Synopsis
  • Mon-El and Shadow Lass analyze a female member of the Servants of Darkness. Shadow Lass is bothered by the fact that this particular specimen is cloned from the DNA of her ancestor Lydea Mallor. On the planet Avalon, the Servants of Darkness use the Astro-Force to awaken Mordru from his slumber beneath the earth. Mordru rebels against the servants, but their shadowy leader appears and renders Mordru insensate. At the United Planets Government complex, Reep Daggle confers with his lawyer over his pending imprisonment. At Legion HQ, the Legionnaires cast their initial ballots for a new team leader. Element Lad is very eager to maintain his position as leader. Later, Mon-El, Shadow Lass and Ultra Boy go to Takron-Galtos to clean up after a massive escape attempt. They come into conflict with the Servants of Darkness. Another squad of Legionnaires goes to Avalon where they find Mordru sitting in a smoldering crater mumbling to himself. They know that the Servants' leader is more powerful than even their toughest adversaries. Another group of Legionnaires attend Dream Girl to her home world Naltor to meet up with her sister the White Witch. The Servants of Darkness appear there as well and fight the Legionnaires. Dream Girl has a vision and learns that they are fated to lose against the Servants and their master.
  • At Legion HQ, Saturn Girl watches over the convalescing Lightning Lad. She begins thinking about the strange illness that had so suddenly taken hold of him. Her reverie is broken, when Cosmic Boy calls to give her an update on the Legion's investigation of the Servants of Darkness. A short time later, the captured female Servant in their charge breaks free and begins wreaking havoc. Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl rush to the chamber, but the Servant is able to counter their powers. Lightning Lad manages to pull himself out of bed and uses his electrical powers to incapacitate the servant. After everything settles down, the three learn that Dream Girl has been elected the new leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Notes
  • * Dream Girl becomes the new leader of the Legion in this issue.
quotation
  • Has it not struck you that Mordru's babbling indicates that this is most probably a result of efforts of the Servants of Darkness... or their master, who we know nothing about... except for the solitary chilling fact that he seems capable of casually stealing the power from our deadliest enemy for his own use?
