“The Super-Villains of All Ages! Part I”

From 1963, this Legion of Super-Heroes chapter opens with a genuinely tense cover by Curt Swan and George Klein: a yellow-costumed villain stands atop a hovering craft flanked by two masked, green-clad accomplices, issuing an ultimatum to Superboy — disband the Legion or all 18 members will be destroyed. Below, Superboy, a red-suited Legionnaire, and Saturn Girl look on in frustration as their combined powers of X-ray vision and telepathy fail to pierce the villains' disguises. Featuring Superboy, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, Lightning Lad, Sun Boy, Saturn Girl, and more, this Edmond Hamilton–scripted adventure promises a threat scaled to challenge an entire superhero organization.
