In "Mettle," Chameleon Boy and Brainiac 5 team up with Element Lad and Shvaughn Erin to unravel the mystery behind a Legion impostor, while at the Legion Academy, hopeful recruits face the harsh truth that none of them are ready to join the ranks—yet. Written by Keith Giffen and Paul Levitz, with art by Giffen and inks by Larry Mahlstedt, this 2014 issue blends suspense and character-driven drama in a story that honors the legacy of the Legion of Super-Heroes. The cover, a dazzling mosaic of legendary artists including Carmine Infantino, George Pérez, and Joe Kubert, pays tribute to the team’s rich history.
