    Part 2 of 4. After an unexpected attack by Superboy in the past, the Legion of Super-Heroes escaped in the Time Bubble several years into the future and landed in Superman's time period. The Legion and Superman met for the first time which confused members of the Legion except for Brainiac 5. Superboy was able to follow the Legion and captured them as well.
