They soon regret this decision as Command Kid behaves arrogantly and upstages his teammates every chance he gets. Feeling demoralized, the Legionnaires express a desire to have greater powers such as Command Kid’s. He gives them each a pill that places them in suspended animation and tells them that when they wake up, they will be just like him .
