Absolute Power
Synopsis
The Legionnaires flee from the Composite Man, who has managed to duplicate all their powers simultaneously. Chameleon then attacks him, and the Composite Man informs Chameleon that he has killed Chameleon's father and most of Durla's religious leadership.
While Chameleon screams in grief, the Composite Man attacks the Legion again and the Legionnaires bury him in the ground. Cosmic Boy asks Saturn Girl to read the Composite Man's mind, but she refuses to, having developed a fear of the Durlan mind after entering Chameleon's earlier that day. She instead tells Andromeda to move further from the battle site, which Andromeda does, saying she has other things to do.
Afterwards, Chameleon, through Invisible Kid's interpretation, tells the other Legionnaires what the Composite Man had done to his family and tells Brainiac 5 the formula for the substance that the Durlan priests had used to imprison him until now. The Composite Man digs his way to the surface, and XS takes off at super-speed with Chameleon on her back to keep the Composite Man away from Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5, who are recreating the imprisonment substance.
Once they are done, Saturn Girl has XS lead the Composite Man back toward the Legion, where the Legionnaires shower him with the substance. The Composite Man pretends to be in pain, but then surprises them by attacking, leading Invisible Kid to realize that he had mistranslated one of the formula's ingredients. Saturn Girl, realizing that she's the team's only hope for victory, forces herself to overcome her fear of the Durlan mind and shut down the Composite Man's mind, an act which causes her to lose her sanity.
Later, Chameleon and Invisible Kid tell Cosmic Boy of their intention to go to Durla to bury Chameleon's father, and orderlies from a psychiatric hospital take Saturn Girl to their facility.
