Comment(s):

This version of the adult Legion of Super-Villains is stated to be in the 21st century, though that is likely an error. Chronology to be reviewed and updated as warranted.
The Legion of Super-Villains, viewing the escape of the Kandorian criminals, embark on a bizarre and convoluted plot to be sentenced to imprisonment in the Phantom Zone where the will supposedly tear a hole in the Zone allowing all the prisoners to escape. The grateful Kryptonians will then, supposedly, join the Legion of Super-Villains and help rule the Earth.
