Superboy #65

In "Hyper-Tension! Epilogue: Out of Hyper-Time!", Superboy, Ace, Prof, and June face the wreckage of the Hypershuttle at the Planet Krypton restaurant, where they encounter Rocky. With Red lost and the mysterious Prof holding a fragment of hyperium and knowledge of Hypertime, the team resolves to dive back in—while Superboy prepares to leave for Cadmus, where a host of heroes await to take his place. Meanwhile, Heat Wave’s attempt at redemption leads to a shocking reveal: Hawk and Dove are actually Punch and Julee, and their hostage-taking ends in a swift takedown—earning Heat Wave a shot at becoming Superboy’s new backup. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Tom Grummett, with cover art by Tom Grummett and Karl Kesel, this 1999 issue delivers a high-stakes, character-driven climax to the Hypertime arc.
