Meanwhile, on [[Braal/Reboot|Braal]], sports star [[Cosmic Boy/Reboot|Rokk Krinn]] holds an impromptu press conference before being rushed to the shuttle to Earth by [[Alex Cuspin]], his manager; while on [[Titan/Reboot|Titan]], [[Science Police/Reboot|Science Police]] trainee [[Saturn Girl/Reboot|Imra Ardeen]] successfully sees that the owner of some "stolen" crystals had actually taken them themselves.

The following day, Imra, frustrated with the menial tasks she is given as a rookie, accepts an invitation from [[Triad|Luornu Durgo]], R. J.

They all meet in the anteroom to Brande's office, where Imra tells Rokk that his manager is embezzling his money. When he proceeds to threaten Imra, Garth rushes to defend her to her surprise.

The three youths see images of famous twentieth-century super-heroes appear one by one before their eyes, and when Rokk laments the lack of heroes in recent times, R.

P. needs a visible symbol of interplanetary cooperation, and that the three of them, acting as costumes super-heroes, could fill that need. The three of them agree to try it out.

Elsewhere, Brande's business partner, [[Roderick Doyle]], arranges for another attempt on the lives of Brande and other delegates of various members of the United Planets, declaring his disgust at the concept of interplanetary cooperation and his fear that if he fails to stop the U.

Synopsis

Three Years Ago...

Mekt, Garth and Ayla Ranzz were in their parents' new cruiser, with Garth egging Mekt on and Ayla nervous, when the charge cells begin to drain rapidly. Having made an emergency landing on Korbal, Mekt finds that the cells were shorted out, and they were stuck. Ayla suggests using the lightning beasts to recharge the ship. While she warns they "get spooked real easily", Garth turned and saw two beasts, letting out a "HOLY--"

"--GRIFE!"

Waking out of the dream/nightmare/flashback with a jolt, Garth check the time and decides to get moving quickly from his motel room before it's discovered he ran away, remembering that Winathian police "aren't too patient with runaways."

Meanwhile, on Braal, sports star Rokk Krinn holds an impromptu press conference before being rushed to the shuttle to Earth by Alex Cuspin, his manager; while on Titan, Science Police trainee Imra Ardeen successfully sees that the owner of some "stolen" crystals had actually taken them themselves. She's congratulated by her superiors, who say she'll impress the S.P. on Earth.

On the shuttle to Earth, Garth boards and finds a seat next to Rokk, who had boarded at Braal. The two then look in awe at their fellow passenger, R.J.

With the timestream restored, it's back to the future for the incredible origin of the 30th century's greatest heroes. Multibillionaire R.J. Brande is looking for a way to repay the universe for his lifetime of prosperity. When Brande is targeted for assassination, three super-powered teenagers battle to save his life, inspiring the wealthy philanthropist to back the creation of a new heroic tradition —— one embodied by a Legion of Super-Heroes.
