R.E.B.E.L.S. #[1]

In "The Future Is Now," Vril Dox arrives on Earth hunted by mercenaries, driven by a mysterious signal to find Supergirl—only to discover that her heat vision is key to unlocking a legacy buried in a disc. With the help of a device built from that revelation, a centuries-old program from Brainiac 5 begins to rewrite Vril’s fate, while the Omega Men clash with a transformed L.E.G.I.O.N. under new command.

In "The First Recruit," Vril Dox, haunted by the lingering influence of the Brainiac 5 program, must decide his own fate as he evades bounty hunters and takes control of the semi-sentient weapon Tribulus. With a new purpose forming, he begins assembling a team, first reaching out to the enigmatic Omega Men and their leader Elu, then turning to the isolated Wildstar at Starhaven.

In "A World of Hurt," Vril Dox reimagines Wildfire as a being of anti-energy, forging a dangerous alliance as they journey to Cairn to recruit two new allies. Meanwhile, on Maltus, the Omega Men uncover the truth behind the takeover of L.E.G.I.O.N., setting the stage for a clash of ideologies and power.

In "From Beyond," Vril Dox, newly freed from prison and pursued by Captain Ciji, flees toward Maltus only to find it overrun by a Starro infestation. With his plans upended, Dox must navigate a shifting landscape of betrayal and alien threat, while the Omega Men—abandoned on Maltus—are suddenly summoned to a Psion ship to confront a Starro-controlled armada. The story unfolds with tense momentum, blending high-stakes survival and moral reckoning in the shadow of cosmic invasion.

In "The Stars We Are," Dox finds himself caught between conflicting forces as Captain Ciji reveals the Shadow Council of Durla seeks to restore the old order, while Astrild Storm-Daughter arrives with a message from her master, Starro the Conqueror, demanding Coluan servitude. As Dox sends Wildstar on a mission to Maltus to retrieve Silica’s remains, Amon Hakk secretly boards the ship, and the Psions alert the Omega Men that Starro is their target—leaving Dox to decide where his loyalties truly lie.

In "Dominators," Vril Dox must navigate treachery and deception as Starro's conquest of the Dominator homeworld sends shockwaves across the galaxy. With Wildstar and Silica at his side, Dox races to secure a subspace transmitter from the Gordanians, knowing that only through a desperate gamble can they turn Maltus’s own peacekeepers into a shield to contain Starro’s growing threat.
