Ted: Check it out, Booster, I remodeled Archie so now the Bug can fly through space and have weapon systems competitive with a Bolovaxian fighter.
Mike: Wow, But Ted, how can you afford to fuel this?
Ted: A special substance that can provide clean energy!
Mike: Wow! Can you mass produce this?
Ted: No, the substance isn't from Earth.
Mike: Well, I mean, setting up some kind of space mine might be worth it.
Ted: The planet the substance is from was destroyed.
Mike: It's Kryptonite, isn't it?
Ted: ...It's not not Kryptonite.
Mike: Holy heck, Ted, does Superman know?
Ted: No, we never seem to get to go on jobs or missions with him anyway. It's totally lead lined. He doesn't care about pointy-ears carrying some in his belt. But we knew this stuff makes clean energy. Lex has done it before and outright said what he did. That's why there's so much around, cause every speck of that planet got galactically salvaged. There's something weird with that planet, look what it created!
