  Episode Quotes  
Jax-Ur: All over this planet we are tearing down the irrational past in order to make room had an efficient future. In one year, we had put a new face on this world, creating the paradise Krypton would've been under our rule.
Superman: Now if only someone down there would smile.
 
Mala: I hope you're not thinking of opposing us, Kal-El. We've had a year to develop our powers.
Jax-Ur: I don't think we have to worry about that, Mala. Kal-El knows his place, and this planet is simply out of his jurisdiction.
 
Jax-Ur: I've had my troopers recover your ship. You'll find it undamaged. Though I'm sure you'll want to x-ray it yourself. I know I would...
 
Superman: I can't fight them, Cetea.
Cetea: You must! You're the only one powerful enough!
Superman: If I do, your planet will be the loser. A battle between us would cause more destruction and bloodshed than all the wars that came before.
Cetea: We're willing to risk it.
Superman: I'm not. Not that way.
 
Jax-Ur: Mesmerizing! Of all the phenomena of nature none fascinates me more than a Black Hole. It is the one true force of absolute power. Everything it touched becomes its own.
Superman: You would admire that...
 
Jax-Ur: Think of it, Kal-El: you might actually last long enough to get a glimpse inside the Hole. I almost envy you...
Mala: Almost.
 
Cetea: Plague on you and your self-serving treachery, Alterus.
Alterus: My dear Cetea, I deserve much worse than that.
 
Superman: Although Cetea's people were grateful for my help, I wondered if it wasn't I who should be grateful. They reminded me of the saying: "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." I won't forget it again.
 
  Cultural References  
Mala: When the meteors collided, the released energy tore open a riff into the Phantom Zone.

The way Jax-Ur and Mala escape from the Phantom Zone is very similar to the way General Zod, Ursa and Non did in Superman II.
