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

Suddenly Stargrave reveals to Brainy he can not only read his thoughts but knows his real name. I love how the panel swings off access in the middle of the page and narrows to gocus on Querl's shocked expression.
