WARNING: Potential Spoilers for DC's Spring Breakout #1!Harley Quinn not only saves the day but also rescues Superman himself from Mister Mxyzptlk using her newly cosmically upgraded mallet. Moreover, the way this weapon came into existence indisputably proves that the Gotham Siren now belongs in the same power league as Mister Mxyzptlk, elevating her to one of the most formidable characters in the DC Universe.

Spring has sprung DC’s Spring Breakout, an 80-page anthology featuring eight short stories, one of which stars the incomparable Harley Quinn. In Joey Esposito and Vasco Georgiev's Field Trip, Harley takes center stage, orchestrating the breakout of her Suicide Squad teammate, King Shark, to throw him an unforgettable birthday bash.

However, Harley's plans for Nanaue's celebration hit a snag as they unintentionally encounter various Justice League members, including Superman, who falls victim to Mister Mxyzptlk's antics. To prove she's put her villain days behind her, Harley takes it upon herself to save Superman with the help of her new mallet.

Harley Quinn Takes on Mister Mxyzptlk and Saves Superman With Her Cosmic Mallet Upgrade

Harley and King Shark's well-intentioned escapades lead them to encounter Justice League members like Zatanna and Green Lantern, both of whom accuse the Gotham Siren of being a "bad guy." This accusation deeply offends Harley, considering her ongoing efforts to leave her villainous past behind. In the height of her frustration at being labeled a villain, Harley seizes the opportunity to rescue Superman and creates her own fifth-dimensional mallet, using discarded letters from a dialogue bubble Mister Mxyzptlk had deconstructed. With its fifth-dimensional origins, this mallet undoubtedly represents Harley's ultimate weapon upgrade.

This upgrade is the perfect fit for Harley, given her longstanding preference for mallets as her weapon of choice. Yet, this mallet stands out from its predecessors due to its unique origins and composition. While Harley's usual mallets are typically crafted from wood, hard plastic, or occasionally metal, this fifth-dimensional version is crafted from dialogue letters, adding to its eccentricity. As Harley creates the mallet in what seems to be a fifth-dimensional pocket of reality, it raises intriguing questions about its potential outside the fifth dimension and if this new weapon will be integrated into Harley's main storyline.

Harley Quinn Just Proved That She Is in the Same Power League as Mister Mxyzptlk

After crafting her mallet, Harley proceeds to wield it for its intended purpose: bashing some heads. She swings it at Mister Mxyzptlk, causing the fifth-dimensional imp to cough up candy corn and admit defeat to the Gotham Siren, acknowledging her apparent ease in controlling the fifth dimension. While this admission may seem casual, it marks a significant character development for Harley Quinn, propelling her to the pinnacle of DC's power hierarchy. Previously, beings like Mister Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite were among the rare few capable of controlling the fifth dimension. With this newfound ability, Harley Quinn ascends to their power level.
