The Legion accepts him on Saturn Girl's say so, and Mystery Lad joins the group on their quest to stop Roxxas. During their battle, Mystery Lad exhibits different supposed abilities that keep the other Legion members missing. However, when Roxxas recognizes Mystery Lad for what he can really do - Change the properties of matter - Mystery Lad decides to turn himself over to Roxxas so nobody else gets hurt. However, when "Mystery Boy" refuses to turn objects into gold for Roxxas, he changes the gas aboard the ship into a toxic one that threatens to kill him. Roxxas and his goons, wearing space helmets manage to avoid the effects of the gas and try to make their escape. However, they are captured by the Legion who manage to arrive just in time to save Mystery Lad's life.

w:Edmond Hamilton
a: John Forte
While draping a ceremonial cape on the grave of the recently deceased Lightning Lad, the Legion of Super-Heroes is shocked when Lightning Lad seemingly rises from his coffin, alive and well. After recharging his apparent lost powers, Lightning Lad rejoins the Legion. However, on their daily routine of missions, each of the Legion members (including Chameleon Boy's new pet Proty) begin to suspect that the person aiding them is not their Lightning Lad.

After busting up some alien criminals, the Legion figures out the truth, that this is not really Lightning Lad at all, but his twin sister disguised as him. She reveals that she took the body of her brother to a planet where there is perpetual lightning as a suitable resting place and decided to take his place to continue his heroic tradition in his place. With the truth revealed, the Legion accepts her into their team and she is rechristened as Lightning Lass. - via DCWikia
