Synopsis:
The Legion computer alerts a small group of Legionnaires that one of them is an imposter. Before the computer can reveal the intruder's identity, it explodes. The Legion is then called away to battle Sunburst, a crook with solar powers similar to Sun Boy.

Dream Girl receives a vision that Sunburst will be defeated by his own power. Lightning Lad and Element Lad both fail to stop him and Mon-El is weakened when he attacks. Finally Shadow Lass is able to blind Sunburst, allowing Mon-El to knock him out.

After the battle the Legionnaires accuse each other of being the imposter. Only Shadow Lass's power seemed to work correctly. However, Mon-El unmasks her as the intruder. She was working with Sunburst in order to infiltrate the Legion.
