Now, I’m not sure the precise details regarding how the gods of New Genesis and Apokolips call forth the Boom Tube, the mode of transportation, a temporary interdimensional bridge, linking the two worlds together and each to Earth. Orion simply says, “It stems from the waves<\/em> of the mind!<\/em>” Going between the planets in instantaneous fashion, there’s also the pre-Boom Tube “Matter Threshold” and “Dimension Threshold,” and Big Barda’s “Mega-Rod” (“It’s the latest<\/em> from ordnance!! Better than the Boom Tube!<\/em>“).<\/p>\n

But it seems those X-Element fueled modes of instantaneous transport aren’t used to get from one place to another on our home planet. But Star Trek<\/em>-like teleportation on Earth can<\/em> be achieved via phasing circuits sewn into clothing (as so with the Female Furies in “Funky Flashman”) or phasing with The Forever People’s Super-Cycle or when the Super-Kids use Mother Box, as they did in the last issue of their title. There’s also the little-used method of the Tele-Ray, a mode only seen in this second issue of The New Gods<\/em>, I believe.<\/p>\n

After Darkseid and Brola break into Dave Lincoln’s apartment and their unsuccessful confrontation with Orion, the two Apokolips denizens suddenly vanish, Brola in mid-air over a Metropolis street! Surveying the avenue below through a huge gaping hole now aerating the Lincoln abode, Orion says, “Darkseid moves as no one<\/em> on Earth does! His machines are legion<\/em> and infinitely precise!<\/em> It is evident that Brola never<\/em> completed that fall — that Darkseid snatched him by Tele-Ray!”<\/p>\n

And the second — and final — reference to the Tele-Ray in the series is when, with a ZZZTTT<\/em>, Darkseid and his “fighting arm,” Brola, appear by Tele-Ray in “one of the secret bases established beneath the city.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
