The War Between the Substitute Heroes and the Legionnaires

After stopping the machine, they alert the Legionnaires, but when the super-heroes return to earth, they belittle the Subs and reject their offer of assistance. The Subs again try to prove their worth by building defensive robots to ward off further invaders, but the Legionnaires respond by ordering the Subs to disband. When the Subs refuse to comply, the Legionnaires send one of their own defensive robots to ransack the Subs’ headquarters. As they escape, the Subs declare war on the Legion.
