ADVENTURE COMICS - #377 (1968 - VG)
š„Ā CLASSICĀ SILVER AGE ISSUE!Ā
Captured by the Legion and the Science Police, criminal Alk Ranff tells them that his gang operates from the planet Modo, a world controlled by Modulus, a being who is part of Modo itself. Modo has become a safe haven for criminals of many planets, and because Kryptonite and hostages are kept there, the Legion is helpless to interfere.
Returning to their headquarters to think things through, they finally announce that the situation seems hopeless and that their own welfare is more important. Their meaning soon becomes clear, as Superboy answers an alarm to save an air transport ship from crashing into the Indian Ocean, but only after one passenger, millionaire Leland McCauley III, pays him for doing so. Similarly, Karate Kid saves the irreplaceable rare book collection of the Carey Interplanetary Library, after demanding a reward of five million dollars. An indignant Leland McCauley contacts the Legion and demands that they make an appearance on the "Meet the Press" program to explain their behavior. On worldwide TV, the heroes explain that they are helpless before the current crime wave, and have decided to earn money with their deeds, no matter how the public reacts. In the days that follow, the crime wave increases, and the public turns against the Legion.
