š„Ā CLASSICĀ SILVER AGE ISSUE!Ā
It's Parent's Day in the 30th Century and while the majority of the Legion of Super-Heroes are off celebrating with their parents, Superboy, Brainiac 5, Mon-El, Dream Girl, and Element Lad, all orphans stay behind at the Legion Club-House to monitor things.
The group get a distress call from the planet Zenith, who's power crystal that powers the planet has been stolen by raiders. Racing out into space, the five orphan Legion members go after the raiders to take back the stolen crystal. When they arrive on planet Zenith they learn that the raiders have left and ditched the power crystal in a nearby pond. While Superboy and Mon-El race off to capture the raiders the others dive down into the pond to collect the stolen crystal. However, when they attempt to lift it, the crystal causes their bodies to physically regress in age. When Superboy and Mon-El arrive, Brainiac 5 warns them of the crystals power. Ignoring his warnings, the two heroes dive into the water and collect the crystal. It has the same effect on them, changing them all into five year old children and reverting their minds to the same mentality.
They are picked up by a police patrol and brought to an interstellar orphanage, only Brainaic 5 has managed to maintain his mental status and attempts to get adopted so that he might find a way to restore the other Legion members back to normal. Unfortunately for Brainaic 5, the others are adopted by families first when impressing them with their super-abilities.
