====Part 1====

Alerted to a bank robbery, the Legionnaires find that another youth has arrived and stopped the criminals by creating a frightening illusion of the getaway car turning into a monster. The youth introduces himself as [[Command Kid/Preboot#Pre-Crisis|Command Kid]] and, though he’s evasive about his origin, the Legion invites him to join anyway. They soon regret this decision as Command Kid behaves arrogantly and upstages his teammates every chance he gets. Feeling demoralized, the Legionnaires express a desire to have greater powers such as Command Kid’s. He gives them each a pill that places them in suspended animation and tells them that when they wake up, they will be just like him .

Synopsis

Part 1

Alerted to a bank robbery, the Legionnaires find that another youth has arrived and stopped the criminals by creating a frightening illusion of the getaway car turning into a monster. The youth introduces himself as Command Kid and, though he’s evasive about his origin, the Legion invites him to join anyway. They soon regret this decision as Command Kid behaves arrogantly and upstages his teammates every chance he gets. Feeling demoralized, the Legionnaires express a desire to have greater powers such as Command Kid’s. He gives them each a pill that places them in suspended animation and tells them that when they wake up, they will be just like him .

Part 2: The Secret of the Legion Rookie!

However, Saturn Girl and Element Lad, though away on a distant mission, have been monitoring activities at Legion Headquarters and do some checking on their own. They discover that Command Kid is possessed by a demon and secretly plans to turn the Legionnaires into hosts for other demons. Saturn Girl and Element Lad arrive in time to stop him: Element Lad transforms Command Kid’s console into gold, the demon’s weakness. The demon leaves, and the now powerless Command Kid resigns from the Legion.
