They set up their base on the planet of Orando and steal several fusion power-spheres and the Earth's polymer shield in their plans to shift the entire planet of Orando into another dimension. The LSV kidnap Light Lass from Winath, capture Karate Kid and Queen Projectra on their return from their honeymoon and are able to capture several Legionnaires while acquiring the polymer shield and then imprison all of their captives in a dungeon on Orando. Light Lass escapes after being attacked by Lightning Lord because she would not join him and stows away on a ship in which several members of the LSV are going to attack more Legionnaires. After finding that her Lightning powers have returned and disabling the LSV members on the ship, she returns to Orando and helps the captured Legionnaires, who have escaped, battle the LSV. During the battle, Nemisis Kid critically wounds Karate Kid in hand-to-hand combat and Karate Kid sacrifices his life in an attempt to disable the power-sphere device that surrounds Orando.

Saturn Girl comes out of a mind-washed state and finds herself on an unknown world with several other heroes from throughout the galaxy, including fellow Legionnaires Brainiac 5, Dream Girl and Chameleon Boy. After she frees them from their similar condition, the four work together to free the rest of the inhabitants who then leave the world to return to their own homes. As the four Legionnaires return to Earth, they discover that it has once again been taken over by Universo. While having to battle their team-mates, the Legionnaires are finally able to defeat Universo once again. > Saturn Girl rejoins. > THE DEATH OF SUPERBOY <After discovering that Superboy never existed during his visit to the 20th century, Cosmic Boy leads several Legionnaires in a mission to the future to confront the Time Trapper, but they are diverted back in time to the pocket dimension Earth of Superboy. Superboy ambushes four of the Legionnaires as the others slip back into the time stream and arrive in the late 1980's of the real universe where they meet a grown Superman, who reveals to them that he has never been Superboy. The Legionnaires relate the origins of the Legion of Super-Heroes and the role that Superboy played in their group to Superman before Superboy himself arrives and attacks. He returns to Pocket Earth with the remaining Legionnaires, but when the Trapper demands that he kill them, he refuses and attacks the villain with the Legionnaires. The Time Trapper disables a machine which prevented the destruction of Pocket Earth from energies unleashed during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and escapes as Superboy uses his own body to power the machine and remove pocket Earth from danger, seriously injuring himself in the process. Superboy then helps the Legionnaires return to their own time before dying as the "Greatest Hero of Them All". |
