- Super-Cycle
The Super-Cycle is a fictional device from
DC Comics , created byJack Kirby for his Fourth World series "TheForever People ".History
The Super-Cycle is a piece of quasi-living
New Genesis technology; it resembles a small three-wheeled car, rather than a motorcycle, and can carry several passengers. Despite having an open top, it can travel atsupersonic speeds (on the ground or by flying) without harm to its passengers using electrons; it can also turn itself and its passengers intangible.Another Super-Cycle was discovered by
Young Justice and was used as their mode of transportation for a time. The two cycles act irrationally at the same time. The Young Justice's one flees on its own, while theForever People 's one has a transforming fit and almost kills Beautiful Dreamer. It is revealed that their erratic behavior was the result of a mating-cycle. The two cycles have their own equivalent of sex, which immediately results in the creation of a baby cycle named 'Kirby', in obvious honor of Jack Kirby. The Young Justice Super-Cycle returns to Earth with the team, while the Forever People's Cycle and the baby remain on New Genesis.It is seen in the mini-series, "
Death of the New Gods " #4 (2008) outside the Forever People's headquarters.Superman , Orion, andMister Miracle arrive at the building to investigate the deaths of multiple New Gods. They find the Forever People had been slain many weeks ago.
