But Rond understood. He knew to send Rugarth through the same experiment but with more power to keep him trapped in the cycle of time.

The Legion sets out on different paths to find a way to save Rond and stop the Infinite Man. During this part we see that both Star Boy and Brainy have the same nervous tic of twisting their flight ring. I like to think Jesse Rath was inspired by this panel

Brainy himself will get a taste of this at the hands... or rather lips of Glorith much much later in another timeline.

Mild mannered Rugarth has been transformed by his journey into the Infinite Man with the power to manipulate time and he wants revenge on Rond Vidar.

Pack to poor Professor Rugarth of the Time Institute. He has the utmost faith in the genius of Brainiac 5 and former child prodigy Rond Vidar but they make sure the reader knows he is fully aware of the risks which will become very important a decade later.

0 3

In another highly unethical move Rond Vidar with the help of Brainy wants to prove time is a circle & has modified his time tech to send a person on a full trip through the cycle of time. Prof. Jaxon Rugarth of the time institute is the victim... er volunteer

I was going to write something witty about Rond but my 7 year old just walked in and wanted to know why Brainy, Nura and Star Boy were all showing their butts but not Wildfire so I had to explain Wildfire doesn't actually have a butt.

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 233 (8/23/1977) Starts out with the Sklarians (all female group of pirates from a moderately technologically advanced planet who always try to steal Brainy's gizmos) trying to steal Brainy's super important gizmo du jour

In Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 232 (7/21/1977) An assasin ruins Brainy's (probably non-existant) Klordny plans.

0 4

In Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes 231 (6/21/1977) Brainy investigates solar flares, fights the Emerald Empress, evacuates a planet. . . but most importantly... makes an educated guess

1 13

In Superboy and The Legion of Super-Heroes 230 (5/19/1977) Brainy has to figure out how to stop an inexplicable earthquage and volcano only to have to deal with this guy Sden who tried and failed to trick them into giving him a powerful magic gem

In DC Special 28 (3/10/1977) the power goes out in 30th century Metropolis and the whole city risks being turned to glass in a massive explosion unless Brainy's plan for Chemical King and Phantom Girl works out.

So how do they defeat Stargrave? While he is giving his super long boring speach Superboy and Wildfire show up and punch him into Colu's sun (nobody seems to think this killed him but neither are they going to retreive him)🤷 Don't worry though.. he'll be back

Stargrave: No doubt, you have analyzed my motives-- and understand why I've come here!
Brainy: I have and I do!
Stargrave: Allow me to explain for you!

Great great great grandpa is not a very good listener.

Brainy deduces that Pulsar Stargrave is hiding out in the museum remembering the Computer Tyrants of Colu. He is right of course but Quicksand is there waiting for them.

Brainy fills Garth and Imra in on the story of Brainiac (mostly for the readers) but adds that he was telling the truth about being revived by aliens which is not really of much importance going forward. Then he announces he has a plan.

0 4

Brainy realises his imposter is and android. One so sophisticated it could trick even Saturn Girl's telepathy. Lightning Lad gives it a small jolt that short circuits it. I do feel that destroying an android that can fool a telepath is on shakey ethical ground

"--And finally, the most devastating attack of all-- on Brainiac-5's soul! It was this attack which revealed the true identity of Stargrave..."

0 3

The Legion figures out that the attacker is not Brainy because apparently he doesn't need a space helmet? I could go & pull panels of Brainy wearing space helmets but this 1x I am going to let it slide and point out Lightning Lad was miscolored as Brainy 4x
