Superman and Mr. Terrific are standing on a sidewalk looking at the wall of a large building. There’s a huge vertical crack running up the side, and it’s apparent that this building was split by the rift and later rejoined when Mr. Terrific reversed the rift. However, one side of the cracked wall sticks out several inches farther than the other side. Mr. Terrific notices that Superman is kind of bothered and asks him what’s wrong. Superman points out that the wall is a little off. Annoyed, Mr. Terrific says “What do you want me to do? Do you want me to take it apart and put it back together?!” Superman says “No, it’s just…” An annoyed Mr. Terrific walks off, and Superman apologizes, saying he didn’t mean to bum him out and he shouldn’t have brought it up. Then Superman turns and says to himself, “Darn it, I can be such a jerk sometimes.”
