> A new Legion of Substitue-Heroes is formed by Cosmic Boy, Night Girl, Duo Damsel, Bouncing Boy and several members of the Legion Academy after disabling a secretive Dominion base on Kathoon.
> Laurel Kent, a student at the Legion Academy who was believed to be a descendent of Superman, reveals herself to be a Manhunter android with a mission to kill an immortal offshoot race of humanity that was exposed by the Guardians of the Galaxy in the 20th century.  After discovering that her mission has failed, she self-destructs.

> THE MAGIC WARS <The mages of Zerox, the Sorceror's World, send a warning to the Legion that science is failing and magic will prevail.  Shortly thereafter, technology throughout the universe ceases to function and creatures of myth and magic begin appearing and causing havoc.  The Legionaires are able to temporarily restore the use of technology and science to Earth with the aid of sorceress allies and journey to Zerox to try to restore scientific order to the universe as well.  Arriving at Zerox, the Legionnaires discover the planet has been encased in a gigantic prison with a lock that requires a human sacrifice to be opened. Magnetic Kid sacrifices himself to free the planet and an enormous mystical creature called the Archmage emerges.  The creature had been imprisoned within Zerox's core eons before and had escaped due to a disruption in magical energies throughout the universe.  The Legion discovers the inhabitants of Sorceror's World leaving the planet through a portal, but the White Witch stays behind to help them.  She tries to prevent the Archmage from destroying Zerox but ceases her efforts to stop him with guidance from Saturn Girl, Tellus and Blok, who have been in communication with the planet itself and learned that the world wants to be destroyed.  After destroying the planet, the Archmage prepares to set out and cause untold chaos throughout the galaxy but discovers that his own existence was tied to the planet, and by destroying the planet he has destroyed himself.  He then fades into nonexistence.  The Legion stands battered but triumphant.  Seeing the destruction left behind the Magic Wars, they rededicate themselves to their heroic ideals and vow to do what needs to be done to make the universe right again, as long as the Legion exists.

------------------------------------------------------------ FIVE YEAR GAP -----------------------------------------------------------
Five years pass from the end of the Magic Wars until the introduction of a NEW Legion of Super-Heroes book.  Many events happened during the five years which were related throughout the new series.  Here are some highlights.
---------------------------------------------------- AFTER THE FIVE YEAR GAP ---------------------------------------------------
The NEW Legion of Super-Heroes book begins without a Legion.  As the group comes back together, they do not adopt their old costumes or code-names.  For the remainder of the Preboot History Highlights, the adult Legionnaires will be referred to by their actual names rather than code-names.  To help in their recognition, their previous code-name will be noted when they are first mentioned in GREEN.
