Story Featuring Legion of Super-Heroes

Storyline

As the Legion attempts to evacuate the planet Mordan before its star goes nova, they are confronted by the Fatal Five who want the inhabitants of Mordan to be converted into priceless energite when their star explodes, and have taken Karate Kid and Princess Projectra hostage to make sure the Legion doesn't interfere.

Story Notes

On page 12, during Colossal Boy's fight with Validus, the narration Validus "may kill his first Legionare!" But Validus killed Invisible Kid (Lyle Norg) in Superboy #203. Evidently the writer meant to say "second", but it was changed in editing.

Chapter 2: 3 Hours to... Holocaust!

Story Featuring Legion of Super-Heroes

Storyline

After delaying the Legion's efforts to save the inhabitants of Mordan, the Fatal Five regroup on Tharok's ship. The Legion mounts a sneak attack on the ship and tricks Tharok into revealing where the control for the device causing the star to go nova is. But when the Fatal Five is subdued, Tharok causes the ship to self-destruct. The Legion escapes the ship, leaving the Fatal Five behind, but Superboy is certain they will meet them again.

Story Notes

Originally intended for #232 before the title went to giant-size. There are no credits on this story, so Netzer uncredited on item. Artist contacted GCD to correct the credit April 2008.
