Rogard is ready to stand down when Kent panics and orders the missile launch. Rogard furiously reminds Kent that the missile is locked onto the Giant’s current position and they will all be killed in the blast radius. Kent tries to escape but the Giant stops him, and Rogard’s men secure him. Hogarth explains to the Giant what will happen when the missile strikes. The Giant says farewell to Hogarth and flies off to intercept the missile, remembering Hogarth’s words about being who ones chose to be, and the Giant says, „Superman“ just before collision. The missile explodes harmlessly in the atmosphere. As the townspeople and military are relieved to be alive, Hogarth is saddened by the robot’s apparent destruction.
