Newly released from prison by a corrupt Earthgov, Roxxas, the butcher of Trom, embarks upon his assignment: to kill the former Legionnaire, Blok. Will Blok's silicon nature allow him to cheat death, or will Roxxas take another life?

Mordru holds Rond Vidar captive, torturing him, and destroying his Green Lantern ring. He is then informed, by his probes, that the old Legion of Super-Heroes are in the motions of recreating the team. Chameleon Boy and Cosmic Boy reach out to Ultra Boy, who enthusiastically agrees to join. He also brings Kono to enter the fold. Meanwhile, the Earthgov sends Roxxas to send a message to the amassing Legionnaires. He kills Blok and sends his body to Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, who are living on Winath.
