The power of a True Rune. Few things in any world can hope to even survive standing against one of these emblems of primal power, much less defeat one. Especially one with as much offensive might and will to destroy as the Rune of Punishment.
How unfortunate for Lazlo that defending the world from horrible magic of ultimate destruction is just one of those things that superheros do.
One dramatic pre-battle speech, two Re-Al Phoenixes and one lecture on Power and Responsibility later, and Lazlo had seen the light and swore to repent of his villainous ways and fight for JUSTICE from now on.
Red was rather pleased with himself on how easily that went until Jennifer reminded him that Lazlo was never actually a bad guy in the first place and his whole speech was really just preaching to the choir.
Hey, even the Ultimate Superhero is allowed to have off days.
