The Legion of Super-Heroes Archives #6

In "The Outcast Super-Heroes!" — a pivotal chapter from The Legion of Super-Heroes Archives #6 (1996), written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan — the Legion's unity shatters when the ghost of Ferro Lad commands their disbandment. As Superboy grapples with the aftermath, a hidden Controller emerges, revealing his sinister plan to weaponize the Legion using the Sun-Eater’s legacy. But when a mysterious force answers Superboy’s call through his flight ring, the Controller is driven to terror — and death — in a moment that redefines the Legion’s future. The cover by Stuart Immonen captures the intensity of this turning point.
