JUSTICE LEAGUE

Christopher Lee Smith
Teams up with the Justice League to stop Gorilla Grodd
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
December 25, 2003
The greatest super heroes of all time have joined
together to battle the forces of evil as – the Justice
League! One of the group’s most dangerous foes is the
super-intelligent gorilla named Grodd. A renegade
scientist from a hidden city of intelligent apes, Grodd
possesses enormous physical strength and a powerful
mind. Only the Justice League stands between this
diabolical villain and his goal to conquer all mankind!
Christopher Lee Smith, age 7, was thrilled to be one of
the first visitors at The Adventure Zone, an incredible
new theme park that just opened near San Diego,
California.
Chris rode the park’s Jungle Ride and saw
ferocious wild animals. The next attraction was the
water show. Four dolphins jumped right over the
audience’s heads to get to their lunch! Chris
couldn’t wait to come back and show Pam, Fred and Sam
the amazing dolphins.
But Chris ’s perfect day was ruined when a panic
started in the park.
“What’s going on?” Chris asked a boy hurrying by.
“The animals are loose! Run for your life!” shouted the
boy.
Chris tried to get out of the park, but there was
a herd of elephants blocking the path to the main gates.
Chris decided he needed to find a place to
hide – fast!
Chris found a bush to hide behind and watched as
a rhinoceros rumbled past. He was amazed when the
rhino suddenly began to rise up into the air. Chris
saw Superman lifting the huge animal over his head and
Chris realized that the Justice League had come
to the rescue!
Wonder Woman tossed her magic lasso around the neck of
an alligator. “How could all these animals have escaped
at once?” she asked.
“You can bet there’s some kind of monkey business going
on,” joked the Flash.
“Whatever it is, I’ll be back as soon as I corral the
giraffe and big cats!” Green Lantern shouted.
“And who better than me to round up these rare golden
eagles?” cried Hawkgirl.
Batman studied the locks on the animal’s cages and
discovered that the stampede was no accident. “The locks
on these cages have been cut with some kind of laser
beam,” said the Caped Crusader. “We need to find out who
did this – and why.”.
A booming voice rang out from the side of the mountain.
“Can it be that you don’t recognize the hand of your old
enemy Grodd at work here, Batman?”.
“Actually, I did. But I wanted you to show yourself,”
said Batman..
“Only so that I can crush you all!” shouted Grodd. The
villainous gorilla began hurling passenger cars from the
Jungle Ride down the side of the mountain. One of them
was heading straight at Chris ! But before he
could react, a red and yellow blur swept him out
of the way.
“Welcome aboard the Flash express. Next stop, safety!”
said the Flash as he carried Chris away from the
falling passenger cars..
Superman and Wonder Woman flew straight to the top of
the mountain. They could see Grodd leaping down the
other side..
“He’s heading for the dolphin pools,” said Superman..
“Don’t let him escape!” Wonder Woman shouted as she
soared over the mountaintop..
In the blink of an eye, the Flash dropped Chris
off out of harm’s way. “I’ve got to run,” he said.
“There’s another monkey that needs to be put back in his
cage!”.
As the Flash sped away toward the dolphin pools,
Chris decided to follow him. The water show was
exciting, but seeing the Justice League battle Grodd was
an act that Chris did not want to miss!.
Superman and Wonder Woman were already closing in on
their foe. Grodd fired laser blasts at his enemies as
they swooped down toward him..
“All of you will fall before the power of Grodd!” he
boasted..
“Put away that pea shooter and come quietly,” said
Superman. Grodd’s laser blasts bounced harmlessly off
Superman’s powerful chest..
Batman hurried to catch up with his teammates. “Don’t
forget how clever Grodd is,” he warned. “We don’t know
what kind of surprises he might have in store for us!”.
Batman was right – Grodd had lured the Justice League
into a trap! He activated a machine that shot out a
powerful beam of light. In an instant, the beam created
an energy cage around each of the heroes.
Superman and Wonder Woman tried with all their might to
break out of the cages, but it was no use.
“Save your strength,” Batman told his teammates.
“Grodd’s machine is absorbing every bit of power you
throw against the cages. You’re just making them
stronger!”
Chris reached the dolphin pools, where he
could hear Grodd’s sinister voice. “Yes, Batman. What
better way to trap super heroes than to use their own
powers against them! And now that there is no one to
defend it, the entire world of man will bow to Grodd!”
Chris ducked behind a large barrel and tried to
think of a way to help the Justice League. But what
could he do to stop an evil super gorilla?
Chris noticed an awful smell coming from the
barrel he was hiding behind. It was filled with
fish for the dolphins. That gave Chris a great
idea!
“Once I have conquered this world, all of mankind will
serve me!” said Grodd. He enjoyed gloating over his
prisoners so much that he didn’t notice Chris
rolling the barrel of fish toward the edge of the pool.
But the dolphins in the other pool certainly noticed!
They knew from experience that the barrel was full of
their favorite food.
Chris spilled the whole barrel of fish into the
pool. “Dinner time! Come and get it!” he said.
The hungry dolphins immediately leaped out of their
pool. The only thing standing between them and a
delicious dinner was Grodd’s machine, so the dolphins
smashed right through it to get to their fish!
Grodd was taken completely by surprise. “No! My energy
cages are dissolving!” he cried.
Chris cheered as the energy cages holding the
Justice League vanished.
Wonder Woman threw her lasso around Grodd before he
could move. “I can promise that the jail cell you’re
headed for won’t disappear so easily, Grodd!” she said.
The gorilla struggled to pull the golden lasso out of
Wonder Woman’s hands, but she held on tight.
“You haven’t defeated me yet, do-gooders,” Grodd
Growled.
Superman swooped down and lifted Grodd off the ground
with one mighty hand. “Oh, I think we have,” said the
man of steel with a smile.
Being a super-intelligent ape, Grodd was smart enough to
know he couldn’t beat the whole Justice League at once.
He bowed his head in defeat.
“It’s over,” said Superman.
“And here’s the person we have to thank for our escape,”
Batman said, pointing at Chris .
“Hey, those hungry dolphins should get some credit,
too!” added the Flash.
The Justice League made sure that Grodd was locked away
where he would never threaten anyone again. Then they
flew back to San Diego, California and picked up
Chris in their space ship, the Javelin-7.
“We couldn’t have stopped Grodd without your help,
Chris ,” said Superman. “So how about a quick spin
around the Earth as a reward?”
Soon, Chris was rocketing through space with the
Justice League. They flew past the Watchtower, the
team’s space station headquarters, and then circled
around the moon.
“I wish Pam, Fred and Sam could see this!”
Chris said.
“You can tell them all about it when we land at The
Adventure Zone,” said Batman. “We invited everyone to
meet you there.”
Sure enough, when they reached the park, Pam, Fred
and Sam were waiting for Chris . The Justice
League joined in a big parade held in Chris ’s
honor. When it was over, they rode all the rides and sat
through every show right by Chris ’s side!
