Rich little kids seeking to cause trouble use an advanced time scoop to bring Tommy Monaghan - the Hitman - into the 853rd century. They think that he is a big superheroe and hope to access his "iconic power". While trying to explain reality to the kids Monaghan is forced to kill the future Gunfire M* igniting a fight between two superhuman factions. At gun point the kids send him back only to try again later. Unfortunately they only manage to summon Etrigan the Demon.
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #1,000,000 - "1,000 Years Later..."
w Tom Peyer p. Keith Giffen i. Al Gordon
One thousand years after the events of the return of Superman Prime in Earth Tesseract 63060 three youngsters find an ancient page of pictures. They agree to keep it secret from the adults of the Tesseract whose hermetic culture outlaws any new ideas or anything that acts to make one person distinct from another. One of their parents finds out about the page and violently beats his son forcing him to destroy the item. This unleashes the power of the Wildflame - the story keeper of the Legion of Superheroes.
The Wildflame essence relates to the children the history of the LSH up until the final generation in 85,271 AD. After a signal that Earth was under threat from Solaris I a mysterious chaos over came the United Planet Cluster - a large star ship formed from the core planets of the ancient United Planets. The attacks are revealed to be the work of the Titanians who sought to break out on their own now that it appeared the journey to Earth was in vain. Eventually the Titanians and Titangirl were defeated.
The children awaken to find themselves back in Tesseract 63060. Their parents frightened by the new ideas that their children keep talking about have them placed in a Correctional Institution. While in captivity they are visited once more by the Wildflame who transforms them into metahumans. The Legion of Superheroes is reborn once more.
