Synopsis
Saturn Girl tries to probe Chameleon's mind in order to enable him to speak with the other Legionnaires, but she flees after finding what appear to be corpses. When Invisible Kid explains that what she saw were shapes which Chameleon's subconscious mind stores in order for him to be able to change to those forms, she walks away in a huff, embarrassed by her failure.
On Durla, several Science Police officers respond to a distress call. A murderous Durlan, the reason for the call, ambushes them and kills them, and then disguises itself as one of the officers and takes off in their ship to find Reep Daggle, who had, since their last encounter, become the Legionnaire Chameleon. In Legion HQ, Spark receives a love letter from a secret admirer, and a disappointed Apparition receives a cactus as a gift from Ultra Boy.
Elsewhere, Shrinking Violet confronts Andromeda with the suspicion that the nightclub thugs they had recently encountered were responsible for the beating of Triad. Elsewhere, Saturn Girl decides that the problems of the Legion are Cosmic Boy's fault and she goes to tell him that, but before she can do so, she and Cosmic Boy see Leviathan and S.P. officer get attacked by a Durlan at Science Police headquarters. The Durlan knocks out Leviathan, and the other officers move to attack it, which they think they have done successfully after killing what appears to be a mouse.
Soon, the other Legionnaires arrive, and an officer shows them the mouse, telling them it was the Durlan. Chameleon tells them that the mouse is not the Durlan, and the S. P. officer holding the creature soon confirms this be changing himself. He attacks Chameleon and the rest of the Legion fights to defend him. The Durlan copies the powers of each Legionnaire who attacks him, much to the Legionnaires' surprise. He explains that he was created to be a living weapon and then imprisoned as a living sin by the Durlan religious leadership, to which Chameleon belongs. Cosmic Boy sends Andromeda away so that the Durlan will not copy her powers, and then the Legionnaires attack it, watching it copy each of their powers to stymie them.
Suddenly, after copying Brainiac 5, it gets the idea of copying the forms and powers of many of them at the same time, turning himself into a Composite Man with the powers of all the Legionnaires.
