Synopsis for "To Sleep a Thousand Years..."
As Tellus makes his way through Legion Headquarters,
he encounters Polar Boy, who is extremely pleased with his
recent accomplishments as Legion leader, Sun Boy and
Laurel Kent, who are returning from a late date, Shadow
Lass, Shrinking Violet, and Invisible Kid, who are using the
gym facilities, and Chameleon Boy, who is leaving to visit
the hospitalized Colossal Boy. All remain unaware that
Laurel does not leave the building after parting company
with Sun Boy, but instead steals into the Multi-Lab, and
begins accessing computer data. When Brainiac 5 accosts
her, she attacks him with unsuspected super-strength. No
sooner does she defeat him, however, than Tellus, Violet,
and Shadow Lass appear and continue the battle. Unable
to steal any more data, Laurel smashes through the
inertron ceiling and flies away. After Brainiac 5 determines the nature of the stolen
information, he and the other three Legionnaires, as well
as Sun Boy and Element Lad, journey to a remote Buddhist
temple in the Himalayas, where another computer de-
signed for genealogical research, the type of data accessed
by Laurel, is known to exist. The resident monks welcome
the heroes, but Tellus warns them that the monks are
actually inhuman androids, a fact borne out when the
monks attack them. The androids defeated, the Legionnaires enter the
temple to discover Laurel Kent, who reveals herself as a
Manhunter who has remained hidden on Earth for a thou-
sand years, even as she battles the teammates to a standstill.
Then, as the Legionnaires look on, Laurel causes the entire
temple to explode.
