"Time and Chance" kicks off a high-stakes mystery in Legionnaires #1, as the team races to uncover who ordered the assassination attempt on R. J. Brande before Kid Quantum’s funeral. With tension mounting and secrets unraveling, XS narrowly prevents a deadly bomb from claiming more lives, while Mano’s grief over the destruction of his homeworld Angtu drives him to a devastating act of vengeance. Written by Mark Waid, Tom McCraw, and Tom Peyer, with art by Jeffrey Moy and inks by Ron Boyd, the issue blends emotional weight and suspense, all wrapped in Stuart Immonen’s striking cover.
In "Forced Friends, Deadly Consequences!", the Legionnaires’ founding members face their toughest test yet as they mentor new recruits during their first mission—only to be ambushed by the elusive Tangleweb, turning their training into a fight for survival. With tension rising and trust still unproven, the team must learn to rely on one another before it's too late.
In "The Quick and the Dead," the Legionnaires race to uncover who ordered the assassination of R. J.

In "Things at Hand!" from Legionnaires #1, the Legionnaires are summoned to the Moon by Leland McCauley to investigate a mysterious disturbance—only to confront the vengeful Mano, who has made the lunar surface his battleground. The story unfolds as the team grapples with the unexpected threat, testing their unity and resolve in a setting far from their new headquarters.
In "The Descent of Mano!", Mano’s rampage reaches a shocking climax when he destroys the moonbase dome, but the Legionnaires hold firm—surviving his assault and bringing him down. Afterward, Leland McCauley extends a tempting offer to join his cause, yet the team chooses to return to Earth, where Live Wire faces an unexpected twist: his sister has taken his place.
In "Sibling Rivalry," the Legionnaires grapple with internal tensions as they debate whether to keep Live Wire on the team, only to face off against Ultra Boy in a clash that quickly shifts when Live Wire learns Ultra Boy might know something about his missing brother.
