In "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes Chapter 5: Revenge of the Rejects," Superman and the Legion return to Earth, but their mission takes a sharp turn when they enlist the Legion of Substitute-Heroes to create a distraction—leading to a surprise assault on Justice League headquarters by a hijacked space bus. As the main team infiltrates the hidden base, they uncover the real reason behind the Legionnaires' disappearance: a genuine crystal tablet declaring Superman human, a captured Sun Boy whose device has altered the sun’s color, and a shocking deception—Chameleon Girl is actually Earth-Man, who resents Superman for being accepted into the Legion while he was rejected. The confrontation escalates as Earth-Man, wielding the stolen powers of every Legionnaire, gains the upper hand—until Superman forces the battle into Earth's orbit. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Gary Frank, with cover art by Gary Frank, this pivotal chapter blends high-stakes intrigue with emotional stakes, setting the stage for a cosmic showdown.
