In "Saturn Rising," the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes—Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Lightning Lad—team up with the Science Police to stop a wave of rogue automatons targeting robot manufacturers. As the youngest and most hesitant of the trio, Saturn Girl confronts her own doubts, determined to prove she belongs in the field despite her inexperience. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Kevin Sharpe, with inks by Marlo Alquiza and colors by Blond, this pivotal issue sets the stage for her evolution. The cover, by Scott Clark and David Beaty with additional pencils and inks by Gary Frank, captures the moment of quiet resolve before the storm.

Back when the Legion consisted of just the founders, the three heroes work with the Science Police to stop Zaryan's automatons from raiding robot manufacturers. Though all three show their inexperience, Saturn Girl decides she has to work to hold her own in physical confrontations alongside the boys. After the mission ends in tragedy and after an indiscretion, Saturn Girl makes two more decisions that will have an impact on her future.
