Publisher's synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
Two beings from space. Both adopted into normal Earthling families. Both have conquered the power of flight. Both masters of disguise. Only one is like, really obsessed with phones. Find out which two heroes will be joining the fight against evil-doers, criminals, and just bad dudes in the LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ Multiverse this September!
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Supergirl hosts a broadcast entitled Meet That Hero! about a fellow extraterrestrial hero like herself, E.T.. She summarises E.T.'s biography: after being brought to Earth by a spaceship, he became stranded there and was taken in by a human family. He subsequently made use of his superpowers to help those in need.
E.T. himself surprises Supergirl by making a Kryptonian singing flower grow. Overjoyed, Supergirl voices her newfound wish to created an "alien club". The Twelfth Doctor interrupts her with enthusiastic support for the idea and waves at his TARDIS, ostensibly putting forward that it could be used to assemble the members.
E.T., however, can only focus on the outer appearance as a phone-box, and appreciatively mutters "Phooooone" to the others' mild confusion.

Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In the context of the video game LEGO Dimensions [+]Loading...["LEGO Dimensions (video game)"], for which this story served as a kind of prelude, E.T., Supergirl and the Twelfth Doctor all inhabit different parallel universes to one another, with various portals and the TARDIS itself being what allows the characters to meet.
- This story crosses over with the DC Multiverse, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and The LEGO Movie.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Supergirl uses pictures of Clark Kent and Superman to demonstrate that although they are the same person, his "disguise" of a pair of glasses somehow obscures this fact for everyone he knows. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio)
