About This Item

Superman Travel Bug

Green Lantern
Report Filed November 14, 2001

Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom have perfected teleportation device that has scattered the four core Superfriends to the four corners of the continental United States, also robbing them of their powers. We will need the help of the ordinary citizens to transport them back to their place of origins to regain their powers, and then bring them back to the Hall of Justice. Plastic Man, Flash and Hawkman have been helping out, but our efforts are stretched so thin that we've called on the world of Marvel Comics to help hold down the fort at the Hall of Justice. Professor Xavier and his crew have set up temporary residence in the Hall of Justice as well. Superman has been sent to the farthest southeast state - Florida - and needs to go back to Metropolis to regain his powers before returning to the Hall of Justice. We are asking citizens that come across Superman to speed him on his journey, moving from Geocache to Geocache, until he can regain his powers by visiting the cache closest to Metropolis, Illinois, home of the Giant Superman Statue. Currently, the cache closest to that zip code of 62960 is Superman, GC2E8B, but click here to be sure Once there, it will be the ordinary citizen's job to transport the Man of Steel to the cache Hall of Justice II (GC7FF0) to rejoin his friends before the Legion of Doom takes over the world. And of course, the more pictures by key landmarks taken, the better.

Found Superman in a bog filled with kryptonite. Poor guy was helpless. I removed him from the trap. Will release him soon.

Found Superman at mission #2, but I don't think he's made it to Metropolis, IL (southern tip) yet. We'll send him on his way soon. Hopefully some snowbirds will be heading south for the winter and will give him a lift!

Found Superman along with soldier man and will decide what I want to do with them. I may have to separate them as all superman wants to do is pick up chicks. Perhaps the proper thing to do is place him in The Hall of Justice II for some R&R with Kelly before trying again to send him to Metropolis. What he does in the next couple of days will help me decide.

Picked him up, and decided to take him for a ride in the Jeep Cachin' Machine and drop him off at another cache later in the day. At the Cache site, he was teamed up with Soldier Man TB which we had with us. As you can see by the picture, it did not take the 2 of them to long before they were cruising for chicks in the Jeep.

  • Superman Meets Soldier Man The 2 Travel Bugs meet one another as we pulled him out of his cache. They hit it off instantly.
  • Picking up the Chicks The 2 Travel Bugs wasted no time partying and trying to get a date.

Unfortunately none of the eight caches I visited today were large enough. Decided to mark his visit to the Great Village fo the Marameck Cache as it is such a wonderful cache.
