Synopsis
On the planet to which they followed Tangleweb, several Legionnaires fight with spider-like creatures similar to him, but ultimately are captured. Later, Invisible Kid arrives on the planet, having followed his teammates in his own ship, but cannot find them. Suddenly, he hears something behind him.
On Earth, Saturn Girl scans the mind of the injured Triad to ascertain the details behind the assault on her, and blames her situation on Cosmic Boy's refusal to take the entire team on the Tangleweb mission.
Elsewhere, Andromeda awakens and berates herself for fainting in panic when her transuit, which protects her from lead poisoning, became torn. She frees her teammates and they discover that Chameleon. They find him in the presence of a spider-creature, who he tells them not to attack.
On Durla, a group of Durlans raises three gems containing living beings from within a volcano, and one of them frees himself from the gem and attacks the group.
Back on Tangleweb's world, Invisible Kid falls into a trap which brings him into Tangleweb's lair. He tries to free Cosmic Boy from Tangleweb's clutches, but Tangleweb catches him first. Elsewhere on that planet, Chameleon, using his shape-changing body to pantomime a story, explains to his teammates that the other spider-like beings told him that Tangleweb is a criminal amongst their kind, one who looted technology from crashed ships to augment his body and mind.
As Chameleon finishes the tale, the Legionnaires receive a message from Cosmic Boy that he, Spark and Invisible Kid are fighting Tangleweb and that they need help. The other Legionnaires arrive, and Chameleon tells Invisible Kid that Tangleweb eats other beings' brains to boost his own intellect which will allow him to create other cyborg creatures like himself. The Legionnaires are suddenly attacked by these others. Leviathan, realizing that Andromeda is the only one of them who is powerful enough to stop Tangleweb and his creatures but is afraid of touching them, grabs her and inspires her to be more active in the battle. She responds by separating the entire piece of the planet that the battle is on from the planet, placing it in space where the cold would freeze Tangleweb and his allies (the Legionnaires flew off when they realized what was happening).
Later, Cosmic Boy forgives Invisible Kid for disobeying his orders, and tells Leviathan that they have successfully avenged the blood of Kid Quantum.
