“The Quest for Cosmic Boy,” part 3 of 5. Why is Cosmic Boy wanted for war crimes? Why is his biggest rival, Mekt Ranzz, defending him? Will special prosecutor Tenzil Kem be forced to eat his own words? And what is the Cult of Validus? There are shocking developments on the lightning world of Winath! SPOILERS A contingent of Legionnaires, consisting of Atom Girl, Shadow Lass and Timber Wolf, find themselves on the planet of Lallor to search for their former leader, Cosmic Boy. When they reach Lallor, they are attacked by soldiers there. Lallor is in the middle of a civil war between two factions, one that wants to join the United Planets and one that does not. The president, who wants to join the UP, has heard word that his opposing faction has hired a super-powered assassin to kill him. When the Legionnaires arrive on the planet, the Lallor soldiers mistakingly believe that it is them. Before too long, the actual assassin reveals himself. He was a former Legion of Super-Heroes tryout member called E.R.G-1. He explains, upon meeting with the Legionnaires, what occurred in the past and how Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad left him to die on his first mission, which is a skewed version of the story. After E.R.G.-1 blasts part of the roof on Timber Wolf, Timber Wolf knocks the debris away to reveal that he has been transformed into a much more feral version of himself. — Description from Comic Vine community (comicvine.gamespot.com).
