In "Yesterday's Clues!", the not-yet-Challengers gather in Rocky's apartment, each haunted by past missions that now feel eerily relevant. As tensions rise, old secrets surface—Professor Haley’s inheritance, Red’s brush with a South American dictator, and Ace’s growing unease about being targeted—while a confession looms, threatening to unravel their fragile trust.
In "The Secret of the Seventh Super-Hero!", Superboy faces a mystery when a new Legion recruit, Sun Boy, arrives with suspiciously familiar powers—while back in Smallville, a look-alike named Tom Tanner, a fugitive from reform school, begins impersonating Clark Kent, throwing the town into chaos.
In "Underworld Reward!", Aquaman lands on the surface world with a mission: to track down the criminals who abducted Mera, suspecting they’re from above. His arrival coincides with a brutal gangland killing, drawing the wrath of a powerful crime syndicate that places a bounty on his head. Meanwhile, far beneath the waves, the Men of Eldfur rely on Aqualad to confront the terrifying Bugala, a monstrous threat rising from the deep.
In "The Legion of Super-Traitors!" from Adventure Comics #495, Superboy finds himself facing off against his Legion of Super-Heroes teammates—now under the mind-control of the sinister Brain-Globes of Rambat. Once freed from the alien parasites, the Legionnaires rally around Superboy, uniting with four powerful super-pets to fight back against the mindless threat.
In "Crime Carnival!", Sandman and his son Sandy take on a bizarre string of crimes linked to the mysterious Mammoth Circus, where performers vanish mid-act and the police chase a getaway vehicle that transforms before their eyes—leaving only a trail of circus dust and unanswered questions.
