“I’d love to join the Teen Titans,” said Veronica.

 

“And Dilton and I could work on building a second mountain headquarters for us near Veronica’s famous giant house,” said Robin, “We could even have a second branch. Titans Riverdale, or something.”

 

“It would be great having another girl on the team,” said Speedy, and then noticing a stern look from Wondergirl added, “Especially since even the Justice League of America doesn’t have anyone with giant size power. She’ll be the opposite of the Atom. I think we’ll accept 50 Foot Veronica as a member, on one condition … That the Archies accept me as a member of their band. I was thinking of setting up some sort of disco concert business and calling it something like Gabe’s Horn, but the Archies are already a singing sensation.”

 

“We haven’t had a super hero in the band before,” said Archie.

 

“I didn’t mean as Speedy. I’m actually Roy Harper,” said Speedy.

 

“That rich guy’s ward!” said Dilton.

 

“One of them,” said Robin, noticing for the first time the similarity between Dick Grayson and Speedy.

In the meantime, Krypto made one of his journeys back to the 20th Century, and was flying around Thunder Mountain on a stormy day, when a bolt of lightning struck the Rescue One. The orange helicopter was disabled, and began to fall to earth. Krypto flew down and grabbed the copter tail in his mouth and landed the craft gently.

 

“Thank you!” said Laura Turner, the mother member of Lassie’s Rescue Rangers, “Now if you can understand me, flying dog, I need you to fly me to where Jackie and I were headed with Rescue One. Lassie and my children are still stranded up on Thunder Mountain.”

 

Krypto let Mrs Turner climb onto his back, and flew up to Thunder Mountain, and located Lassie and the others. He took turns to fly them all down, and from then on abandoned his role in the Legion of Super Pets in the 30th Century. He courted Lassie, sometimes assisting Lassie’s Rescue Rangers, and made Thunder Mountain his new home.

Eventually the circus owner that Superboy had once assisted grew too old to run the show, and sold the business to a new owner, a man named Whip. Jester and Dick Digit, known to be crime fighters, were sacked from the show for no good reason, and hung around in the background to investigate. Yet from a distance, they saw Superstretch and Microwoman infiltrate the circus to uncover Whip’s team of robbers and crooks. Jester was then invited to take over the leadership of the circus, and Dick Digit got talking to Superstretch and Microwoman.

 

“You’re the second woman I’ve met who has the ability to become my size,” said Dick, “I also met the Atom, but he could do a lot more at my size. I didn’t think I’d be much use to the Justice League of America as the poor man’s Atom.”

 

“Well we recently met and helped some other super heroes called Web Woman, Spinner, Manta and Moray,” said Microwoman, “Manta suggested that we form a team, but the best name we could think of was Super Six. Some other group sent their lawyers Depatie & Freleng Slcrs & Attorneys over and threatened to sue us for copyright infringement of the name. We were going to call ourselves the Super 7 instead, but there were only six of us. I don’t have any powers other than my tiny size either, but it’s often helped Stretch and me. If you joined us, we could form the Super 7 group after all.”

 

Dick Digit agreed, and thus was formed the Super 7. One day, after all seven members had finished an adventure together, Manta and Moray swam off below the sea’s surface again, deciding to visit Atlantis after learning of its existence from Dick Digit, who had been told about Aquaman’s kingdom by Flash and Atom years earlier. Web Woman offered Dick Digit a lift back to the circus caravan, where Jester now lived as host of the show, rather than continuing his stringless puppet act with Dick.

 

“You know, Dick, when as Kelly Webster I switch costumes, I like to say ‘Insects of the World, Small creatures of the cosmos, lend me your powers’,” said Web Woman, “I don’t actually acquire their powers, but it does feel good to say it. You too are a small creature of the cosmos.”

 

“But I don’t have any powers to lend you.”

“I was just thinking that Kelly Webster could use a boyfriend,” said Web Woman.

 

After learning that Erica Lane, Lois Lane and Microwoman were all effectively spoken for, not to mention the fact that Web Woman was more gorgeous than all of them combined, Dick Digit was over the moon.
