the trees hamper his bouncing, so he starts running instead. A tiger in the forest attacks him, but he is able to leap out of its way.

CUT TO: Otto, having finished waiting his five minutes gets on a hover-bike and rides it into the forest.

CUT TO: Montage sequence of Chuck running in the forest, and Otto following his trail.

CUT TO: MOUNTAIN TOP -- DAY. Chuck is bouncing up the mountain when Otto cuts him off and shoots at him with a laser rifle. Chuck bounces out of the way of the shot, then bounces up and knocks Otto off of his hover-bike. Otto takes a swing at him with a knife, but Chuck is able to dodge it. Chuck returns to bouncing up the mountain and finally gets to the top, where Luornu is waiting in her cage. Chuck reaches for the button that will open the cage. Otto makes one last ditch attempt to stop him but Chuck hits the button and opens the cage. When the cage opens, there's a sound of a small explosion, and Otto falls down to the ground bleeding. Chuck goes over to him.

Otto dies, and Chuck and Luornu stand, staring at him.

CUT TO: EXT. CEMETARY -- DAY. Otto Orion has been buried and the services are over. Chuck approaches Adam Orion.

Luornu approaches Chuck.

They kiss long and passionately

There is an abrupt cut to a shot where they aren't kissing.

Luornu walks away from Chuck.

FADE OUT.
