There they are alerted by the security system of an intruder and Superboy is shocked to find it is his old tormentor Dev-Em. Capturing Dev-Em, Superboy explains how Dev-Em was a juvenile delinquent on Krypton who was sentenced to suspended animation, survived Krypton's destruction and was revived on 20th Century Earth. Superboy then recounts about how Dev-Em managed to trap Superboy in the Phantom Zone and pose as him to cause chaos around Earth.

However, when reporting back into the I.C.C., Dev-Em has his mission to stop interplanetary criminal Molock to Superboy. Disguising himself as Dev-Em, Superboy manages to bluff Molock with fake Gold Kryptonite, which is actually Proty II in disguise. After Superboy smashes up Molock's operation and turns him over to the police, the Legion offers Dev-Em membership in the Legion, to which Dev-Em declines, preferring to work with the I.C.C. - via DC Wikia GIVEAWAY Thanks to one of our fantastic listeners, we are giving away a copy of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Volume One.

May 1964 w: Edmond Hamilton a: John Forte & George Papp After finishing his homework, Superboy travels to the 30th Century for his regular visit with the Legion of Super-Heroes. There they are alerted by the security system of an intruder and Superboy is shocked to find it is his old tormentor Dev-Em. Capturing Dev-Em, Superboy explains how Dev-Em was a juvenile delinquent on Krypton who was sentenced to suspended animation, survived Krypton's destruction and was revived on 20th Century Earth. Superboy then recounts about how Dev-Em managed to trap Superboy in the Phantom Zone and pose as him to cause chaos around Earth. After returning from the Phantom Zone, Superboy was unable to stop Dev-Em who escaped into the distant future. Superboy would finish his story by explaining that the only way he was able to clear his name was with the help of his friend Chief Parker who told everyone Red Kryptonite was the "reason" for Superboy's rampage. However, it is revealed that Dev-Em has turned over a new leaf in the 30th Century and is a member of the Inter-Stellar Counter-Intelligence Corps. However, when reporting back into the I.C.C., Dev-Em has his mission to stop interplanetary criminal Molock to Superboy. Disguising himself as Dev-Em, Superboy manages to bluff Molock with fake Gold Kryptonite, which is actually Proty II in disguise. After Superboy smashes up Molock's operation and turns him over to the police, the Legion offers Dev-Em membership in the Legion, to which Dev-Em declines, preferring to work with the I.C.C. - via DC Wikia GIVEAWAYThanks to one of our fantastic listeners, we are giving away a copy of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Volume One.

The Subs continue their look at the Action Comics run. Meanwhile, Paul has some big news, Darren has a rant, Ultra Boy uses his tremendous acting abilities and Chameleon Boy has a new secret identity!

The Subs take a look at Legion of Super Heroes #5, as Levitz, Cinar and Co. turn up the heat, in more ways than one! Then it’s back in time, to Legion 301, as Chameleon Boy and R.J. Brande head to Durla to get Cham’s powers back. All this, plus some discussion on Keith Giffen’s […]

Now that they’ve reset the timeline, the Subs are back with the real episode 78. Darren, Matt, Scott and Paul delve into Legion of Super Heroes #289. Saturn Girl and Timber Wolf get cozy, and things start to turn around for Colossal Boy. Chameleon Boy, however, gets a rock.

Chameleon Boy’s Espionage Squad lands in hot water on Khundia as Darren, Matt, Scott and Paul tackle Legion of Super Heroes 287. Keith Giffen takes the lead feature, while Pat Broderick pencils the backup story, which foreshadows the Great Darkness Saga. All this and a new rule for the drinking game. Kathoom!
