Main article: Legionnaires 78

A cascade of energy travels through stargates, collapsing the stargate network as it passes over Aleph, Xanthu, Braal, Winath, Korzon 5, Rimbor and Loberzia, on its' way to Earth...

Part One (no subtitle)

Main article: Legion of Super-Heroes v4 122

One Month Later, the Blight has taken over Earth, "blighting" most Legionnaires and the visiting Amazers into its' service. Live Wire, XS, Chameleon and Shvaughn Erin are all that remains free of the Legion, and they begin to despair even as they try to get a bunch of refugees to R.J. Brande, who is planning to open a last stargate away from Earth once he has collected as many refugees as possible. Confronted by a couple of Blight and the Blighted Karate Kid, Umbra and Ultra Boy, they lose. Live Wire radios Brande to move the refugees even as Shvaughn and XS are captured, while he is "choke-weeded". Only Chameleon escapes, disguised as a rat.

With the captive Legionnaires and refugees taken to an internment camp, and then on to the Blight's headquarters, The Stem, for interrogation given their Resistance origins. Chameleon, meanwhile, is lost, unable to return to Brande's headquarters in case he is followed, and knowing that they would move soon if they hadn't already. He hides in the ruined Science Police HQ to wait to see if he had been followed. He isn't disappointed, as the Blighted Star Boy and three Amazers attack. Using stun grenades he'd pre-wired, he takes out the Amazers, then blasts Star Boy with a maximum intensity stun from his blaster. Hearing more noises outside, and expecting more Blighted, he reluctantly sets the blaster to lethal levels before checking.

What he finds are the previously missing, unblighted and confused Apparition, Cosmic Boy, Brainiac 5.1 and Monstress.
