| > Universo destroys his Earthgov Resistance base, killing the Dark Circle agents within. > Reep Daggle reunites with RJ Brande on Yal, where they encounter the presumed dead Kid Quantum, who is actually the Soul of Antares, a member of the Protean species that was chosen to bear the sentience of his entire race in order to prevent Glorith from manipulating them. As they are leaving to reunite with and restore the Protean civilization, they are taken captive by Leland McCauley IV. > The Dominators are finally forced to surrender their hold over Earthgov due to full scale attacks by the UP, Jacques Foccart's resistance faction and the SW6 Legionnaires as well as reported attacks on their homeworld of Elia by the Khunds. > Dirk Morgna survives the explosion of the underground chambers and emerges horribly disfigured and incoherent. He is discovered by the SW6 Sun Boy, Ferro and Cosmic Boy and identified by Bounty and the former Chief of the Science Police, Circe, who was also his companion. > Jacques Foccart is named the interim President of Earth and is officialy elected at a later date. > Dirk Morgna is killed by Circe to release him from his tortured existence. She then kills herself due to guilt from her dealings with the Dominator Earthgov and subsequent condition of Dirk. > Bounty recognizes Sade as a wanted criminal and decides to apprehend her. In the firefight that ensues, Sade seriously wounds Bounty, which forces the Bounty persona to abandon Dawnstar's body. > The SW6 Valor takes a time bubble into the past to discover the truth behind the SW6 Legion. > Following violent upheavels and disasters on Earth, Querl Dox and the SW6 Brainiac 5 determine that the planet is destabilizing due to tons of toxic waste called proton Jelly being agitated by the explosions of the underground chambers. Evacuation efforts begin and an ancient defensive measure is activated which expands individual domes over 102 of the Earth's major cities and then rockets them out of the planet's atmosphere into space, where they link together through a series of tunnels. Despite the efforts of the adult Legion, the SW6 Legion and many of their allies, over 2 billion people die as the Earth explodes. 94 of Earth's cities surviveto form New Earth, which is an enormous space station composed of the connected cities. Millions of the Earth's inhabitants return to the cities and begin rebuilding. > Devlin O'Ryan joins. > Several of the SW6 Legionnaires travel to Gallan after receiving a message from Leland McCauley III regarding the kidnapping of RJ Brande and Reep Daggle by his son, Leland McCauley IV. McCauley IV agrees to release his captives to prevent legal action, but escapes punishment against himself due to threats of legal action against the SW6 Legionnaires for trespassing and various other infractions. > Reep Daggle resigns from the Legion to become the adult advisor to the SW6 Legionnaires as they set their headquarters on New Earth. Jacques Foccart resigns as New Earth President to become the co-leader of the adult Legion. Troy Stewart, formerly Foccart's Vice-President becomes President. The SW6 Legion splits off into its own book called Legionnaires. To easily distinguish between the adult Legion and the teen-aged Legion, the SW6 Legionnaires' entries will be color coded in yellow unless the entry includes both teams. > The SW6 Legionnaires officially form New Earth's Legion of Super-Heroes with Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Live Wire, Alchemist, Andromeda, Apparition, Brainiac 5, Ferro, Gossamer, Inferno, Invisible Kid, Leviathan, Matter-Eater Lad, Shrinking Violet, Triad and Ultra Boy. They are joined by Dragonmage, Catspaw and Computo, who is Jacques Foccart's sister, Danielle. > Glorith has revived Luornu Durgo's second body, which she seemingly killed, and forces her to kidnap Imra Ardeen, her Luornu twin, Rond Vidar, Laurel Gand and Querl Dox in order to revenge herself upon this group which had attacked and weakened her after she murdered the population of Daxam. The captive Querl reveals himself to actually be Reep Daggle, who activates a transportation device which brings the true Querl. He informs Luornu that his force-field belt had infused her with the ability to mentally create force fields and she encases Glorith in one, forcing her to surrender. > The Emerald Eye selects a new host, Cera Kesh, a rejected Legion applicant who was rudely teased by Inferno and Live Wire. > Leland McCauley IV forms a new Fatal Five with Tharok, Persuader, Mano, Mordecai and his own Emerald Empress, who also possesses an Emerald Eye. Their attack on a meeting between New Earth and the United Planets is stopped by the Legion but McCauley's Emerald Empress panics and escapes back to his base. Cera Kesh follows her and kills her for being an embarassment and too weak to properly control the second Emerald Eye. She then confronts McCauley and the two battle over who will wield both Eyes. Cera triumphs when McCauley is distracted by the Legionnaires and escapes with both Eyes, leaving McCauley to deteriorate from a disease which was held in check by his Emerald Eye. She then frees the captured Fatal Five members from prison to lead them. > Jacques Foccart, Drura Sehpt (Infectious Lass) and Sussa Paka join. > LEGION OF THE DEAD <Mysa Nal locates a crystal Amethyst statue in the fragments of the Sorceror's World with the aid of the 20th century hero, J'onn Jonzz, but the statue explodes, encasing Mysa in Amethyst armor and physically transforming her as she becomes possessed with rage and a desire for revenge against Mordru. J'onn Jonzz becomes possessed by the actual spirit of Amethyst and heads to Talus to warn the Legion about Mysa and Mordru. When Mysa confronts Mordru, as he had planned when he planted the Amethyst statue, the two battle and Mordru casts a spell which allows him to merge Mysa and her power into himself. With his increased power, he casts a spell which would retroactively re-create the universe into a version in which he had conquered and ruled many years earlier. His spell fails due to the actions of the Legion with a warning from inhabitants of the alternate reality in which he rules. Frustrated with his failure, he decides to conquer the existing universe by re-animating the corpses of dead sentients throughout the United Planets, including many deceased Legionnaires and the murdered Daxamites, into an unbeatable army. The Khunds join forces with the Legion and the UP to battle Mordru's army. Firefist, Veilmist, Bloodclaw and Flederweb join the team. J'onn arrives on Talus and the Amethyst spirit transfers to Kono, after which they pick up Tenzil Kem and Nura Nal (Dream Girl) and head to Tharn. Bloodclaw is killed in battle with the dead army. Roxxas returns to Trom to help Mordru's spell re-animate the Trommites, hoping to redeem himself for killing them years earlier. Jan Arrah is able to stop the re-animated Trommites but causes serious injury to himself in the process. The Legion disables the re-animating spell and the dead army is defeated. They travel to Tharn to confront Mordru. Querl Dox and Projectra attempt to separate Mysa from Mordru by combining science with magic but fail and Mordru buries the Legion, except for Devlin O'Ryan. Devlin is able to free his comrades after Mordru attacks him with a mystical bolt, which is reflected back at Mordru and temporarily disables him. The Amethyst spirit leaves Kono and helps Mysa separate from Mordru. Mysa removes Mordru's mystical powers, reverting him to a powerless, frail old man. > Against their wishes, Flederweb and Veilmist are forced to resign from the Legion and return to Khundia along with a badly injured Firefist. > Brin Londo returns from the 20th century. > Wildfire's energy re-animates Dirk Morgna's body. > Jan Arrah's spirit leaves his body to die but is convinced that it is not his time by the spirits of the Trommite people. He awakens to find Sean Erin at his side. |
