As we open part two of the Legion of Super-Heroes vs. the Legion of Super-Villains, we see that Light Lass has been placed as a prisoner in a dungeon of some sorts with power dampeners on her arms.  Her older brother Lightning Lord comes to pay her a little visit in hopes of recruiting her to the cause of the LSV.  It appears that Lightning Lord has gone completely insane as he now says that storms are speaking to him.  Light Lass refuses the offer, but Lightning Lord swears that he will obey him or die.

Some of the members of the Legion of Super-Villains starting upper-left corner and moving clockwise:  (Spider Girl, Ol-Vir, Micro Lad, Cosmic King, Mist Master, Lazon, Sun Emperor, Radiation Roy, Terrus, Lightning Lord, Silver Slasher, and Terrus).

On M-17W, Lazon, Titania, and Magno Lad are stealing fusion powerspheres for a project that the LSV has planned when they are interrupted by Wildfire and Dawnstar.  While the heroes get the villains on the run for a little bit, they are then overpowered when Dawnstar is attacked by Lazon and Wildfire’s suit is compromised when he is distracted.

The Legion gathers its intel and comes to the conclusion that there is indeed a new LSV that has been formed and they set about attempting to figure out what their main goal is for the time being.

Back on M-17W, Mon-El arrives in time to save Dawnstar from falling into the planet’s surface.  Titania is able to distract Ultra Boy and Mon-El long enough for the villains to get away with their spoils before any more Legionnaires show up.  With Dawnstar’s wounds tended to and a new suit for Wildfire they intend to track the villains down.

On Medicus One, a very pregnant Saturn Girl is set to give birth to her child, while she, Lightning Lad, and Cosmic Boy discuss the current situation regarding the LSV and more importantly long term plans for the Legion itself.

At the LSV’s hq we see a full meeting room of Super-Villains, Cosmic King, Spider Girl, Ol-Vir, Terrus, Radiation Roy, Esper Lass, Lightning Lord, Neutrax, Chameleon Chief, Sun Emperor, Silver Slasher, Mist Master, and Ron-Karr.  The placement of Lightning Lord as the Jesus Christ in the image of the Last Supper tribute would seem to imply he is the leader of this LSV, but that would be a mistaken assumption.

Back on Earth, the Legion is scattered searching for the villains when an alert comes in that the LSV is attacking the polymer screen that surrounds the Earth.  With only Element Lad to respond, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl assist him, despite all protests Saturn Girl insists, but she is at a severe disadvantage as her labor begins while she is in the sights of the villain Tyr.   When Lightning Lad sees this Sun Emperor begins to take advantage of the situation as Zymyr warps the villains away before their vengeance can be taken.

Wildfire, Dawnstar, Mon-El, Ultra Boy, Shadow Lass, Timber Wolf, and Chameleon Boy are following the trail to find the villains only to have Terrus set off an asteroid belt trap to attack them.  As the Legionnaires fight back Terrus wonders if he will be the first to kill a Legionnaire.

As Karate Kid and Queen Projectra arrive at Orando after their honeymoon, we discover that this is where the LSV has been headquartered, in the royal castle.  The cruiser they are in is taken down with ease and a villain takes Karate Kid’s Legion flight ring and twists the alarm to send the Legion coming to their doom.

But, before that can happen there is the matter of Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl’s impending childbirth happening on Medicus One.

While pursuing a lead to Avalon, where Mordru is imprisoned, the White Witch, Colossal Boy, Phantom Girl, and Cosmic Boy they discover that Mordru has been unearthed.  It turns out a cabal of wizards unrelated to the LSV have taken the mage and are attempting to reanimate him with using some residual magic left over from the time of the Great Darkness.  In doing so, they magically kidnap Shadow Kid and Shadow Lass, causing Dawnstar to attempt to track where Shadow Lass and her cousin are being held in stasis for the focus to reproduce darkness throughout the universe.

This happens simultaneously with Saturn Girl’s body giving child birth.  The two Legion teams come upon the hideout of the mages and defeat them, keep Mordru from waking up, and save the Shadow cousins from further harm.  On Medicus One, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad welcome a baby boy that they name Graym.

Off on a dark planet, a babe in swaddling clothes appears, Graym’s twin… the baby is approached by Darkseid, who says that he shall change the child and twist its appearance so no one will know him and send him back in time to meet his parents before they even thought to have him.  Darkseid names the child Validus.  Thus Darkseid’s curse is fulfilled.
