"Time and Chance" marks a pivotal moment in the Legion of Super-Heroes: The Beginning of Tomorrow series, as the team races to uncover the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on R. J.

When the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes take on their first mission with new recruits, they’re thrust into a deadly ambush by the enigmatic Tangleweb, testing their unity and resolve from the very start. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of their journey—and the cost of becoming heroes.
