Synopsis While Superboy leads the charge against Superboy-Prime in the 31st century, Superman and the Legion founders fight Superboy-Prime in his guise as the Time Trapper at the end of time. Tapping into the unique properties at the end of time, the founders bring in Legionnaires from many different timelines and alternate realities to help them take down the Trapper. In the 31st century, the tide turns against the Legion of Super-Villains when Bouncing Boy and Duplicate Damsel arrive and when the White Witch draws the mystical power out of Mordru. The founders and Superman bring the Time Trapper to the 31st century where Superboy-Prime, enraged at the Time Trapper's claim to be him in the future, attacks the Trapper, knocking his older self out of existence and sending Prime back to his old life on Earth-Prime. In the aftermath, the Legion from Earth-Prime heads home, while the Legion from Earth-247 heads out to find more survivors in the multiverse. Back in the present, Superman re-introduces Superboy and Kid Flash to the Titans and Teen Titans.
